[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3.6 from a private and full pay not getting into Colgate is very surprising.  I think it will be very difficult for my MoCo senior with a 4.2 weighted and 33 ACT to get in ED2 (we are full pay also).  Any thoughts from people?  Any stats people can share for the public school kids who may have gotten in last night?[/quote]

The 3.6 is likely the problem.  Colgate has gotten super competitive.  Last year overall acceptance was 12% (11.6%). DC is a current freshman and the ‘26 class is outstanding- heard about it ad nauseum at Family Weekend.  Applied RD from top private in DMV - 3.9, 1500, great academic and athletic ECs incld 4 sport varsity athlete and captain but no true hook. Essay received praise from admissions so that helped.  If that was last year this year bound to be tougher. I have no clue what weighed GPAs actually are but 4.2 sounds low. DC has hasamet other freshman at Colgate from most of the top DMV privates and one from BCC but no other area publics.[/quote]

Wouldn't a 3.9 from a top private have put your kid in the top 5 students in that class and made him/her Ivy material? [/quote]
