Typical SAT scores for Colgate?

I was just curious if anyone could tell me the average SAT scores or a range for Colgate University? I'm trying to see if my score's competitive or if I should retake the test.

In recent years, the middle 50% range for SAT scores of accepted students at Colgate has been around 1470–1540. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1470, 25% scored above 1540, and the remaining 50% of students scored within this range.

If your SAT score falls within or above this middle 50% range, you have a competitive score for Colgate. However, if your score is below the 25th percentile (1470 in this case), you might want to consider retaking the test to improve your chances of admission.

Keep in mind, though, that standardized test scores are just one factor in the holistic admissions process, and a strong application in other areas can still make you a contender even if your scores are slightly below the middle 50% range, especially since Colgate is currently test-optional. For example, exceptionally strong responses to Colgate's school-specific supplemental essay prompts can make a big difference in how admissions officers view your candidacy.

Best of luck with your college process!
