<p>I'm really interested in Colby!</p>
<p>I plan on raising my ACT score: I took the test the first time not knowing ANYTHING about its format (I earned a composite score of 30), but now I have a book that I'm using to study. I took the SATs twice, but I found that my scores were average (600 to 690 for each component) and I was better-suited towards the ACT. I would really prefer to NOT take the SATs again.</p>
<p>Do you think that my NOT playing a varsity/junior varsity sport in high school will effect my admissions chances? I have been an active dancer for almost 15 years.</p>
<p>Thank you for all of those that respond, and best wishes to all of you!</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure colby doesn't look at SAT's if you choose not to send them... but your scores are far from terrible. if you raise your ACT to a 31 or 32 you should be a-okay. </p>
<p>i applied to colby this winter and was accepted, though i'm not attending in the fall. a very good friend of mine wasn't into sports at all... she did golf for two years but that was IT... so, i think you should be fine. plus, they're going to want diverse students anyway... they don't want an entire class of varsity athletes =P so, on your application... make a note of how dance is something you have done for a long time, have had a huge commitment to, and is something you're passionate about.</p>
<p>i'll also throw in that after i was admitted... i received a letter from the dance and theatre departments on campus because i expressed interest... so there would be a opprotunities for you to continue dance if that's something that is important to you...
i think i might even have the letter somewhere, i could give you the contact information for the director... if you wanted. just PM me! </p>
<p>best of luck!</p>
<p>merrr... i forgot to put in the sentence that my friend who did golf was accepted... just to clarify. =]</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouraging words. I visited a college fair and spoke with the Colby representative, and I feel ready to apply to the school!</p>
