<p>Hi! I'm applying ED I to Colgate because it is my top choice, but I feel like I'm on the 'bubble." Both my SAT scores and GPA are kind of average for Gate admission-- nothing spectacular-- so I feel like my admission status could really go either way (But I'm hoping ED helps). I don't have a hook and I am applying for financial aid, but I won't need a lot. That being said, please chance me and be honest! Thanks! </p>
