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: All honors, except for common core algebra (overall 93 average)
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)
-vice president (junior year)
-president (senior year)
DECA
-qualified to states
-secretary (junior year)
English Honor Society
-secretary senior year
Science Honor Society
Math Honor Society
Global Honor Society
Business Honor Society
Key Club
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?
