Colgate University?!?!?!? - Not the toothpaste!!

<p>Hi, I'm a senior student at a highly academic private school in Canada. 99% of our graduates move onto 4 year programs. Here are my credentials</p>

<p>SAT- 1810
CR- 590
Math- 570
Writing - 650</p>

<p>(yes i know they are reaalllly low)</p>

<p>I have been told that Canadian students are not required to score as high on the SAT's as American students. For example I believe Colgate's average SAT scores for Americans is around 1300-1400, whereas they only require 11-1200 from Canadians. Any truth to this?</p>
