<p>I applied for Regular Decision a month ago, was wondering if I could have some opinions on if I will get in or not. I like the school a lot. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.51/4.00
SAT: 1860
ACT Composite: 30 (E-32, M-30, R-26, S-30)</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: AP Psychology, AP Statistics, H Anatomy and Physiology, H British Lit, H College Writing (rest are required classes)
Past years are a blend of Honors and CP classes, never received anything less than a B- in my entire school career.
I've volunteered tremendously for past 4 years at a local shelter
Good work ethic: steady employee of over 2 years, employee of the month, employee of the year
Strong artistic background: 4 years of drawing classes, 2 of photography, many art awards</p>

<p>I live in New Jersey, 3 hours from the school, and will require financial aid. I am majoring in Neuroscience and Psychology.</p>

<p>Looking at other profiles, I'm feeling pretty lame with my information... But I would love to know if the school considers more than incredibly powerful academics, because I know my essay and recommendations show my really great qualities and individuality.</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>Well, what was your SAT (CR+M)? Otherwise you’re at the 25th percentile for ACT and the GPA is a bit on the low side. If you have strong essays I would say your a good candidate for the school.</p>

<p>Beware that Colgate likes students who can pay.</p>

<p>hmm, sat scores are not that good but if you have incredible extra curriculars, that should help balance it. I think it would be 50-50 for you.</p>
