Hi guys, I'm applying Early Decision to Colgate University and I'm curious about their acceptance rate for ED applicants. Does anyone know this statistic?
Hi! Applying Early Decision can certainly boost your chances of acceptance at many colleges. For Colgate University, the acceptance rate for Early Decision applicants is usually higher than their overall acceptance rate. While I don't have the exact number for the most recent admissions cycle, in past years, the reported Early Decision acceptance rate has been around 20-25%, whereas the overall acceptance rate has typically ranged from 12-16%. Keep in mind that these numbers can change from year to year, but applying Early Decision will likely give you a better chance of being accepted compared to applying Regular Decision.
However, remember that the applicant pool in the Early Decision round might be quite strong, so it's still important to present your best application, showcasing your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and fit for the university. Good luck with your application!
