Applicant from Hawaii here. Last Thursday the portal was normal, and Friday night it had that message. If they sent out our letters on Friday, then we should know between Wednesday and Saturday. Hopefully they got all of our letters out on Friday.
I hope so too!! I’m an applicant from New Jersey 
best of luck to everyone! It’s so hard to get through each school day wondering if there’s mail at home for me lol
How about international students? Do anyone know will they send rejected emails on this Friday or ealier? Good luck everyone!
Hey everyone I noticed on colgates website an admissions update said that they will send out decisions on the 12th which contradicts the portal. When do you all think we will hear back?
@NSRAJA Whaaaat can you post the link to the update?
omg I’m so confused but yeah I found this message here: http://www.colgate.edu/admission-financial-aid/apply
Early decision I application update: Decisions will be sent on Monday, December 12. Applicants with domestic addresses will have their decisions sent via U.S. postal mail or a courier delivery service. Applicants with non-U.S. mailing addresses will have their decisions sent via a global courier delivery service or e-mail.
I guess then 12 December is the DAY when people who got rejected gets E-Mail. Just wish that you don’t get an email 
Check last year’s thread. My recollection is that acceptances were sent via FedEx (courier delivery service), and deferrals and rejections were sent by USPS. That’s for US students. You can sign up for fedex alerts in case that’s the courier used…
@gardenstategal Yeah, thats right. What I collected from previous year threads was that International students who got rejected get an E-Mail and the ones that get accepted get admission package through FedEx.
This doesn’t really sound right…on Friday they said they would communicate their decision over the next week (this week). I doubt they’d wait until next Monday to mail everything out
Yeah that’s what I’m confused about too but I guess since it is an official announcement regarding admissions we will have to wait and see 
Lets hope for the best. @cym549
On the applicant portal it first said ‘within the next week’ and now it says ‘soon’ so I bet it will be the 12th of December!
Decision letters were mailed yesterday.
Really!!! @Barksdale . how did you know. And if decision letters were mailed yesterday then rejection emails should also be sent the same day.
Edit
Sorry but they weren’t mailed yesterday. Colgate hosted an admissions Q and A on twitter where they said the letters would be sent out on December 12th.
Yeah I saw that on the Q&A too. This wait is killing me!
@Barksdale Why say they were mailed yesterday?
@pinatsu4 I received information to that point, however I don’t want to speak for the office of Colgate Admissions or get anyone’s hopes up/down.
