Chances at Connecticut College? (please!)

Hey, everyone! I am a senior at high-school in New Jersey. I'm a white female and I go to a fairly large public high school. These are my stats:

General Stats:
-UW GPA 3.39 (out of 4)
-W GPA 3.895 (out of 4)
-I'm in the top 15% of my class (404 students in my grade)
-Highest ACT composite score is 25 (26 writing, 29 math, 23 reading, 24 science)
-I took the SATs but I am not sending them.
-Took the Math II subject test -640

I have taken all honors or AP classes throughout my college career(some AP classes I am currently taking because my school only allows their students to take APs starting at their junior year). These are:
Honors World History
Honors World Lit
Honors US Lit
Honors US History 1
Honors Chemistry
Honors Biology
Honors Physics
Honors Geometry
Honors Alg.2 (took Alg. 1 in middleschool)
Honors Pre-Calc
Honors French 3
Honors French 4
AP US History
AP Lang and Comp (received a 4 on the AP Test)
AP Calc AB
AP Psychology
AP Micro/Macro Econ
AP Lit and Comp
AP Statistics

Extra Curricular's since my Freshman Year:
JV Spring Track and Field-2 years
Key Club
Bottlecappers(We visit elementary and middle schools to talk to students about drug and alcohol safety)-3 years
Model UN- 2 years
Newspaper(I am an editor)-2 years
Yearbook- 2 years
Relay for Life- Team leader and participant since I was about 12 years old
Freshman and Sophomore Council- 2 years
I was also nominated for Girls State in my Junior year.
Camp counselor at a summer camp at a local nature conservancy for elementary school student(1 summer)
Volunteer at my church for several events including Family Promise(This is when my church houses homeless families for a week at a time), Rummage Sales(This is a sale to help raise money for missions in our church) and Vacation Bible School(a 1 week camp in the summer).
Several marking periods on honor roll if that matters lol

I really want to know if I could get it because I am really in love with Conn. I will be applying Regular Decision. Thanks a lot!

You have good ECs and a rigorous schedule. What's killing you is your UW GPA and ACTs Based off some quick research, Conn College is test optional so you don't have to send your ACTs/SATs but your GPA is low as well. It's definitely a reach.

Actually I just checked this and for some reason I wrote the wrong UW GPA. It is actually 3.51. I don't know if that helps but it is definitely better than 3.39 lol. but thank you!
