Colby College RD Class of 2020 Discussion

My son is a freshman at Colby and is a Presidential Scholar. Nice benefits go along with this honor. He is doing research , he receives a small scholarship , he as had dinner with President Greene ,is taking free guitar lessons etc. Colby is a fantastic institution and he loves it.My daughter attends a large school (Cornell) and while I know it’s a great school , it does not offer learning at the same personal level that Colby does.

I received my early acceptance yesterday as a Presidential Scholar!

@jmreilly97 Wow congrats. Are you an international?

Im also fron ghana

@lauraazumah I’m from Nigeria! Were you accepted already

No I don’t think decisions are out yet for RD. Is Colby your first choice? @snow30

@lauraazumah hmm, naah Bates is. Was deferred from ED2 bates. But colby is one of my top choices… U?

@snow30 no I’m from New York

Though I’m an international applicant, I got an email yesterday being offered an interview with one of the deans of admission

@sgilmore might be a good sign. Good luck on your interview!

Colby is not my top choice but i would still love to go there @snow30

Bowdoin is the 18th - predicting the same for Colby!

Colby RD international applicant here :slight_smile: when do admissions decisions come out?

@RamonaFlowers I don’t know if anyone knows for sure… I guess last year decisions were online March 21st, but we’re guessing/predicting they could be the 18th (or very close) this year?

thank you and hope u get in :slight_smile:

@RamonaFlowers Thank you, I hope you do too! :slight_smile:

Has anyone called the admissions office?

@snow30 thank you! I hope you get in!

International student here too! I was not offered an admission!! Looks like a bad sign!!

What do you mean you weren’t offered admission? Did you already get your decision?
