I think you will most likely get into Wake, Bing, Loyola and Fordham. Also, good chances at BC. The others will be tougher.

Strong candidate for all of your listed schools. In at Colgate ( you fit the profile), in at SUNY Bing., Loyola, Fordham, Wake Forest, and likely at Boston College and Cornell. Above average chances at William & Mary out-of-state, as well as at Virginia.
