I’ve applied to Colgate RD 2024. It’s probably a little late for this thread, but I’m about to explode from anxiety. Chance me?
My stats:
SAT: 1550
SAT Subject Tests,
Math 2: 800
Physics: 770
Chemistry: 770
High school grades ~ 92% (I’m an international student, we don’t have GPA.)
Essays: not my best, I was rushing. I’d say they’re above average, just because they were very specific to Colgate.
Extracurriculars:
Mostly MUN (Model United Nations), debate, and quizzing. Awarded Best Debater at my school two years in a row. Won a bunch of prizes at local and State-level MUN conferences (nothing too big), and a couple at three or four science and math quizzes and Olympiads.
I play tennis outside of school, and basketball at school. I was a prefect at my school, and but that really doesn’t mean anything.
There isn’t anything really significant I can add, but I am more of a self learner, and my application stressed how I’d spent a lot of time exploring subjects in depth on my own, specifically math (my intended major).
My recommendation letters are pretty good. I’d say 8/10.
Keep in mind I’m an international student applying for financial aid. I CANNOT afford Colgate.
Any input is appreciated!
