<p>Can I apply early as an international student with a 1980 SAT 1(580 reading, 690 math, 710 writing) and 108 TOEFL and a 9.3(out of 10) overall grade for the first 3 years of high school? I also have a pretty interesting resume...
I just took my math2 test and I am currently waiting for my results. In december I will take physics and the ACT and hopefully will gain better grades.</p>
<p>so should I even apply? I can pay about half of the school tuition.</p>
<p>Your SAT scores are low for Colgate standards. But they like to have international students, especially if you can pay. So you should definitely apply.</p>
<p>If the mid 50% SAT range is 1250-1430, then approximately every 10 point SAT increase would be ~ 3.6% increase in %ile ((1430-1250)/50%). So, a 1270 SAT would be in ~ 32.2%ile among enrolled Colgate students. It's not exact, but it's not going to be off by very much.</p>
