*I have demonstrated a lot of interest by emailing the admissions office. They frequently email me and send me brochures and whatnot (though they probably do to a lot of people)
I don’t know what my major will be, but right now, I’m leaning towards journalism or something in the English field. I WILL BE APPLYING EARLY DECISION!
The 2 I got in AP World makes me really nervous. I’m scared if I don’t do good on my other APs. I emailed Colgate regarding how important these scores are in the admissions process and they said they are mainly concerned about the actual grade we get in the class.
So do I even stand a chance for Colgate University?
