<p>Most definitely apply; from my personal experience, Colgate really looks at the whole applicant, they are not a "just the numbers" sort of place, although since this is an ACADEMIC institution, no question they do matter. I just think that the Admission Officers realize that that's a score you got on one day of your life; your grades and teacher comments tell a much more thorough story of you.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>perhaps try the ACT; 610 per category is pushing 20th or so percentile...</p>
