Sounds like Colby is sending out tons of different emails tonight! Pulver Scholarships, Presidential Scholars, Additional Information requests - and those are just the ones popping up here on CC. Best wishes to anyone who received emails about specialized scholarships or programs.
Wow! Super good news to me. Thank you for this information!
Of course! Glad I could help
I received an email about Bunche Scholars! I also posted on Reddit to see if anyone else got an email about this, but nope; others have only gotten the additional info or Presidental Scholars emails. Fingers crossed that this is special!
Hmmmm…kind of a bummer to see that other people are getting scholarship emails and my DS only got an “additional info” request.

There’s a thread from last year about the Bunche Scholars program. Not sure it can be considered a likely letter, but it seems more selective than the Pulver Science Scholars Program which I believe was just sent out to everyone who applied as a science major. I could be wrong though, this is just what I’m thinking
I wouldn’t get discouraged. It’s possible there is just something they want to clarify in his application, and maybe he can use this opportunity to tell the school more about himself and make himself stand out more in the applicant pool. They got almost 16,000 applicants this year; maybe they’re just looking for a way to differentiate some of them or perhaps gauge interest? In reality, we have no idea what any of this means, so don’t lose hope!
Don’t worry. Here is one on the same boat. Hopefully, we don’t have to interpret it as an “unlikely” letter 
I think it’s a good sign. My D got one last year and she ended up getting accepted as a Presidential Scholar. She ended up deciding to go somewhere else. She may have chosen Colby if there had been in-person admitted students days last year.

I don’t think the Pulver Program was sent out to everyone who applied as a Science major as I know people who applied for STEM subjects who didn’t get it. I applied for engineering and somehow got it but idk.
Do you think the email was somewhat selective in nature then? Like they only sent it to people who they’re most likely going to accept?
“Most” likely or not, I am not sure, but I know my son hasn’t received invitation for any of those scholarships. It’s a good sign for you.
My daughter got the additional request email too so your daughter is not alone.
My son got the additional information request as well. Did everyone get this email? He’s not sure what other information to include but feels like he should write something.
I am wondering if this went out to all as well.
I did not get an email requesting additional information
FYI, I did not get the email requesting additional information.
Yes, my son got this email last night.
That’s what I’ve heard from last year’s CC threads. I take it to mean that the admissions officers really like your app, there’s a high probability they’ll accept you (but NOT a 100%). Realistically, just take it as a sign that there are no red flags on your app.
