I think that your chances are VERY good; nothing is 100% guaranteed, but I think you have a good shot at Colby-- raising those SATs couldn’t hurt, and, most likely, will help (lol, that was obvious, sorry). My resume went like so:

740 V
680M
650Writing
(this was the old SAT plus an SATII Writing)

AP US 4
AP World 3
AP Bio 4 (though this wasn’t known when I applied)

lots of EC’s posted somewhere on these forums, lol, but too tried to type them all

grades were 94.7 weighted
public school in Central/Upstate NY

and I am a Freshman there :-P. I absolutely LOVE Colby too (just as a side note), and COOT is amazing!

Just make sure your essay/s is/are good and that you show thorough and sincere interest in them… that is only if it’s truly sincere, lol. My “supplemental” question “What draws you to Colby?” was answered in a 500 word essay/story of my overnight visit to Colby and how much I loved everything.
