Colgate Class of 2020 RD Decision Thread

Not sure if that is the case. litlhoward2468 said he received a waitlist notification today in NJ-trying to find out how he was notified (I’m also in NJ nervously awaiting the Fedex truck).

I have got the default message about releasing admissions letters soon, and I have the checklist that seems as though it’s for new students. I haven’t checked with FedEx… I’m hoping it will be waiting for me when I get home. NC with a 34 ACT.

are rejections emailed also? or just waitlists

My son got his acceptance package via regular mail this morning. We live in Central NY. Good luck to you all.

I was just rejected. Had the checklist viewable on the portal. From MA, 2100 SAT and a 3.7 UW gpa

Sorry about the rejection clairew. So we all can prepare-did you receive your notice by Fedex? Regular mail? Email?

@clairew Was it in the mail or an email?

I feel like getting rejections or waitlists from regular mail sucks more than getting them from emails for some reasons. I am so nervous!!!

It came from USPS. With the normal mail for the day

Just got acceptance via USPS with the rest of normal mail

Strange…already got our regular mail, nothing from Colgate. No Fedex yet either. Pretty odd if Fedex is slower than regular mail…

Where do you live? If you’re far from NY you might get it tomorrow.

i live just 3 - 4 hours from colgate. still waiting!!!

For those that were asking, the waitlist came in through snail mail. USPS I believe. I’m a little surprised that I was waitlisted instead of straight up rejected though haha. Good luck to everyone else!

Just got waitlisted from Northern NJ. Letter came in the mail from USPS. 1990 SAT, 3.6 UW and 3.9 W from a very competitive HS. Not the best outcome but still hopeful. Congrats to everyone accepted and to those rejected, don’t worry, you’re all talented people who will end up in a great place.

D got her acceptance package today! We are excited. FedEx about 1 hour ago. Live in the NY suburbs. Nice touch having the head of admissions sending a personalized note.

Waitlisted in NY. 30 ACT, 3.75 UW/3.9 W. Better than a rejection, I guess

Congrats to those that got accepted

I’m out of town this week, so I won’t be able to check my mail…
Anyways, on the Colgate website under New Students -> First Year Students it says “Congratulations on joining the Class of 2020! Here’s everything you need to get ready for your college career.” And underneath re all these links. Does anyone else have this? What does this mean?

Rejected in NJ. 4.0 W GPA, 2180 Sats, many extracurriculars- wouldn’t have gone anyway, but still surprised
