Chances?

I'm looking at colgate because i've heard a lot of great things about it. if you could chance me, that'd be great.
GPA: 3.3 unweighted, 3.75 weighted
SATs: 2220 (700 math, 720 writing, 800 critical reading)
SAT 2's: i plan on taking german, us history, and bio
AP classes: sophomore year- US Gov and politics (3)
junior year- microeconomics, macroeconomics, environmental science, english 11, and world history
senior year- german 4, psych, english 12, us history, biology
extracurriculars: german club, national language honor society, national art honor society, piano, habitat for humanity, 3 years indoor track, 2 years outdoor track, 1 year managing outdoor track, and 3 years as a community tutor for elementary schoolers
work: 1 year working at a physical therapy office; setting up patients, handling front desk work, etc.
school: my class rank will probably be top 50%, but not by much. it's verrrry competitive.

Your UW GPA is extremely low; try to get that up and you'd increase your chances a lot.

Even at a highly, highly competitive school (like top 50 in the country) your GPA still doesn't look good.

An SAT of 1500 is far into the top 1% so that your school must be very well respected or you have severely underperformed your potential. Where have the 'average' students from your high school gone in the past?
