Hey everyone, Colgate is one of my top choices, and I'm considering applying Early Decision. I'm curious, does anyone out there know what their ED acceptance rate is?
According to data from various admissions cycles, Colgate University typically has a higher acceptance rate for Early Decision (ED) applicants compared to Regular Decision. While the acceptance rates can vary each year, Colgate's ED acceptance rate has been previously reported as approximately 20-25%. It's important to keep in mind that this is not a guaranteed rate for any given year, as it can fluctuate based on the applicant pool.
Applying ED can indeed increase your chances of acceptance at many schools, including Colgate. However, remember that ED is a binding agreement. If you are accepted, you are committing to attend unless the financial aid package offered makes it financially not feasible for you. Be absolutely sure Colgate is your top choice before applying ED.
