thevet91- I also got waitlisted at Bucknell and I'm waiting to hear from brown, gtown, duke, and boston college... I'm scared!! I really wanna get into colgate as well and it's always been a top choice of mine.

Oh God...I do live in NY but I live in Queens not upstate so I might not get it tomorrow..though it would be amazing to just get it over with (I am definitely getting rejected)...good luck to all though!

I also expect to be rejected. My only hope is that since I'm not applying for any financial aid they just may want me for my parent's money and not my SAT scores.

^ another reason why I wish I had money *sigh* ..and another reason why I should get into Colgate ..so my amazing education can lead to an amazing job which will lead to an amazing salary...then I will just donate oodles of money and get my kids accepted

I'm an alum living in Queens and I just received a letter from Colgate today (25th) that was postmarked on the 23rd in Utica. So it'll probably be 2-3 days for New Yorkers, depending on weather. You're lucky living relatively close - I'm from Seattle and it usually took a full week for me to get anything from Hamilton, NY!

Everyone who's accepted (in the US at least) will be invited to an accepted student event in your local area - please go! It's a great way to talk to current students and alums and get a non-admissions-office perspective, especially if you haven't had a chance to before. The NY event is scheduled for the 1st, so I'm sure you'll hear very soon...

JenJen9ny... I hate to say it, but that's not a bad plan!! Wish I had thought about it 30 years ago.

OK, I received my letter - rejected.
It's postmarked March, 20th.
Good luck to you guys who didn't yet receive the letter, and congrats to those of you who have been accepted!

I was also rejected.
But good luck to everyone else!

Modadunn · 03-26-2009, 11:07 AM

Aww.. I am so sorry Flid and Blanche2negru. And as hollow as it sounds, a year from now the odds are you are going to find yourself extremely happy wherever you land!

OK..

I've started the official thread and so, going forward, let's use that. And while it's not fun to put forth all your stats when rejected, it really is helpful for those kids looking at it for future reference.

blanche2negru. so it took you almost a week to get the letter?

cranberrykiss · 03-26-2009, 02:00 PM

You're international, right? So hopefully the wait won't be much longer for us non-internationals! Maybe we can expect them soon?

blanche2negru · 03-26-2009, 02:22 PM

MIII3 - it took that long because yes, indeed, I'm international.

cranberrykiss · 03-26-2009, 03:03 PM

Oh my, does anyone think tomorrow or Saturday might be a possibility?

livinonthedge · 03-26-2009, 03:59 PM

If you're in New Jersey then it should most likely arrive tomorrow or the next day.. I'm in Brooklyn and I'm hoping for tomorrow! I mean, if they were mailed out on Wednesday from upstate it can't take that long..

MIII3 · 03-26-2009, 04:24 PM

K. let me get this straightened out. I am from the Caribbean and applied to colgate........

When can i expect something in the mail? I checked my mail box today and got nothing from colgate.

Can someone give me a time frame here since they dont email international students?

*PS... I received some booklet from colgate the first week of march and the post date was the first week of february? Am I suppose to look for their mail in one month??????
