I was never sent emails from Colby, and I can't seem to get a reply from my emails either

I also never received confirmation from Colby, only from commonapp after submitting my application. Should I still email?

After getting waitlisted at Wesleyan and Northwestern, and rejected from Colgate I have a bad gut feeling that Colby will waitlist me, too...

Does anyone know how packages were sent to internationals? I mean, did colby send snail mails to all of international applicants? If so, using with what postal agency(dhl, fedex,etc) were they sent?
Thanks a lot.

Congratulations Bobbob924! Where do you live? Can you tell us your stats?

Oh, and can you tell us if you have been accepted, waitlisted or denied anywhere else?

Why are they not ever answering? I emailed them before, when the office shouldn't have been as busy as it is around notification time, but they never answered. I would call, but my phone doesn't support international calls.
Anyone know how I could possibly reach them? I even tried facebook, and nothing

Hi Alisyn,

I just email Colby Admissions on Friday because we were having trouble with my D's password and they replied to me.

Do you just want to check to see if they got your application? I don't know why they wouldn't reply to that? Do you have the right email address?

I wanted to check my application before, too. I've had this issue since forever, and no one bothered to reply. I emailed admissions at colby dot edu, then i tried another email a colby rep posted on a thread here.. Nothing. I don't know what the deal is

Hi, all - Decisions for all applicants will be posted on the myColby portal today at 5 pm EST. Notification letters were sent to US applicants on Friday via USPS, and accepted international students will be sent their notification letter and information packet via UPS. For those of you who applied for financial aid and were accepted to Colby, financial aid information is indeed included in the mailed packets.

You all should have received your username and password by email following your application submission; however, if you did not receive this information, or have since forgotten your myColby credentials, please email our office at admissions@colby.edu or call our main line at 207-859-4800 to retrieve it. If you'd prefer to speak with your regional admissions representative directly, the territory assignments and contact information for our staff can be found here: Colby College | Admissions & Financial Aid | Ask Our Staff.

alisyn - I'm sorry you haven't been able to connect with our office. Please feel free to email me directly (rlarsena@colby.edu) and I will help you track down your log-in credentials.

Colby Admissions,
I was wondering when the finalized financial aid offers are going to be sent out? I was accepted ED1.
