<p>Do you think that it is worth applying? How good of a shot do I have?</p>

<p>Here are my Stats, see what you think
(MA resident student)</p>

<p>GPA: W=4.3 UW=4.0
SATs: CR-660 M-700 W-720
Class Rank: 12/270
2 APS Junior yr, 4 senior yr
All Honors/ AP courses, Hardest courses of anyone in my class
(5's on two AP's already taken)</p>

<p>EC's:
President of Model United Nations (Junior and senior yr)
President of Key Club (Junior and senior yr)
Captain of Cross Country (junior and senior yr)
National Honors Society
Vice president of Theatre
Intern to state representative
Two jobs, one is my own business
Class Treasurer</p>

<p>Lots of awards to coincide with my ridiculous EC's
Teacher recs from teachers that know me very well, definitely a plus
Writing is my thing, so I would like to say my essays are good.</p>

<p>Going to be a gov/poly science major, stressed the debate political work.</p>

<p>You certainly have a shot.</p>

<p>yeah, 700 is close to 75th percentile and 660 is about average- I'd say you'd be a pretty normal to slightly above average 'Gater. Your transcript seems in order as do your ECs. It's not a sure thing, but it's definitely worth your time.</p>

<p>To separate yourself, how do you plan to add to the campus? </p>

<p>That's the BIG question that Colgate admissions officers ask when they read many apps that look like yours. I've been around and listened to the adcoms long enough to know what they're looking for in order to maintain what Colgate's reputation.</p>
