thanx</p>
<p>i think you wont have any trouble getting in... ;)</p>
<p>i really hope u r right ena</p>
<p>your stats look good, but they arent need blind for foreign applicants....</p>
<p>they are not poor either.</p>
<p>I agree with ena. I think you won't have any troubles.</p>
<p>Best of luck^^</p>
<p>Everything looks good, but admission into these colleges are highly unpredictable especially to those who are applying for huge amount of aid. I think colgate offers about 200 applicants, either internationals or national, with full comprehensive aid. This may look seem like good news for ya. But you have to keep in mind that, your competition is not with US applicants but with applicants from your own country (Nepal). As you might know, although there were highly qualified students from Nepal with similar stats like yours for the class of 2008, only two were admitted. (and both didnt ultimately attend colgate. one of them I think happens to be your own schoolmate who went to MIT). Among the rejected pile were the students from MIS who had managed to get into colleges like Lafayette, Carleton etc. </p>
<p>Because there is no doubt that there would be tons of applicants from Nepal with similar stats and grade like yours, you must make your application very distinct from the rest which many prefer to call a "hook". If you havent submitted your application to colgate and other colleges, you might wanna give little bit of introspection on what makes you quite different from others- your classmates, and highlight it on your essay. So your essay, which I think is the most important part of application, might need lot of representation of those uniqueness. If you think your essay makes you stand out from the rest, then there is no doubt that you will not only get into colgate but also.....And u know that applicants who got into colleges like colgate last year from Nepal had lots of options.</p>
<p>thats true, its a wealthy school, but i bet in 10 years it wont be nearly as wealthy as it is today for a number of reasons</p>
