hi , i applied to colgate ED…still one more week till the decisons are mailed…what do u think my REALISTIC chances are:

SAt 1300 (680v 620m)
TOEFL 273
GPA round 4.5 (on a 5.00 scale)
i have 17 courses throughout the year ( and my grades are like: 12 As, 2 Bs , 3 Cs)…those Cs will probably hurt me…

eccs.:
volleyball for the past 4 years
class president
school drama club
school video&newspaper club
amnesty international
took french courses outside school

worked as a carwasher past 2 summers
handed out flyers for some big supermarket

spent past 2 summers in Summer schools in the USA ( Taft and NMH)-great recommendations- got all As there

my school recommendations are great- all the best
my essay-well, nothing special, not good enough to impress

there are two important things to know :

Im an international student from Croatia- and Colgate currently doesn’t have any students from Croatia
I would need(almost) a full scholarship or fin aid and i dont know how much that will hurt me


SO ? WHAt do you think?

also, any other schools you think i should apply to ?
i was considering these for RD :
smith
mount holyoke
lehigh
oberlin
lafayette
dickinson
allegheny
grinell
macalester
trinity
colby
franklin &marshall

what are my chances at those? match-reach??
