Any other colleges you think it would be good for me to look at.

Your ECs are awesome, especially if you're recruitable for swimming (if not, that plus your science involvement is stellar). While your SATs and GPA are a little low (by CC standards, of course), I think a personable essay combined with your ECs could combat that.

If you're interested in LACs, you may want to look into Davidson college. They have good merit scholarships, a strong science program, and love the well-rounded applicant. I would consider that a match for you.
