<p>is this the appropriate time to bump?</p>

3

<p>Not that i am qualified enough to advice others- but personally i think you look great :)</p>

4

<p>SAT is good, unfortunately colgate doesnt look at the writing section. Depends on what your 3.6 means, how that places you in your class, how rigorous your schedule/school is etc…</p>

5

<p>3.6 is the median GPA of recently accepted Colgate students.</p>

<p>You’re certainly an interesting applicant with impressive stats in some areas, but being an Asian girl from CA will work against you…</p>

6

<p>3.6 unweighted, my school doesnt weight or have rankings. i go to a well respected, challenging private school in socal, so i think its pretty legit
my schedule wasnt that rigorous because you have to get recommended for APs, so i took 1 last year and 2 this year, but my schedule is still pretty rigorous regardless…</p>

<p>i’m half asian… i mark the multiracial/other bubble on my apps</p>

<p>why does being from ca work against me?
the west is the least represented area for students at colgate</p>
