<p>white male. resident of NY. intended major: science of some sort. I applied ED2
SAT -- 1370 math-730, C.R.-640
SAT2 -- physics-720, math2-730, US History-640
AP -- World history-4, US History-3</p>
<p>From what I've seen on these polls, most of the high schools score GPA on a 4.0 scale. However I my school does it on a 100.0 scale. </p>
<p>I'm currently valedictorian of my class with a weighted 100.01 (last time I checked?) average.</p>
<p>I've always taken the most rigorous of the courses offered at my school. My senior year has been by far the hardest. My academic classes and current grades are:
-AP Gov't and Politics (A)
-College Calculus/AP Calculus (A)
-Psychology (A)
-VHS (online class) Anatomy & Physiology (A)
-College Bio 101 and 102 (A)
-College English 101 and 102 (B+)
-Economics (second semester)
(any of the college classes are taken through the local community college for credits)</p>
<p>I'm also up for the one of the regents scholarships at my school for having the best scores on the NYS regents exams.</p>
<p>Recommendations-- One extremely well done, one average, and one I didn't see.</p>

<p>I don't know if it means anything and I might get bashed for this, but I ask that you please be respectful. The supplemental essay was about diversity and different viewpoints and I talked about being gay. Colgate's efforts to promote harmony between the LGBT community and straight community was one of the things I really liked about Colgate. I mentioned specific programs they offer (Big Gay Weekend, weekly dinners, etc.) I have no idea if this hurts, helps, or doesn't even affect my admission, but I figured I'd put it in here. </p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for their input. =D</p>
