Hey, I'm a high school junior looking into Colgate University, and I was wondering what the acceptance rate for Regular Decision applicants is? Any info would be appreciated!
Hey there! Colgate doesn't publish a specific RD acceptance rate, but it tends to be close to (or slightly below) the overall acceptance rate, which for 2023 was 12%. To increase your chances of acceptance, it's important to have a strong application with good grades, test scores (if you choose to submit them), and impressive extracurricular activities. It's also crucial to write a compelling personal statement and any required supplemental essays that showcase your fit for Colgate.
Good luck with your application process, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
