About to have some poetry published. Also, working on some research regarding baseball statistics. While I could possibly be a recruited athlete, I do not wish to play baseball in college so please do not take that into factor.</p>

<p>A 3.4 with no APs seriously damages your chances, but every applicant is different and maybe Colgate will see something in ur essays</p>

<p>if u are in love with Gate, id apply...if its like...w/e, then i wouldnt</p>

<p>(i did ED)</p>

<p>Also,the Admissions Officers' who read your application will know your school and be able to see if you've challenged yourself - and succeeded - at your school; some high schools don't offer APs, and that's something that the application readers know.</p>

<p>Also, just like JBou said; if you love Colgate, APPLY! Clearly you only have a chance if you apply, and it's about making your case for why you're a fit for Colgate (and if you love it, there's probably a reason why/a good fit).</p>

<p>You will be admitted to Colgate. Arkansas, 32 ACT, class of 13 students. I'll bet that you even get a free trip out of this. 100% in!</p>

<p>I don't think Colgate even has a varsity baseball team any more. I think you would be a unique enough candidate that you would probably get in.</p>

6

<p>nope, no baseball now.</p>

<p>yeah, they like to collect the states, and I promise Arkansas applicants are not abundant. Also, you're clearly pretty bright if you got a 32 ACT. Class of thriteen, though? That's hilarious.</p>
