<p>i've heard that almost all Colgate students went to prep schools or private schools for high school?</p>
<p>are there any public school kids like me out there?</p>
<p>yeh i went to a public school</p>
<p>Public school all the way</p>
<p>no way. It's half and half.</p>
<p>Yeah sorry, I just meant for me. I've been in Public schools my whole life.</p>
<p>i'm public school too</p>
<p>68% public, 32% private - Class of 2010, according to the Colgate website. 2009 was just about the same.</p>
<p>Class of 2009 was 70% public, 30% private.</p>
<p>That was admitted students, what's the % on campus of students who end up enrolling?</p>
<p>Haven't seen that stat, but suspect the ratio is pretty much the same. Another question for the admissions office!</p>
<p>There aren't stats for that i don't think but i would say it is about half and half. Although i would take caution, in that the majority of Public schools are amoung the best in thier state or sometimes country. Many kids went to small very good public schools.</p>
<p>Why would the % be much different than the 70% public/ 30% private stats of accepted students published on the college website?</p>
<p>I do believe that there are probably more public school kids here but i think fewer come than got in...it is just how it works out.</p>
<p>I was visiting yesterday and Stuyvesant kids were there. They all got T-Shirts! I'm an admitted student, and I just got a cruddy water bottle :-P</p>

<p>The majority of h/s of Colgates enrolled class are not from the best in the country or state. Sure, some are, but not a <em>vast majority</em> Colgates accepts a vast number of students from every type of h/s imaginable.</p>
<p>Why would you discourage some poor jr looking at, or seriously considering, Colgate b/c they might believe their chances of admission are greatly diminished ( in your opinion) b/s they didnt attend one of the best h/s in the country </p>
<p>And who decides what h/s is the best? Newsweek? The NW rankings are totally flawed. Newsweek doesnt include magnet schools e.g. Stvy or Bostons Latin school. I 'd love to see the criterion you used for your assertion</p>

<p>The t-shirts were ugly oui? At least you got a cool water bottle :)</p>
<p>Well if I had gone during an April visit day for admitted students then i would have received a cool T-Shirt and other goodies. I did get an ice cream sandwich though, it was like 540 calories.
A heart attack on a proverbial bun, indeed.</p>
