[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son is wrong. It’s not a failure. Colgate’s acceptance rate this year is between 11 and 12%. It’s lower than Middlebury’s (14%), Georgetown’s (14.5%), UVA’s (19%) and more top ranked schools. It’s an acceptance he should be proud of. Lots of “highflying” applicants did not get in to Colgate this year - we know several. The class of ‘26 is going to be filled with kids just like him. It is not the same Colgate of 10 years ago or even 2 years ago. Plus the research and internship opportunities are excellent due to its size and strong alum network. Most alums are diehard and often very successful. Yes, it’s no Ivy but the truth is it’s similar to what Dartmouth was a generation ago before it’s acceptance rate hit single digits. If your kid goes he is going to find himself surrounded by classmates who are academically just like him. [/quote] Sorry, PP- Colgate is a fantastic school but is is not harder to get into than Middlebury. [/quote]
