<p>Essay is gonna be really good</p>
<p>Thanks !</p>
<p>Right now it’s a low target. Your ec’s are nice and your sat ii scores rock. Try to improve your sat by about 50 points or more if possible and you’ll have a very solid shot. Chance me back please?</p>
<p>Sure! Also how much would my chances improve if i did ED</p>
<p>full-pay = in
non-full-pay = 50/50 lol</p>
<p>Phongtheha,</p>
<p>Wrong you are on your “lol”.</p>
<p>About non-full pays, Colgate is generous with domestic applicants and relative to international applicants rather generous too. Full need is satisfied for qualified domestic applicants. The key, of course, is how my claim measures up against what Colgate’s financial aid office offers this year, if that’s a factor in the case of an applicant.</p>
<p>Anyway, admits are supplied with that information if/when their offers are mailed to them. Further, the 2 functions are entirely separate.</p>
<p>By the way, I still don’t understand why anyone bothers with this “chance me” exercise. No one from the Colgate financial aid or admissions offices is going to give responses, just to be clear. And the objective admissions criteria from the Class of 2018 are readily available at colgate.edu for comparative purposes.</p>
<p>Good luck, Kjacisin, with you application and your essays. As you may know, Colgate, and as I am told, emphasizes the quality of your secondary school and your essays in their determinations. So the essay, under your control, is very important. </p>
