Waitlisted.
Has anyone seen stats for how many accepted/rejected/waitlisted? I know applications were up 13% this year.
my D got accepted asAlumni Memorial Scholar. 4.0 with 1490 SAT. Great essays and interview. Lots of leadership in EC’s. Took 8 of 9 AP’s her school offered. She’s happy but quite likely to go to Bowdoin. She was waitlisted at Williams and also at Bates. The Bates WL was a surprise. I think Bates and other schools try to manage the yield percentage by WL people they’re pretty sure will go elsewhere. @Bostonmom8 I think your child may have been a “victim” of Colgate using a similar strategy. Alas, most of these elite colleges play the US News rankings game, trying to increase average scores but not be used as a backup which hurts the yield. That’s my two cents.
Does anyone know where the class Facebook page is???
Rejected (posting so next years applicants can see)
32 ACT
4.31 weighted
9 APs, 4 honors
I did tour but I felt Colgate was a reach for me
lots of leadership and community service but I feel my supplement was weak so don’t save those until the last minute or take them lightly!!
My other decisions
Accepted: Binghamton, Stony Brook (3k merit), Elon (fellows with 6k merit), Stonehill (25k merit), Le Moyne (25k merit)
Waitlisted: Boston University
waiting for 8 more schools
Accepted and honestly shocked. 1420 SAT, 4.1/5 GPA, 6 APs. I think my supplement essay was really wonderful and my CA essay had lots of personality in it, but I really thought Colgate’s focus was mostly academic and I don’t feel like I met those standards. Very excited, but I may go to Pepperdine instead. I got lots of money there, whereas I got none to Colgate. Perhaps it was the two medical internships I had? Not sure. Regardless, very excited! Their ED acceptance rate is 48%, so with an overall acceptance rate of 28%, their RD acceptance is 8%. Totally insane.
Accepted!
32 ACT Superscore
4.7 GPA
I have no idea whether or not my CA essay was good but I put a lot of time into it as well as the supplement.
I felt Colgate was a mid-reach school for me and was very pleased when I got in. Apparently, it was more competitive this year? Do you guys agree with that???
Does anyone know if admitted students receive T-Shirts?
Would international students who get accepted receive mail?
Accepted!

Just curious, how do you know you got into the Fellows program at Elon? We are waiting to hear and thought the decisions were coming our April 1.
Thanks!
S Wait Listed. ACT 30, GPA 89 High Honors 2 AP classes, strong EC and reference letters - we are thrilled and surprised… Should we remain optimistic for him to get accepted off the wait list? Congrats to those accepted!
I agree
@eunoiase so sorry! Hope you applied to other schools you can get to be excited about
Hey I got waitlisted

790 SAT II Math 2
3.9 GPA
10 APs/Honors Classes throughout high school
VERY strong extracurriculars in the field I planned to major in
Good Essay? idk I guess that’s objective?
Do you guys think I have a chance of getting in because Colgate was my #1 choice? Also I’ve been rejected or waitlisted at every school I’ve applied to thus far and Colgate was IMO my reach! Tough year I guess
