Personal statement required (250-650 words), plus one supplement:

  1. Optional

    Colgate offers optional supplemental writing prompts. They appear in your Colgate applicant portal after your application is received, and applicants who skip them are at no disadvantage.

    Colgate does not publish these prompts before you apply, so we cannot show them here. Paste yours into the review flow once you have them.
