<p>I did, I'm a sophomore transfer. He commented that he was glad to see that Colgate felt like home to me and hoped that the feeling will continue as a graduate... I wanted to cry and to scream at him because he missed that last year when he chose to deny me!</p>
<p>Tickle, what do you think made the difference? Why do you think you were denied the first time around and then accepted the second time? What was better? What did you do to make the difference?</p>

<p>Gosh. That is the question that my parents have been asking themselves. What happened this time that they decided to accept me for sophomore transfer? My dad thinks I was very close to getting admitted. I said, probably wait-listed. </p>
<p>I was denied the first time because I "had too many Bs" (quoted by my old adcom). This time, I really took advantage of what my current college had to offer in addition to a rising trend since my junior year from 2.9 to 3.1. to 3.4. in my first semester of college. I don't think they looked at my SATs since my transcript was far stronger and more competitive. Colgate saw that I could do tough work and wasn't someone who stumbles over things and they know the reputation of my current college.</p>
<p>Also, I was given the opportunity to tell them WHY I love/want to go to Colgate. Freshmen admissions don't have that question. </p>
<p>I think I was also more proactive... by contacting a prof who would teach me Russian in the fall and we share similiar literary interests.</p>
