<p>Oh, PKWsurft - I'd trade my offer for yours any day. =S</p>
<p>Congrat, jiess! Does this move Colgate up on your list? How's the financial pkg? Did you have a happy little note on the bottom?</p>
<p>Thank you cadence! Yes, Colgate moves up quite a bit on my list =) Not just because of the grant, but because of the note as well.</p>
<p>Does anyone mind sharing theirs?
Here is mine: </p>

Your entire application spoke to your courage, motivation, and passion both in and out of the classroom. You have become a true role model in the face of adversity. We are in awe of your independent and tenacious spirit which has led to your academic and personal excellence. We hope to see you shining in the same ways at Colgate next year. Congratulations!

<p>Jiess - Congratulations!!! Lol, Colgate is such an amazing school. I have my admission to Amherst but I still keep checking my mail everyday, hoping that I could be accepted as an AMS at Colgate like all the other outstanding applicants here. To be accepted as an AMS is truly amazing. What other schools did you apply to? Being accepted as an AMS, you definitely have a great shot at Amherst too if that's where you want to go. Once again, Congrats and good luck with all your other schools!</p>
<p>So you know. ALL accepted letters get that personal note.</p>
<p>@ ticklemepink - lol, thanks, I know, that's why I asked if anyone would share theirs =) And I know that Mr Ross writes notes on letters that get send out with the viewbooks, too. I'm not about to think "oh my gosh! a handwritten note! Wow, I must be amazing!" .. heh.</p>
<p>PKWsurf - thank you =) I applied to a lot of LACs, Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Wellesley and Grinnell. Anyway, someone from my school went to Colgate last year, and according to her:

"I really hope you come, you'll have an amazing time - I promise everyone who comes absolutely loves it here!"

Which just makes this package even better. Best of luck to you too!</p>
<p>Hey =)
Am from Pakistan, got the acceptance letter a few days back.
Got an awesome financial aid package and i'm extremely extremely grateful!! =D Also, I think Colgate has the best and sweetest admin ever..the handwritten note on the bottom of my acceptance letter really impressed me. Love them loads!
Plus i was asking for a huge amount of fin aid and had no hope of being accepted anywhere..but m really really thankful to them.
Plan to major in economics..=D</p>
<p>And one thing that has been at the back of my mind since a long long time..i come from Pakistan, and given the current global situation, how easy will it be for me to settle there?</p>
<p>Free:</p>
<p>Congrat!</p>
<p>Econ is a strong department at Colgate, so its a great place to study. In today's economic enviroment, everyone in the USA is focused on the local and global ecomony (i.e., jobs) and trade. As an international, I'm sure your perspective will be welcomed.</p>
<p>Suggest you e-mail admissions and inquire if there are current students who are internationals that would share with you thier experiences in Hamilton, NY.</p>
<p>I'm getting very jealous of all of you on this thread. I got an early write admission from Swarthmore today and I already received an early write admission last friday from Amherst college and I'm extremely happy. But still, I like Colgate more and I haven't heard anything from them. It's driving me crazy. Congrats to everyone who received the AMS scholar acceptance. It is truly remarkable.</p>
<p>Wow, PKW! Are you sure you're not a lurking Colgate admissions rep trying to convince us all?? :) Just joking! It sure seems that if you're accepted at Amherst AND Swat, that Colgate can't be far behind! We're keeping fingers crossed for you!</p>
<p>Lol thanks Cadence. I can assure you that I'm just a nervous high school senior who truly loves colgate. My sister just came home for spring break from colgate and she's says the campus is so beautiful right now. Hopefully I'll be hearing from them soon!</p>
<p>Oh, BTW, I forgot to wish everyone Happy Colgate Day yesterday! (Friday 13th)</p>
<p>jusayswhat- haha sorry, i guess i don't get on here very much, but i'm from charleston. you?</p>
