anyone know when we should hear about the waitlist? after may 1? i just want the process to be over 
^^ In past, Colby has always waited until May 1 to go to the WL.
my DD decided to go to Colby after spending the first night there last weekend. Met her there on Friday and she US straight to the store to get colby gears.
@Mrjacmel. Congratulations on your daughters choice to attend Colby…!
does anyone know the general time period for when the incoming freshmen begin enrollment for fall courses?
^^ I believe that around late June/early July, you will correspond with your advisor on what you want to take. If memory serves correctly, you’ll be asked why you chose each class you did.
I am under the impression that most incoming freshmen get the classes they request (after working through it with the advisor.)
This is a great time to look through the course catalog and figure out what interests you as well as figure out how to deal with requirements.
@CTstudent44. Agree w @gardenstategal as the advisor communication this summer will start the process. However freshmen begin their Orientation, according to the academic calendar, on Aug 26. They then begin classes on Sept 3. That week long Orientation period includes residence hall assignments, moving in and participation in the COOT program…
Thank you so much!!
Anyone know if they will offer admissions this year for waitlisted students?
@Mrjacmel @toomanykiddos Has anyone received any emails (or mail) from Colby since paying the deposit? We received an email with a receipt for payment, but nothing else since (we paid on 4/14). They’ve been so good about communicating that we’re just getting a bit paranoid now that May 1 is approaching and we’ve received nothing else. Thanks in advance!
Yah nope, they haven’t said anything which Im kinda surprised about
Thanks @teddy10143 - so glad it’s not just us!
@hviewer we neither, deposit was paid in early April and also uploaded supporting documents to get I-20 forms, since we are international students.
@hviewer we haven’t received any communication either.
Thanks @Skywalkercn and @toomanykiddos! Hopefully we’ll get something soon after the May 1 deadline.
My daughter got accepted at UCLA from the waitlist, difficult to make decision in the past two days.
^^It wouldn’t have been at all hard for anyone in our house. Colby!
But I see you are checking in on WL activity at a lot of schools. It doesn’t seem like you are excited about what Colby offers.
@gardenstategal Honestly we are still somewhat typical Chinese family, UCLA is more famous in China, some are recommending my daughter to UCLA, personally I believe Colby will be more suitable if she pursues graduate degree.
Universities will not provide as many opportunities as in LACS.
@gardenstategal my daughter decided to go to Colby and she trust that this is a wise decision^^
don’t know if it’s just me but anyone also did not receive the admission package? i paid the deposit on 3/24 and kept wondering why i didn’t receive my admission package. gladly, they contacted me about my I-20 process (im an international student), but i’m still wondering where my admission package is ? lowkey hoping that they’ll send me the admission package along with the visa forms
