<p>does anyone know how many AMS people they accept early? What percentage of the total that they accept? thanks!</p>
<p>I heard they gave 200 AMS this year, and I live in Hamilton so it's probably accurate. It used to be more like 120, but they increased the number in proportion to growing applications.</p>
<p>It's been 200 for at least a few years.</p>
<p>When do you suppose the other RD applicants (non-AMS) will hear?</p>
<p>last year it was late...like march 31st</p>
<p>accepted AMS also (RD) :) :) i was so psyched when i got the letter!! i thought it was just another magazine or something because it was so early</p>
<p>Congrats to all of you, really.</p>
<p>Yes, only to the TOP 200 applicants that Colgate wants the most. So you guys are really privileged. Of course it's usually designed to keep you away from Cornell and Dartmouth and the like :)</p>
<p>Poeple have found creative ways to use that $5K and present what they've done. A girl did research on the Aboriginal children's artwork in Australia. Another used it to pay for volunteering as a ESL teacher in China for the summer. Another used it to travel around Ireland for a month for his senior thesis research. The possiblities are endless and Colgate trusts that you will find something you love and use that money to explore that passion further. Generally, people use sometimes in their junior year.</p>
<p>in the letter they included average AMS scores...they said 9300 applied total this year and the people accepted into AMS had an average of
-4.01+ UW GPA
-34.4 ACT
-~760/section SAT</p>
<p>eek! thats scary!</p>
<p>Real congs people!</p>
<p>Do these AMS go International?</p>
<p>i got in as an AMS as well. Ck2308 - are those stats supposed to be for this year? the average stats they put with my letter were for 2011 and were slightly different:</p>
<p>GPA 4.08/4.0
SAT 1523 (760V, 763M)
ACT 34.3</p>
<p>woops, yours are right! i was trying to remember off the top of my head but i was off by a bit! those stats are crazyyy</p>
<p>btw, the ad at the top of my window says "Colgate Toothpaste Sample
Request a free sample of Colgate Whitening". coincidence?</p>
<p>How can a GPA be over 4.0 UW?</p>
<p>wait... these stats:</p>
<p>GPA 4.08/4.0
SAT 1523 (760V, 763M)
ACT 34.3</p>
<p>are what they sent you as the avg for the AMS recipients of the 'gate class of 2011 or just the class of 2011?</p>
<p>The room and board given was no per se a scholarship but the way they worded my financial aid package they said that I was getting room and board covered because of my AMS....confusing</p>
<p>Shortlifelived--A+'s are 4.33 on an unweighted scale</p>
<p>breckw--just for AMS recipients for class of 2011..im not sure exactly what the overall stats were</p>
<p>Wow you guys are SCARY smart!</p>
<p>So far only AMS then? The website says decisions will be sent by April 1st. That makes it seem like they should have at least started sending a few out, not only AMS.</p>
<p>i just called colgate and they said we would hear by april 1st. i was really hoping it would be before then! oh well</p>
<p>Hope that the decision will come soon! Have any international applicants got the results yet?</p>
