Alex: they definitely are sending out regular mail to the internationals as well. And they send it a long time ago, probably making sure you'll receive it around the same time as the Americans. I got mine yesterday.
Oddly, I didn't receive any such book. (I'm international by the way.) I heard Colgate sent out Valentine's Day greetings in Feb, I didn't receive those either.
I'm hoping it's not a bad sign or anything! *crosses fingers*
Andykcom, how did you know they sent the decisions out to international applicants earlier?
Because my letter (that arrived yesterday) was postmarked March 20th. I guess they didn't expect it would take only five days for it to be mailed to the Czech Republic.
Receiving or not receiving a book is not a sign of anything; Colgate has flooded me with dozens of letters, postcards and books, but at the end didn't offer me an admission. Perhaps it had something to do with my FA requirements.
Yeah, I have received that booklet recently, though it was dated on Jan 17. There must have been confusion in the post office that it traveled for 3 months to come here. Nothing that important, but it was "This is where we call home", not "what we call home".
