<p>Did anyone else who applied to Colgate get a letter in the mail today telling them that they were an alumni memorial scholar? If so, congratulations. I just went to my mailbox a few minutes ago, saw a thick envalope from Colgate, and went nuts. Yay. I probabley should have waited to celebrate 'till I got back up to my appartment, 'cuase I fell tripped going up a flight of stairs, but whatever. Yeah!</p>
<p>whats your IM metsfan? PM me</p>
<p>I actually don't have an IM. I used to when I was younger, but I don't even remember what it was.</p>
<p>Congratulations metsfan! That's a really nice honor!!</p>
<p>ah alright well i wanted to talk to you about it, cause i got it too. im really excited, and really grateful that theyd consider me for this. it was most definitely unexpected!!!! im really excited!!!</p>
<p>Nothing came in the mail today~ just a confirmation letter about my housing deposit. :) Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations, Jvhowube. When I called Colgate this morning to see if I could find out about the AMS by phone (before the mal got here)(and they wouldn't tell me anything), they said that they were still in the process of selecting Alumni Memorial Scholars, so you still might be an AMS, existentialpony.</p>
<p>Actually she might not be because she's already binded in a contract with Colgate so they have her for good. If she applied RD, she might be because AMS is used to attract people who otherwise would've picked top LACs and Ivies over Colgate. Like STRIDE at Smith.</p>
<p>But congratulations to both of you!</p>
<p>Hey guys- just got the letter from Colgate! I was really surprised because I wasn't expecting decisions from my RD schools to come so early. Can anybody tell me anything more about the AMS program? Congratulations to everyone accepted!</p>
<p>Yeah I got in too. Didn't even know the program existed until I got the letter. </p>
<p>What does "covers all on-campus expenses" mean?</p>
<p>This is a link to the AMS page: <a href="http://www.colgate.edu/desktopdefault1.aspx?tabID=588%5B/url%5D">http://www.colgate.edu/desktopdefault1.aspx?tabID=588</a> . Being an AMS scholar basically means that you were one of the top 200 applicants to Colgate, and that you get a $5000 stipend an get to go to special events.</p>
<p>Congratulations Metsfan, Jvhowube, shellzie and cubbies12. DS just got his letter today, as well. Congratulations to all of you - it's a terrific honor.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link, metsfan!</p>
<p>omg i got AMS too! so stoked. didn't even expect this.</p>
<p>Is anyone going to the visit Colgate days or whatever it's called for Alumni Memorial Scholars on April 11-12/17-18? And is this a thing that's just for AMS or is it for everyone who got accepted?</p>
<p>metsfan - there is an extra day the 17th for AMS</p>
<p>17th - 18th AMS
18th - 19th AMS + everyone else too</p>
<p>it is on the little 3x5 card that they gave you in the folder.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I see what you mean.</p>
<p>colgate said they award AMS to 200 students each year. But how many out of 200 actually enroll? just curious.</p>
<p>I received my letter to be an AMS also!</p>
<p>good question hello123 - anyone know?</p>
