<p>I'm currently a high school senior and am absolutely fretting about my Colgate decision since it's my top choice. I'm apply regular decision as an international student from Singapore and just wanted to get a feel for my chances. My credentials are below.</p>

<p>-3.4 UW, 4.1 WGPA
-I had gone through a phase in my life where I had to deal with depression, and it shows in my grades during the first semester of my sophomore year, but after that, there was a huge upward trend in my GPA.
-1900 SAT, 1290 M/CR
-University of Maryland Young Scholar in Biopharmaceuticals
-Varsity Rower (winning 1st place at the Head of the Anacostia)
-Tons of community service
-Eagle Scout, as well as have participated in scouts since the 1st grade
-Member of the Order of the Arrow
-USTA tennis tournament competitor
-I have taken 7 AP courses in Biology, Comp Gov't, NSL, Chemistry, Statistics, and psychology
-AP Scholar
-Regular volunteer for a community center helping people with developmental disabilities

<p>I think that's pretty much the most important stuff, I just wanted to give a very general idea about what I've done such as not to waste any of your time. I just want to know if I stand a good chance, because I realize that the pool of applicants at Colgate is extremely competitive. </p>

<p>Thank you very much for your input.</p>

<p>Your ECs are great and the fact that you’re an international student doesn’t hurt. You have very impressive awards, but to be honest, your SAT is a little on the low end for Colgate. Although, they will probably be able to look past that because of all the other things you are involved in. I think you have a pretty good chance - not 100% guaranteed - but you seem like a good fit.</p>
