<p>what was the letter all about...it said that colgate had the most apps ever? What does this mean</p>
<p>This year Colgate got apx. 8800 apps, more than it's ever gotten before...</p>
<p>I got the same thing...
I got kind of excited to see it (you know, a big envelope from a college is usually good), but no luck yet...</p>
<p>these giant envelopes from Colgate are teasers!</p>
<p>That sort of thing should only be permitted in small envelopes!</p>
<p>I didn't get whatever this is, but I'm international. What is a 100 days letter?</p>
<p>TheOneCurlyFry,
The "100 Days letter" was a mailing sent by Colgate around 2 weeks ago that included a brochure about the first 100 days at Colgate along with a letter citing some fall semester activities and clubs.<br>
The letter also said that they have recieved their "largest applicant pool ever- over 8,700 students have applied this year."
Hopefully we'll all be getting big envelopes again in a few weeks!</p>
<p>Thank you :).</p>
<p>...maybe I'll get it, I'm in India, so it takes a long time to get here.</p>
<p>got it today in pakistan</p>
<p>I got it in China.</p>
<p>hoping to get it today >.<.</p>
<p>no letter.</p>
<p>You guys need to relax. This mailing is only informational and is clearly not indicative of our chances of acceptance. It is fun to read and adds to my interest in Colgate but it still is three weeks to RD decision time.</p>
<p>Yes, but if they didn't send it to me, there has to be a reason, right? If there are some people they didn't send it to, that categories is more likely to be people they're likely to reject than people they're likely to accept.</p>
<p><em>paranoid</em></p>
<p>hey OneCurlyFry! I'm in Delhi and I havent got it yet too...</p>
<p>That makes me feel better. Maybe they just didn't mail it to India? Or maybe India Post sucks?</p>
<p>I think i'll choose the 2nd option! Today was sunday.....If i dont get it tomorrow i'm going to kill my postman...</p>
<p>It's not that special. I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean anything. All it says is that they have enjoyed reading everyone's application and they thank everyone for shwoing interest in Colgate.</p>
<p>the postman's in for a ride...</p>
<p>I didn't get it either...</p>
<p>My dad's mad at me because I'm freaking so much over it.</p>
<p>hmm...i was waiting today with an axe in my hand for the postman(it was raining), poised for combat...but he never came.
a. colgate's conspiracy against indian applicants ?
OR
b. indian postmen gone wild wid those colgate letters and stole them mistaking them to be toothpaste dividends...?</p>
<p>dunno</p>
