Thanks @acorn1216! Congrats!!! Are you going to go?
Yes Colgate is behind the times, lol, and are not emailing or making any domestic decisions available online. You have to wait for a packet or letter via snailmail unless you are an international student. Supposedly all of the letters were mailed on Friday, I received mine today.
got in! finally after 5 waitlists I finally get an acceptance from colgate AND with aid! I’m really thankful for this moment right now.
Congrats @weej16 !!
I’m a parent. My daughter is out of town, but she received a letter from Colgate. I’m not allowed to open it, but there appears to be a letter with maybe a postage-paid envelope inside of it. Has anyone else received something like that? Is it a maybe a waitlist form that we have to mail back? If it’s a rejection letter, I don’t think there’d be something else besides the letter. I won’t tell her what it is and will let her open the letter when she gets back this weekend, but the suspense is killing me!
@Panderosa Yeah, I got excited when I saw mine because it had another envelope inside it, but it was for waitlist–whether you accept the spot on the list or not. But I think there is one for acceptance, too. So it’s either WL or accepted!
@admitmemaybe I saw in an earlier post that someone got an acceptance letter with a sticker in it, so I’m guessing my daughter got waitlisted since it doesn’t look like there’s a sticker in the envelope, only another envelope : (
@ponderosa Aw, well there were 8300 applicants this year so even a waitlist is great!! Maybe you’ll be surprised, though, with an acceptance. Good luck to you and your daughter!
Accepted!! 90.18/100 UW 36 ACT at a super competitive high school in NYC. I honestly wasn’t expecting it after being deferred by Hamilton ED hence the username but here I am! Yay!
@admitmemaybe Thanks, but I was able to make out the address on the return envelope now and it’s addressed to “Waiting List Response Form”. Oh well…
@acollegebound198 Thank you! Colgate is only the 2nd school I’ve heard back from (I was waitlisted at Middlebury) so I’m still waiting to find out from Swarthmore, Dartmouth, Brown, RISD and Williams, but I really love Colgate so I don’t know. I’ll have to wait and see!
Ah, I see. Well, it could’ve been worse, at least 
I’m in the same boat so I understand @Panderosa
@acorn1216 I’m waiting on Swarthmore, Dartmouth, and Williams, too!
@admitmemaybe Is there a deadline by which to send in the waitlist form? My daughter’s not going to be back home until Sunday.
Yes, but it is April 18th so there’s plenty of time, and plenty of time to hear back from other colleges @Panderosa
Thank you for sharing! The wait is killing me…
Guys help, the net price calculator gives me an estimated remaining cost of 13k yet the my aid package needs nearly 30k. Is that reasonable grounds to at least appeal the package?
@acorn1216 I was waitlisted at Middlebury as well! Can’t believe that they had 9000 applicants this year
@mp09cc14 You could definitely try but the net price calculator is never a guaranteed thing, and they always disclose that depending on the money available that year you may get more or less than promised. Sorry, I know that that is super disappointing, best of luck and congrats on the acceptance!!
Denied with a 3.8 UW 4.1 W 34 act. Anyone else surprised by their application decision?
@chingchingli I’m also an international waiting… very anxious… wonder what’s taking so long
