Can I be accpeted into Colgate University?

I want to do premed (Biology major)

In a decently competitive public school.
My class rigor....

1/3 honors classes 9th grade
3/4 honors classes sophomore year
3/4 honors classes junior year
3/4 honors classes senior year
(5 APs in all)


-Overall GPA 3.7 weighted it is 4.3
- SAT's 2100 (should I retake?)
- volunteer at the hospital, member of student council, on the varsity soccer team since sophomore year, in 3 major clubs and might be able to get some leadership positions in them, VP of class, Secretary of Celebrations club, a lot of small clubs, volunteer at the library, on a club soccer team ranked 20th in the nation, a soccer buddy for children of special needs soccer league, and tutor children at the local YMCA( about 700 hrs of volunteering/ community service in all).
-NHS and Gold in Russian speaking competition.
- ranked 50th out of 700 in class.
- Speak Russian as second language

I will probably apply ED.

Thanks.

I would probably retake SAT because it can't really hurt; depending on your breakdown since Colgate doesn't really look at the writing section. Going ED could be the difference for you and would think you have a pretty good chance, although 50/700 may be a little low.

Two kids applied ED II to Colgate from my school, both ranked 40-50/220 with a 2100 SAT, and they were both accepted. I think you're in personally.

Could you please post the break up of the SAT scores?

Overall, I think you will make it

Good Luck!
