<p>Looks solid everywhere. What do you mean by: Novice Crew Grade 9?</p>

3

<p>It’s basically freshman crew. Beginning year of crew freshman year</p>

<p>For Colgate:
The average SAT for Colgate is ~ 1380/1600, so see if you can up your SAT score a bit.</p>

<p>EC look okay. You also listed Writing twice, but Im assuming one of them is Crit Reading.</p>

<p>Classes look good as well. If you can up the SAT ~50-100 points, it would look like a match / high match.</p>

<p>For Laf:</p>

<p>GPA looks just around a match. EC’s again look decent. SAT is (again) a tad low, but not hindering (see if you can raise it 50-100 points, for their average). I’d say match/high match as well :)</p>

<p>For VSB : no idea what school VSB is, and Google failed me, so apologies.</p>

5

<p>its no problem, its Villanova School of Business
and the 580 was for CR, sorry about that.</p>

6

<p>You have a good shot at all, especially for business or engineering.</p>

7

<p>Will you require financial aid? I ask because while Villanova and Lafayette are need blind (for US citizens), Colgate is not. If you are looking for financial aid Colgate might be a little tougher (although it already is if you judge purely by avaerage “stats”). However, if you are admitted Colgate, like Lafayette, meets (the college’s definition of) full need. Villanova does not meet 100% of need but in my experience has been very generous with financial aid.</p>
