Do I stand a chance with Colgate?

<p>My sat score is 1810 (620 CR, 630 M, 560W).
I live in Bosnia and i don't have so many options with ec-s, but my grades are pretty good. I contacted Colgate, and they said "PLEASE APPLY";
but I'm not sure whether I had mentioned fin aid (which I would need, naturally). I was also thinking of applying to Hawaii (Manoa) and Bryant (RI). With fin aid, again. Any chances?</p>

<p>can't tell with those stats...ur SAT score is a bit low for my liking...describe in detail about ur courses and grades...</p>

<p>Well,the best thing to do is...(only if u are NOT satisfied with the result..)..take a retest...........well,it would hav been better if it were 2000+(sorry,I m not discouraging......)...as ur ECs are limited,the strong chance maker is your stats.........:)..........best of luck....n,btw,provide some details of ur stats,if u dont mind......;)...</p>

<p>Well, course curriculum in Bosnia is somewhat limited. We have 13 to 15 compulsory classes, the grades are on 1 to 5 scale (with 5 as the best) and my average grades were 4.53 as a freshman, 4.57 as a sophomore and 4.63 as a junior. My ec activities are learning English, of course, water polo and basketball, but nothing serious or impressive. I don't know whether the admission committee will even consider my aplication?</p>

<p>obi 1....if u don't believe in yourself..no one else will take the trouble of doing that for u...so have faith in urself and be confident...no one is born 'super' applicant...</p>

<p>I agree with Shail619..........u must b confident n b cool in ur app.....(i.e.,b yourself....;)...)....well,ur stats r good......if u can do anything to improve ur EC record then do so immediately...</p>

<p>yeah....u never know in college application.. .tons weird things happen every year....</p>

<p>^............lol....indeed...</p>

<p>for instance last year in harvard my fren with 1910 sat got in and another one with 2300+ sat score didn't ...although legacy had a part to play....but still sounds so strange...doesn't it??</p>

<p>Well,thats wat it is.......its ur OVERALL thingy that holds the importance,not stats....</p>

<p>but u need to get 'overally' right...and i mean it... to get into ivies with 1900 SAT....</p>

<p>Well,thats wat I was sayin.....</p>

<p>yeah.....issac...i am getting more and more hopeful about vassar now....</p>
