Dear lala91,

you have a very interesting resume, and I think it could be very strong (or weak) depending on how you construct yourself. As someone who had low SAT/ACTs and high grades, I can tell you that Colgate really looks at the whole profile and wants well rounded students who have taken advantage of their academic classes (and succeeded in them) as well as who have taken advantage of opportunities in their communities - school and outside of school. Essentially your all the parts of your application fit together like a puzzle which tells the story of who you are. If you are able to do this, and show how you fit with Colgate, that's how you'll have the strongest app.
