Would my profile be competitive for Colgate University?Answered
Hello,
I am an international student (from Colombia) and was wondering if my stats might be competitive enough to make Colgate a Target school.
GPA 3.9
TOEFL 114
IB Predicted 40
6 IB Classes
2 College courses
2 Awards at International Olympiads
1st Place Winner in a Regional STEM Competition
Scholarship Winner for a Summer Camp in China
As for my extracurriculars, I have participated in my school's orchestra (lead cello section), a municipal orchestra (third place guitar), as well as Mandarin and German classes outside of school, and various community service projects.
Additionally, would you consider any Safety schools? Any that have majors in astronomy, astrophysics or physics.
Thank you for your help.

You got 3.9 GPA, good amount of classes, these alone can bring you to the school's level, but holy, your EC is insanely good. You won 2 awards and 1st place with even more EC, that is very very good, I believe that you can set colgate as target school, but if you can, you should also take the SAT or ACT, good ACT and SAT scores will boost you a lot, if you do bad (which I doubt because your academics are so good), then you can just apply test optional.
Good luck!
