<p>What's your SAT score?</p>

<p>i havent taken SAT's yet, i am a junior</p>

<p>I imagine that with solid SAT scores, you will most certainly get into Colgate.</p>

<p>If you think you can also get into Dartmouth, Georgetown, Middlebury and/or Cornell, you will get into Colgate. From the looks of your resume, with SAT scores in the 700s+ and with a couple of club presidencies besides your captaincies, you look solid & good. The one variable: how well-regarded the academic regimen is at your school by college adcoms. If you think your school is a 4 out of 5 or better, then you're good, IMHO.</p>

<p>If you are sure Colgate is the school for you, you would have a much better chance if you were to apply ED. Your stat looks very good if you could get good SAT I II scores.</p>
