<p>You appear to have a solid chance at Colgate provided your essays and recommendations match to quality of your profile. I see that you are a swimmer and would strongly suggest that you make contact with the coach to ensure that you get his views on the process too. I am sure you will benefit from the experience; he and his staff are terrific. </p>

<p>Best of luck! ED is a smart move and enhances your chances given that most student athletes are selected ED.</p>
