i got a handwritten note as well (but it was about one of my activities,not my essay), which was a really nice touch, plus the acceptance letter was so not generic, they addressed me by my name in all the paragraphs. Accepted students you all should join the fb group! (: hopefully i'll meet some of you guys!
Accepted .
Stats: 2160 SAT
32 ACT
98.5 GPA
I had a handwritten note on my acceptance letter. It mentioned quotes from my recommendations and the impact I had on my town
Rejected, but I am bummed out very little...
I expected it fully.
I am an international student, asking for tons of aid, with international and national awards, 45/45 on the IB and a first percentile SAT, so I hope they thought I was overqualified - a friend of mine last year who got into Columbia, Princeton, Harvard and Dartmouth was also turned down by Colgate...
Congratulations to those who got in. I am sure you guys deserve it more than I do, especially if Colgate was your first choice...
I'm an international but going to a prep school in KY. Yet to get a mail yet. If I were an out-of-country international, I would be relieved for not getting the e-mail rejection, but since I'm a domestic international, I wouldn't think they would e-mail me but rather give me a mail rejection (if that's the case). Why hasn't it come today!!!!?
Rejection email. I am not so sure whether I will go to college in the US after this since I have been rejected by the 2 "easiest" schools on my list. Now I am awaiting replies from Vassar, Middlebury, Amherst and Dartmouth... I hate this.
So it seems out-of-the-states internationals got rejection emails... any domestic internationals (those who came to the U.S. since high school) getting emails?
P.S. condolences for those internationals who just got a rejection. As stated before in the thread, international admissions involve many unpredictable/uncontrollable variables. I'm sure you will get into some awesome colleges. Just keep your fingers crossed.
