Excellent recc's from AP English and AP Chemistry teachers.
Excellent EC's... lots of involvement in music-related activities (flute), marching band drum major, varsity golf and JV tennis, Robotics team (heavy involvement),varsity quiz bowl team, lots of other smaller clubs~ lots of involvement with horses/towards my career aspirations as a veterinarian. Community service.
I like my essays, so hopefully they will as well. ;) I'm sending in a portfolio of some of my artwork, equine-related... a more artistic sketch, one of the muscular system, and a realistic shaded drawing. Yep!</p>
<p>fifty-five views and no response? Sheesh. :p</p>
<p>Hmm... I alos presented my love of horses in Colgate's essay and I didn't get in the first time.... but then again, you have much higher numbers than I did. So let's hope that YOU get in so you can join our fabulous equestrian team :) Yeah, I got in the second time because I wrote about horses in my EC essay, apparently the more important one :)</p>
<p>Hm... I have two essays I was debating on using for the commonapp EC essay but I was rejected ED from Cornell with it (which was a huge surprise and dissapointment =/ but I'm kind of glad, because I really like Colgate) and changed it to something music related... would you mind if I PMed them to you and you can give me an opinion on which to use? :)</p>
<p>PONY!!!!!</p>
<p>Im applying to colgate too. good luck, you look good for it.
yeah, the cornell rejection is a big surprise, for me and you it appears [i was rejected too :( ]</p>
<p>Rachell!!! :D</p>
<p>Ah, the rejection was horrible. :/ But who knows, maybe it's for the better. For us pre-vets who intend on attending Cornell for vet school, maybe it's better not to be in the same spot for 9 years~</p>
<p>But I'm still a little bitter. lol Colgate looks really great though... I spoke with a current pre-vet student who said everything is fantastic at Colgate and completely reccomended it. A lot of undergrads get wonderful research and intern opportunities since there aren't so many graduates to focus on...</p>
<p>Well, things will work out for the both of us, I'm sure. :) Good luck!</p>
<p>yeah lol. i visited colgate, it's AMAZING.
people = cool, too.</p>
<p>good luck with your edII, im just doing RDs now.</p>
<p>Thanks! I wasn't planning on going EDII, but Colgate won me over... especially considering the other colleges I was applying to. I hope everything works out wonderfully with your RD applications. :)</p>
<p>I think your chance is solid; best of luck! :-)</p>
<p>Thank you very much! :) Good luck to you as well.</p>
<p>when do you get your decision?</p>
<p>I believe around February 15. It'd be a nice Valentine's gift. :p</p>
<p>haha yeah. my bday is feb 12, i get my lis. on v-day.</p>
<p>so it looks like that will be a good week for both of us... hopefully.</p>
<p>Looks so. =) Aheh, it's kind of sad how badly I want to get into Colgate at this point... who's your top choice?</p>
<p>i have no idea. i really love all the schools i'm applying to.</p>
<p>ah, good for you. :) that way you'll most likely be thrilled no matter what. heh</p>
