Colby College RD Class of 2020 Discussion

Waitlisted. Congrats to those accepted!

Wait listed- wow, looks like a 33 act and a 3.97 unweighted gpa is not good enough to get into any New England liberal arts schools…

Waitlisted. This actually makes me hopeful, for all the decisions I got so far were rejections.
(I’m also an international student asking for huge fin. aid)

Waitlist with a 33 ACT and 4.0 UW. jeez

Rejected.
I’m happy I had the chance though and that my app was considered in the first place. Advice for next year’s batch: * Show interest!* that means doing the interview, calling, emailing, whatever you have to do. Just be genuine, if it’s your top school, make them aware of it! While Colby wasn’t my top choice, I would’ve been honored either way.

Congrats to all of you, for those who were accepted, and the strength of those who weren’t. We all end up where we’re meant to be, that’s a fact. Have a happy Fall guys!

Accepted with 2190 and 3.9 UW :slight_smile: Anyone know when financial aid info will be released?

@erwinschrodinger Where are u attending?

Accepted! International student with 4.2 GPA and 2080 SAT. I did visit and was offered an interview, so that may have upped my chances. Congrats to all those who got in!

@MYAHMQ I have no clue… I’m waiting on Stanford, Ivies, NYU and USC, I’m also on the waitlist for UCLA and Swarthmore. I’m not withdrawing in the hopes of getting into those schools though, I’ve been admitted to the university of Toronto, which i would attend over Colby, so no point keeping my spot. Do you know where you will be attending?

In with 4.2 GPA and 33 ACT!

Honestly I showed absolutely no interest, applied very last minute, and sent my transcripts 10 days late so tbh I’m not entirely sure how much interest is accounted for. I’m honestly very surprised I got in.

Either way, congrats to all who got in, and for those who didn’t, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect place for you.

I am honestly so disheartened right now. My grandfather and my Father both attended Colby, and I was just outright denied. I can’t even handle this right now, I feel so horrible. I decided to write a song, so that the college can at least feel the emotions that are surging through me right now. I hope you’ll listen to it.

@OGkushadmit2020 what are your stats?

I’m only pretty salty. 3.77 UW 4.68/5 W 34 ACT. I visited 3 times to be sure I wanted to apply ED, got an interview and applied ED, deferred. Then wrote a whole long paragraph on my file explaining how much I wanted to go and why. Figured I’d have a chance and maybe get wait listed but I guess not. I guess that’s what I get for falling in love with a school who in recent years has been going try hard to increase app numbers by removing app few and supplement. Oh well

2220 SAT, 3.85 Unweighted GPA. 5 AP scores 4 or better, Track Captain, Black Belt in Karate, Eagle Scout, and Musician.

Waitlisted… 2190 SAT 33 ACT 4.0 weighted GPA. Got waitlisted at Wesleyan and then not even an hour later again at Colby :frowning: kind of disappointed

Wow - accepted w/ 31 ACT and 3.6 GPA. Did not demonstrate much interest, but very grateful and surprised.

Here is how I describe being rejected:
Referred, rebounded, rocketed, rebooted, refused, repelled, rekt, relinquished, rejuvenated, relapsed, redacted, reduced, reused, and recycled from Colby

What can I do if it shows server error all the time???

Waitlisted with a 1950 SAT. Does anyone have any waitlist statistics?

@kfromgermany they are crazy low. Something like 6 out of a few hundred
