<p>Hey guys I'm sort of stressing out about applications and just choosing a college in general so I need some help. I'm not quite sure what my chances are for the colleges I'm interested in. My top two choices are Northeastern University and Colgate University. I realize these two are basically polar opposites but for some reason I just fell in love with both of them. I applied EA for Northeastern and I come from a really small town so the idea of living in Boston is exciting. However, I recently visited Colgate and it's breathtakingly beautiful and I got a great vibe from the campus. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Rank: 3/72 (might be salutatorian by the end of December)</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0..lots of college classes from a nearby community college & I'm in a pretty rigorous medical program for half of the school day</p>
<p>SAT(downfall): 1960 M:630 CR:670 W:660 --I'm debating whether or not I should retake this next weekend (try to get in with the standby registration)</p>
<p>ECS: 10 seasons of varsity cheerleading, lots of band-related things, Vice President of Music Club, Secretary of Student Council, Secretary of Yearbook Club, help coach a cheerleading team (volunteer work)</p>
<p>Recs: should be pretty good</p>
<p>Essays: Common App essays are great, but I have no idea what to write about for the Colgate supplement </p>
<p>In addition to my chances, I'd also be curious to hear some opinions on both Northeastern and Colgate. I'm sorry that I just practically wrote a novel, but if anyone can give their opinions I'll be extremely appreciative! Thanks so much :)</p>
