if you apply ED id say you have an excellent shot
if you apply regular id say you have a good shot. your workload and ECs definitely show you are very qualified but your ACT/SAT/GPA is toward the lower end of the range, but you still have time to bring those up!

I agree with CK. Your stats are lower than my son (attending Colgate) and my daughter (waitlisted at Colgate and attending Cornell). Make yourself stand out some way.
