<p>SAT- 1st attempt: CR 680 W 660 M 720
2nd attempt: CR 730 W 710 M 740</p>

<p>SAT II- Literature 720, Math I 720</p>

<p>Got 92% in ICSE (Grade 10), been averaging around 75-80% in grade 11 and 12.</p>

<p>ECs- Been quizzing as a member of school team since grade 8, have won a number of national and state-level competitions.
Was a delegate at school's annual MUN, won a high commendation
Member of school's Colalife chapter
Done street plays since grade 9 with friends on the problems in Indian society today. This is done on a purely amateur basis without props.</p>

<p>Additional Circumstances- I switched late from Science to Commerce in grade 11, due to which I was exempted from taking the grade 11 first terminal examinations. My final terminal marks were taken as my year's cumulative.
I had dengue during my grade 12 first term exams as well as during the SAT II exams (November 2010)
My essay is good, although I don't think it'll stand out. Teacher recs will be good, focusing on the fact that I've caught up with the class despite switching late and counselor rec should be excellent.
Oh and I'm applying for aid. If you haven't already figured it out, I'm an Indian student.
Chance me please!!!!!
Thanks in advance</p>

<p>You have very good scores. Your being an Indian student will be very appealing to Colgate, I imagine. But, Colgate also receives many applications from overseas and admits only a small percentage of them – as it does with its other applicants which it admits at around 30%. Your needing financial aid will make it a “little” harder to get admitted because Colgate is not need blind. It does not have unlimited amounts of financial aid. But, you cannot know if you would be admitted to Colgate unless you apply to Colgate, and I think you have a very strong academic record and a good chance of being admitted. Good luck!</p>
