Chances at Colgate? (Will Chance Back)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What do you think my chances at Colgate would be? I have ~3.7 GPA on a 4.0 scale, ~4.3 with weights, a 1320 Math + CR on my first shot (730 CR, 590 M), and a 2010 Total (690 W). Will probably increase to around 1370 Math + CR (730 CR, 640 M) with a total of ~2070 (700 W). By the end of highschool I will have taken 4 APs and almost all Honors (essentially the hardest classes offered with the exception of math where I am in honors but not AP). I have 8 clubs and activities, a few of which with leadership positions and all of which I've been involved with since freshmen year. I am a peer mentor and peer mediator, have done service hours, volunteer with children at the Little League and Boys and Girls Club, and am interning for the head judge in my county. I am taking the Lit and US History subject tests in June and will probably score in the mid 700s in both. I am a middle class white male. </p>

<p>I would like to major in English. I am a skilled writer (editor on the paper amongst other things), show a sincere interest in the school, and would be able to right a fairly impressive essay. </p>

<p>What are my chances Regular Decision?</p>

<p>Early?</p>

<p>I will chance back</p>

<p>are you a junior? if so, take the SAT again if you can and try to take AP’s. Also, it’s great that you’re in so many clubs/activities, but colleges want to make sure that there are like 2 or 3 of them that you’re really into and have spent the most time on. They don’t want people who try to do everything just so they can put it down on their application. Anyways, I think you have a GREAT chance of getting in, even more so with ED.</p>

<p>730 CR is definitely good for Colgate - I had a 740 CR and 750 M and they gave me a huge scholarship, so if you bring up your math score even into the mid-to-high 600’s, you should have a really good shot, especially ED</p>
