<p>Tufts, NYU, Bucknell, and I think I'm forgetting one that I meant to say here... Emory... I think... might give you trouble... otherwise I'm pretty sure you're doing well.</p>
<p>Are you a ranked tennis player?</p>
<p>Lehighs definetely tougher to get into than bucknell, however I think both are matches for you </p>
<p>your going to get into a bunch of places</p>
<p>"I think your class rank and number of APs is your weak point for the schools listed. As others have said, 5+ APs is the "norm" for most of these schools, and a class rank in the top 10% would be better."</p>
<p>My sophomore year I took AP US History I, but my high school really did not offer many AP classes until senior year. I could have taken AP Chem my junior year but I was told that colleges might like to see a physics course, and in order to take an AP science course, I would have had to take the honors class as a prerequisite. I did take (H) biology, (H) chemistry, and (H) Physics in my frosh, soph, and junior years, and my total number of AP/Honors courses is 11, I believe. AP courses are also weighted the same as honors courses in my school, but I'm not sure if that justifies anything. As for my low class rank (stupid!!) I screwed up my sophomor year, but have been bringing it up dramatically since. </p>
<p>Thanks for the responses and anymore responses would be appreciated! :)</p>

<p>ahhh posted it twice!!</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>Honors and APs may be weighted the same for your "weighted-GPA", but they are not the same thing to the admission's office. AP classes are considered "college level"....honors are not. Colgate/Emory/Lehigh/Tufts/Haverford/Bucknell....you'll be competing against "average" applicants with more APs for sure.</p>
<p>Is Hamilton College roughly equal to Colgate in quality as a LAC? If not what would be its cohort LAC schools? Haverford? Carlton?</p>
<p>I think its ******** that my school has to cater to all the low lifes n morons but theres nothing I can do about that</p>
<p>umm colgate n hamilton are very similar and only like 10 minutes away from each other..hamilton is smaller though. other similar schools include colby, washington and lee, harvey mudd, grinnel, bryn mawr</p>
<p>I think Colgate is more famous than Hamiltom, though?</p>
<p>I think that Carleton and Haverford are considered to be a little better than Hamilton academically.</p>
<p>colgate might be a lil more famous n i agree that haverford n carleton r more selective schools</p>
<p>IMHO, Colgate is on a selective par with Carleton & Haverford but the student bodies couldn't be more different, probably due to the enrollment sizes as well as the difference between D-1 and D-3 athletics. In that regard, Colgate is usually considered among the group that includes Bowdoin, Middlebury, Tufts and Williams among applicants (also those same applicants usually aim for Dartmouth, Cornell and Penn and Georgetown) -- Hamilton College offers an equally fine academic education, but with a stronger emphasis on the arts, e.g.; also the campus atmosphere and student demographics differ between the two schools. Comparable schools to Hamilton are Colby, Connecticut College, Dickinson, Kenyon, Lafayette, Oberlin, Trinity and to a certain degree Skidmore.</p>
<p>Hamilton has emphasis on the arts, e.g.; also the campus atmosphere and student demographics differ between the two schools.</p>
<p>What are the different demographics?</p>
<p>I don't know the exact demographics, but I no that Colgate accepts a good amount of international students..</p>
<p>Based on STATS ONLY:
Colgate- possible 50/50
Bucknell- foundation
Tufts- 50/50
Lafayette- foundation
Lehigh-foundation
College of New Jersey-foundation
Rutgers-foundation
NYU-50/50 to a reach
Emory- 50/50
U Delaware-foundation
Haverford-50/50</p>
<p>I am sure that you will get into Rutgers and The COllege of New Jersey. I was already admitted to both with very similar stats.</p>
