<p>Hi, I'm a senior at a top public high school (everyone on this board says this but my school is actually ranked one of the top five open admissions - so non-magnet - high schools in the country) and I want to apply ED to Colgate University. I'm white and Jewish from the Northeast, so that's not much help.</p>
<p>Testing:
ACT: 33</p>
<p>GPA:
Weighted: 3.93
Unweighed: 3.7-ish</p>
<p>This is below Colgate's average, but I have a few things I need to note about this:
1) Instead of +.5 and +1, Honor and AP classes are weighted +.334 and +.667
2)I have a massive upward trend in my GPA.
Freshman Year: 3.00
Sophomore Year:3.76
Junior Year: 4.10
Senior First Quarter: 4.11</p>
<p>I've taken 5 AP courses (1 last year, 4 this year)
AP Stat
AP Lit
AP Psych
AP Euro
AP Gov</p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
-Several years as Summer Camp Counselor
-Spent week this summer volunteering at a summer camp-like program for orphans (while battling a 102 fever :/ )
-Vice President of a club
-Winter/Spring track
-Lots of time working with mentally retarded children/teens (don't know the number of hours)</p>
<p>Awards:
National Merit Commended Scholar
Essays published in school literary magazine</p>
<p>I left out an award and a few extracurriculars, as well as details, because they give away where I live, but they're nothing extraordinary.</p>
<p>Edit: Might as well add my other schools...
EDII: Hamilton
