I’m posting this for kids with similar stats so they can help gauge where they could possibly get accepted.
I received a decent amount of money at the schools that I was accepted to. I feel like I was deferred from Dickinson and Richmond because I didn’t show any interest. I didn’t accept my place on any of the waitlists.
I felt like my common app essay was very good. Colgate even wrote a personal note about it in my admissions packet.
