It's a reach I think. But it is always worth applying if you are seriously interested.

I would say it's a match as well. Considering there aren't a lot of Asian students at Colgate, that should definitely work in your favor with the adcoms. I applied ED and also got admitted with slightly lower stats. So go for it!
