ACCEPTED AS A PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR! So happy! The link predicted I would get in, and I also recieved the presidential scholar email in february or whenever it was
does anyone know how we know what research thing we got into as a presidential scholar? It didn’t say in the letter
Waitlisted. 1260 SAT (did not submit), 3.93 W GPA, ranked 5/237 in my class. Excellent interview, common app essay, and extracurriculars. Slightly disappointed because Colby was my top choice and I doubt I’ll make it off the waitlist since I need financial aid but we will see. Still waiting on Bates and Bowdoin tomorrow.
Oh and I did not interview.
ACT: 32
W GPA: 3.91
pretty good EC’s and essay
The gall that it takes to call a 13% acceptance rate school a safety in front of people’s faces that didn’t get in…

in case this is helpful for future applicants, i really think colby cares about interest. if you’re serious about colby you should interview and try to tour. if you can’t you should email your regional rep and tell them you’re interested
Yes my D accepted officially with the Presidential Scholar! Yeah~~ 
I’m very surprised by the financial aid which is much better than I expected!

Man! I am rejected again. Every college I have applied so far has rejected me with the only reply, " We are confident you will find a college experience that will allow you to achieve your academic and personal goals, and we wish you all the best in education."
Like what do they mean? So far the colleges that I have found, have all denied me and now, where am I gonna go? There’s a place called “purgatory”. I think it makes sense that I will end up at Khan Academy of Natural Science. Like what guys!
For the second, I have participated in a freaking International Mathematics Olympiad, which takes a great toll out of you to just participate. But, more than that I have won a freaking “silver” medal. And, now, in the end, I am rejected.
waitlisted.
4.6 GPA
4.0 GPA
loads of extracurriculars

good essay and didn’t submit sat score
Got full ride to UNC so probably not going to try the waitlist.
@singingbear and @katedagreat congratulations. Did you both receive emails about the Presidential Scholars a month or so ago?
@toomanykiddos I got the presidential scholar and did get an email about a month ago asking me if i was interested
@libarts123 Can you tell us your Stats?
@npcollegeguy that’s rough. I’m sure it looks bleak right now, but it sounds like you’re not through with the process, so maybe your perfect college is still to come and the rejections just make your decision easier! And Khan Academy would be lucky to have you! …but I’m sure it won’t come to that
rejected
