I think you'll definitely get in. I believe the minimum required GPA is 3.5, and you have well over that in weighted. Since I live in the city next to Boulder, I've seen tons of graduates from my high school get accepted to CU Boulder with not nearly what you have, probably not even half of what you have haha. That's just my input.
