Out of reach.

You need to look at the admisions stats of the current class at colgate.edu and everywhere else you are considering.
Then you will learn what’s involved and what the current standards are for each one so you an apply to a safety/likely/reach list of colleges.

Good luck with your college search!

Colgate is one of the nation’s most highly selective colleges, so there’s nothing unusual with respect to its being out-of-reach for a given college aspirant, but I’m afraid this would apply to you, @SailorSays.

You mentioned elsewhere you were interested in engineering. There is no engineering at Colgate.

6

Just to be clear, Colgate students interested in engineering participate in the following:

Go 'gate!

While many schools offer 3-2 engineering options, the reality is very very few actually do it.

Regarding combined engineering programs (3-2, 2-1-1-1), I’ve seen stats in which a few students from a given LAC might participate in a single year. Based on this, I’d say these programs represent significant opportunities for interested students.
