Hi! I’m currently a sophomore in high school and I know I still have a bit of time until college, but I’m getting really paranoid. Can students with average grades get into Colgate?
Here’s a breakdown, by the end of high school, I’ll have:
Freshman year: 4 honors, 1 regular (93 overall average) *unimportant electives
Sophomore year: 2 honors, 2 regular and 1 AP (they forced me to drop into an regular earth science class because they didn’t offer honors) *unimportant electives
Junior Year: 2 honors, 1 regular, 2 APs *electives of college marketing, college accounting & business management
Senior year: 1 honors and 4 APs (taking 2 math courses: Precalc honors and AP stats) *electives of contemporary business SCALE class, DECA
*I always get around a 92-94 overall average (3.9-4.0?)
EC:
Red Cross (secretary, sophomore year) (President senior year)
English Honor Society (secretary senior year)
Science Honor Society
Math Honor Society
Global Honor Society
Business Honor Society
DECA (qualified to states)
Key Club
(probably will have more board positions)
My dream school is Colgate University, I WILL BE APPLYING EARLY DECISION
I’m Asian and from New York.
I’m aiming to get a 29-31 on the ACT, but who knows what could happen. I know I can get pretty good recommendations and can write a decent essay.
I feel like my class rigor is average (especially having those regular classes) so do I even have a chance at getting accepted into Colgate?
