4 rejections (MIT, F&M, Macalester, Colgate)
1 waitlist (URichmond)
:sunglasses:

Did anybody else get the ā€œGame Changerā€ email back in late January in which Colgate, perhaps overwhelmed by the sheer number of applications, was asking if youā€™d like to convert your regular decision application into an ā€œearly decisionā€ application?

Rooting for you. I have 6 more schools left but Iā€™m not hopefulā€¦ Hopefully we get accepted somewhere.

They even left ED2 open until March 1. After I got rejected from my first ED2 school (Colby) I considered applying ED2 to Colgate!

Good luck with URichmond. One of my former students is a senior at Richmond this year. She loves it there. Fingers crossed for you that you come off the waitlist and can enroll for the Fall 2021!

Iā€™m sorry for the news. My daughter got similar letters from other schools. Itā€™s always hard to hear, especially as a parent too. We applied to schools for my 12 year old son with learning disabilities and also got similar letters about how he wasnā€™t chosen. Now the job and internship rejection letters are coming which are even harsher. Hang in there and best wishes!

Our son was waitlisted with high stats and solid ECā€™s. This was expected by now, given their increase in applications and fortunately he has other good options. I do feel like the class of 2021 has gotten the very short end of the stick in this yearā€™s college admissionsā€¦not a good year to be applying to highly selective schools.

Thatā€™s quite the rejection letter. The guy sounds quite the narcissist. ā€œThis hurts us more than it hurts you.ā€ Didnā€™t anyone else in the admissions office read it for tone?

A message of possible hope. My husband is a son of illiterate farmers. Heā€™s currently a professor at Colgate. This admission year makes it extra hard. Maybe focus on schools that are need-blind to foreigners, such as Amherst. (There are others like Berea College that cover entire cost, if admitted) I do hope things work out for you this year.

Sounds like weā€™re in a very similar situation, itā€™s so frustrating. Hopefully we get better news from his remaining schools, fingers crossed. Best of luck to your son
