Went to the island school for a semester (all A-) and have a rec from there
Went to a camp right by colby which I what I wrote my essay about
Yearbook editor
Student garden coordinator
1st place medals at local flower show
Have a job at a local pizza place
4 years on varsity crew
won city champs crew
won scholastic nationals crew
student gov environmental head
Let me know if I should post more info!!
oh!!! act 29 but 31 superscored
Looks like great chances!! I also applied ED and you look better qualified…I also did a semester school and hope that will help me out. Only a few more days until decisions
thanks!! Im so nervous waiting to hear back
Honestly it seems you have a v good chance of getting ED…
1.You have shown keen demonstrated interest
2.V commendable gpa ( although you mention honors classes, any AP?)
3. You are an accomplished athlete.
4. Various EC’s with yearbook and flower/gardening interest & awards…
Guessing you realize these v noteworthy attributes about your app, but you remain anxious because your SAT scores may not reflect that…How were they and perhaps you chose to go optional ?..eventhough the ACT 31 is a more than adequate score, you may not have sent them in as Colby’s avg was 33 last year…
Overall, I think that if admissions doesn’t take a predisposed wary view of an app. without scores, an app. such as yours would be seriously considered for ED.
Colby is a great school. I visited their campus in summer and loved it. You seem to have a good chance. Good luck.
