<p>Did I miss your overall GPA in your remarks? Colgate will look at your overall academic record, and they will want to see progress. On both scores, you may be fine. </p>

<p>Your extracurriculars look good, but why so many instead of going deeply into a few things? I almost think colleges may discount long lists of activities since there are only 24 hours in the day and they would prefer most applicants be committed to a few things they do well instead of flitting around among too many of them. They may not see you that way, of course, and you do repeat a few from year to year. </p>

<p>Your name identifies Wesleyan as your choice, your comments say Vassar is your first choice, but you also want Colgate. Are your sure you’ve got a clear idea which is your favorite? For most students, it’s probably best not to decide ahead of time, but to wait to see who accepts them - then decide which of those is the favorite.</p>
