The Fiske Guide To Colleges 2020 edition concluding remarks about Colgate University from a senior student:
“…Colgate has embraced its identity as different from other liberal arts colleges in that we are not a crunchy granola hippie school and we are not a socially progressive bastion of forward thinking. Colgate is what it is: a hidden gem in the Chenango Valley.”

Since Colgate Applications were up 100%, that is an especially great accomplishment!

yes that number of apps was crazy. I think it was 17000 apps total. They took 324 out of 530 applicants in ED so that leaves about 400 spots left. Who knows how many they accepted to yield 400 kids but, even if it’s four times that at 1600, it makes RD acceptance rate less that 10%. What a crazy year.

For an exact figure on which to base estimates, note that Colgate accepted 2345 applicants last year. Its overall acceptance rate for domestic applicants last year was 33%.

@merc81 ok. If they accepted the same number this year then it’s more like 12% acceptance rate in RD. Just to be clear, I don’t care about acceptance rates but I was just noting this for anyone who reads this post in the future.

Only 39% receive financial aid. Low merit distribution but also high income enrollment?
Wall Street recruits at Colgate FWIW. Alums I met in NYC were very loyal.

Oh yeah, I’m really glad that your daughter got into the excellent Colgate, a thought that has nothing to do with its acceptance rate.
Delurking to say: Congratulations to homerdaughter! 
What a wonderful start to the week. Colgate seems like such a special place; friends who attended still reminisce fondly about their years there. Go 'Gate!

Colgate is beautiful! Definitely a bit remote (which was never a problem for our family.) Also more 8n the orbit of NYC than any others on your list, so somewhat different social vibe. Great option to have!
