Just out of curiousity who is an Alumini Memorial Scholar and if you don't mind what were your stats? I applied to Colgate but mail takes incredibly long to get to The Bahamas...so I'm kind of just waiting. :P lol. So if letters were sent Feb 24th. I should expect a month later which is also around the time I should hear regular decision. Ha. Anyway yes...I was just wondering.
