<p>================================================== ===</p>
<p>ALSO… i’m currently VERY TORN between ed 1 at COLGATE or COLBY?? and i’m freaking out because of the nearing deadline for ED1!! i have a relation who attends Colgate… and I’ve heard they value that quite a bit. What concerns me at Colby is what seems to be their lack of bio/premed majors. Does anybody know much about the science curriculum/med school acceptance rate at Colgate? I do know that Colgate has built a BEAUTIFUL new science center and has a lot of money they’re putting toward science. If anybody has any opinions regarding the two schools I would really appreciate it!! </p>
<p>THANKS SO MUCH!!</p>
