<p>So, does anyone know how seriously Colgate takes the SATs? Personally, I'd prefer they put a large emphasis on them, but most schools don't.</p>
<p>For the average unhooked applicant to Colgate, good scores are important. Good grades are more important.</p>
<p>I’m salutatorian, so grades aren’t an issue. But yeah, the only hook I have is that my uncle is on the alumni board. Do you think a 700 CR and 780 Math are solid Colgate material for a white, non athlete? (Oh, and 720 Writing, but I doubt they count this)</p>
<p>^A year or two ago, someone posted on here that the avg SAT for a white, non-athlete male at Colgate was 1384; so, you should be in rather easily. </p>
<p>How do you know you’re salutatorian yet when you have the whole Senior year to go?</p>
<p>Gellino, I suspect the average would be higher for that profile (the average SAT for all admitted students in the class of 2012 was 1403), but I agree that colin’s chances are good. Write a good essay!</p>
<p>I meant that as of right now I’m salutatorian; things could change.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think the average accepted student SAT that year was 1389 and the average enrolled student SAT was 1349. Given the yield is usually at 34%, the ratio is probably right about the same; so maybe the average SAT for a non-athlete, white male in the most recent class was right ~ 1400.</p>
<p>solid. Thanks, guys.</p>
<p>gellino, I got the 1403 number from the Colgate website.</p>
