<p>bummppp....</p>

<p>I think your chances are very good. Why don't you want to do track in college? I would think that you could get a scholarship with your experience. My D did ED2 last year and is on the track team. she absolutely loves Colgate. (She is not a scholarship student - this will give her an out if it gets too much for her. But she loves the team and the coaches).</p>

<p>well my PRs are just a bit high to get recruited by a D1 team, so i doubt my running would help me get into the school via recruited athlete...but if i get in, i ll definitly consider it</p>

<p>anybody else have an opinion on whether i can get in or not?</p>

<p>Why not ED1?</p>

<p>trying to get my test scores and gpa higher</p>

<p>Having a higher ACT will better your chances, but your current ACT score is just fine, as it is within the Colgate median ACT range.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a fairly good shot at getting in.</p>
