<p>Congrats too all others who were accepted and Good luck to the wait listed candidates! :)</p>
<p>Now over to the big decisions: Ivy League and co.</p>
<p>Americandream13,</p>
<p>same for me 
I think the FA was a problem, my bud with 2260 and 800s on both Maths and Physics got waitlisted. :|</p>
<p>I was deferred after the EDII and finally rejected now, that sucked :D</p>
<p>I am unable to accept a spot on the waitlist. The window displays an error - “error in custom script module”. Any waitlisted students getting this?</p>
<p>@konspace: Did your friend apply for as much aid as we did?</p>
<p>Even I am getting wait listed left, right and centre but I guess you’ve got into Bowdoin. Congrats!! 
:)</p>

Essays: Thought they were good
Needed a lot of financial aid, almost all the COA.
Really disappointed about being waitlisted.</p>
<p>Americandream13,</p>
<p>yes we both need almost full financial aid and we are internationals.</p>
<p>Yes I did get into Bowdoin, but need 9k so I’ll have to bargain for 4-5 more thousands :D</p>

Rank: 1/568
EC’s: I’ve shown dedication and commitment and also diversity to some extent.
REC: Good. My teachers and counselors were changed. The new ones do not know me that well.
Essays: I thought they were good.
Notes: I need about 60% financial aid and I’m an international student. I welcome this news after 4 rejections in a row (UChicago, WUSTL, Bowdoin and Yale-NUS).</p>
<p>Guys, what does a Colby waitlist mean in terms of chances and what can I do to help my application now? Can I ask for an interview or do they offer it themselves?</p>
<p>Waitlist means that they’ll review the applications once again and if some admitted student decides not to go to Colby one of the waitlisted applicants will receive his/her place. </p>
<p>You can send updated scores, financial aid documents or grades or activities.</p>
<p>I do not think they are offering any more interviews, but email or call them.</p>
<p>They do not offer interviews for waitlisted students. If you can actually see the thread I’ve started, you would know what to do…</p>
