While waiting for acceptance...share your experience

Haha..anxiously waiting and pending hit my nerves...
so share some funny things that happen during your college application??

1. anxiously type colgate in the address bar and found to be in colgate palmolive website. (yes the toothpaste)
2. telling your friends you're applying to colgate, and with them raising their eyebrows...(mind me, i;m international)
3. excite your parents when they keep sending big envelopes to your house
4. **** the postmen off coz the big envelopes are always heavy and barely fit into my mailbox. ( 80% of my colgate mails are somehow ripped off by the side..or bitten by my dog)

mind to share more???

I've got the raised eyebrows for Colgate, even from my American friends (I'm international too). I've also been very excited over the packages...

1. Have my best friend laugh for 20 minutes when I told her I'm applying to a college named Colgate
2. You know those personal messages at the bottom of the big, deceiving envelopes? Well, I just had to smudge-test those pens with spit-on-finger-smudging technique. My dad came in the room while I was doing that and gave me a dirty look.

haha...visiting a friend of mine at Colgate, inadvertently inviting an RA into a room in which we were doing things RA's shouldn't know about, being stupid enough to give her my real name when she asked, then freaking out that Admissions would find out and reject me because of it...then, 2 months later, finding out that i'm an Alumni Memorial Scholar

I am waiting for rejection, so this thread is not for me.

Nevermind.

My grandparents are Cuban and only speak Spanish, when I told them I was accepted at Colgate University (Early Decision) they just stared at me. I still haven't been able to convince them that I am not going to be a Dentist (I want to study International Relations) and now they all only buy Colgate Toothpaste because they are convinced that by doing so they are supporting me in college... LMAO

They're a very hardheaded bunch of people...

thats really funny..my grandparents were like huh? Colgate? you want to be a factory worker in a toothpaste company? THAT's why we flew you to hOng kOng to take the SATs ( living in Shanghai), tHAT's why we dished out $$$$ for you to do the IBDP??????
so yeah, if I get accepted, I will have tONS of explaining to do.
