<p>to be EXTREMELY clear: Colgate does NOT have a pre-professional major like business. People who are interested in business tend go into economics.</p>

<p>Any adcom, not just Colgate, are really going to raise eyebrows over your declining GPA.</p>

3

<p>Your scores (GPA, SAT & AP) are not good. Since your academic ability is arguably the most important part of the application, I think you should consider safer schools. Of course, don’t cross Colgate off your list yet, you might have a small chance.</p>

4

<p>Not to be mean but… what happened with those AP scores? Sometimes it might just be better to take 2 APs a year to get 4+s. You may be pushing yourself past your capabilities</p>

<p>girl, you’re going to get wrecked…</p>

6

<p>i would add a few other schools to your list, sorry…</p>
