Hey guys. Post your profiles here and feel free to discuss.

Are u also an international applicant ?@pinatsu4
I don’t want to post any ECs or awards because I don’t want people to figure out who I am, but I will say I am from New England.
I’m surprised there isn’t much activity for Colgate, since other schools I am interested in have a lot of ED posters!
Hi! I applied ED I and haven’t been active on here for awhile, but I noticed that the applicant portal has changed!! I’m freaking out because it says decisions will be out within the next week ahhhhh
Am I mistaken or is this super early?
Yeah. I just logged in on my application portal. Quite nervous. Are there any internationals on this thread??
Oh Jesus. Seeing these stats I feel inadequate. I applied ED, sent out my application on the 15th. My whole app was finalized, but they didn’t process my CSS Noncustodial PROFILE exemption request until yesterday. We should all know within the week though yeah?
Yes.Btw post your stats. don’t be so pessimistic. You must have great things going for yourself @lowkeycole
From what I can gather from previous threads, Colgate sends an email if one is rejected or waitlisted but the ones who have been admitted get a package through post from Colgate itself. So I wish nobody of us gets an Email from Colgate in the next week 
@lowkeycole The danger of looking at sites like these is that other applicants’ stats can make you feel like a lesser applicant, but don’t! I don’t think they reflect an entire application. Looking at some other potential schools’ current applicant stats in made me feel exactly the same way.
I worked hard on my essays and had ECs that were meaningful to me. I hope that those help me more than standardized tests scores do. Numbers aren’t always indicative of intelligence. Colleges understand that.
You are totally right @pinatsu4 . I’ve understood this fact over the time. College Confidential is a great website but we should not be demotivated by seeing stats of others. Numbers are not everything. Recoms and essays have substantial contribution too in admission decisions.
Cheer up and hope for the best.
Has anyone heard anything? I wonder if the letters were mailed on Friday when the portal changed.
@pinatsu4 No. Not a word. Do you know someone in Colgate? Maybe he/she can tell us when the decisions are gonna come.
@sahil123 No, I have no contacts.
So nervous right now.
I just uploaded a thread on Colgate’s reddit thread asking about notification dates. @pinatsu4
@sahil123 @pinatsu4 I hope that they mailed the letters on Friday; I would think so, considering that it says decisions were expected to be out within this week. I think it just depends on how far away you are from campus.
So that means most likely by Friday some of us would be getting notifications??
