Colby Class of 2017 Regular Decision Discussion

<p>Shall we start discuss about RD?</p>

<p>Yes! What should we talk about?</p>

<p>I applied! I haven’t visited the campus-I’m worried that it might be tooo small-town for me but I loved the majors and the study abroad options!</p>

<p>I visited the campus in late October and I really liked it. The architecture and the surrounding scenery is beautiful! However, I don’t like how isolated the campus is to Waterville. Even though they are right next door to each other, I would prefer if the campus was more physically incorporated with Waterville. That said, many students work and tutor in Waterville so I guess they are not too far apart. As for the size, I think that it’s pretty good. Small enough to have a close nit community where you are bound to see at least one friendly face where ever you go, but big enough so that you can always meet someone new.</p>

<p>IBinLux … your last sentence was an epic Cliche!! haha… anyway, I applied ED , however have been deferred to RD pool of applicants…</p>

<p>I’m just quoting what the tour guide said… and yes it is.</p>

<p>Hey, you can’t blame JacobsWannaBe for being a fan of lice! ;)</p>

<p>I applied RD! I didn’t know much about Colby before. It seems to attract very outdoorsy students</p>

<p>My son applied ED1 (and was admitted). He is very interested in outdoor activities, especially snowboarding. In addition to Colby being a great school, he felt that the school tends to attract a lot of students similarly interested in the outdoors.</p>

<p>I also applied. Let’s see what happens. I don’t know when exactly do they mail decisions… My friend from there told me she got hers in mid-March…</p>

<p>Applied. Did not visit the school but from what I’ve heard/read it looks wonderful. Also heard they are pretty generous for financial aid?</p>

<p>If you applied RD to Colby you should hear from us before the end of March. We expect to post admissions decisions to student portals the weekend of March 23-24, provided everything goes as planned.</p>

<p>TWO MORE MONTHS… I can’t wait!</p>

<p>I read it on the website (recently updated) that internationals must send Certificates of Finances, though the old version of the website said ISFAA and income statements only. I apply ED2, so do I need to send COF now? (not much time left!)</p>

<p>any internationals here</p>

<p>I’m kind of an international. I’m French and American and I’m living outside of either of those countries. Where else are other internationals on this forum from?</p>

<p>hi IBinLux I am from Pakistan</p>

<p>I applied! Visited campus and had an off-campus interview. Love Colby, but it’s my least favorite of the Maine LACs. Excited to hear back!</p>

<p>At the moment, Colby is my favorite of the Maine LACs! Why do you prefer the other Maine LACs Hatshepsut?</p>

<p>I applied
but my chances are like 0.1% xDD
with 1930 SAT
108 TOEFL
9.3/10 GPA</p>

<p>although great essays, recommendations and ECs i still think I don’t stand a chance
I’m an international student</p>
