Colgate Class of 2021 Early Decision Thread.

I agree! btw I was just thinking about something. As internationals we asume to get rejected today by mail, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense. This would mean that international rejects are the first to know. I think it would be more logical that they sent the rejection mail around the time americans get their rejection letter (so wednesday-friday)… Does anyone know whether they sent out the rejects mails the day they mailed the other letters last year?

I’m not sure exactly how they handle the international acceptances/rejections; however, last year I do know that they mailed the US acceptance letters on a Friday through the USPS but then waited until the following Monday to send the rejection letters. So people that didn’t get in, had to wait another long week before getting their letters. It seems unfair to drag it out for kids at this time of year. They claim to have mailed everything on the same day but we all have the postmarked letters to prove it.

International student from UK just got email saying I’ve been deferred to RD

Does any international student receive the rejection letter? I do not receive any email.

My dad got a notification about an hour ago saying that FedEx is sending me a package from Hamilton ny that weighs .5 pounds. Do you guys think .5 pounds is heavy enough to be an acceptance? If anyone’s curious, it says it will arrive on Wednesday, I’m from the Midwest, and no, I don’t know how he set it up to get a notification, especially since it’s made out in ny name.

If I don’t get a notification from FedEx, does that mean I was most likely deferred or rejected?

No, I think my father set up his fedex account to notify him whenever a package is being sent to our address. I don’t think not receiving a message means anything

Hey any West coast people who signed up for the Fedex notifications get anything?

I just attempted to sign up for Fedex notifications and maybe it’s just me being an idiot but I just gave up lol I’m in upper NJ about 3 hours and 30 min away from Hamilton…does anyone think the snow might delay the decisions a little?

I couldn’t figure out FedEx either. Oh well, it might be USPS for me. I hope the snow didn’t affect anything because I am so anxious to find out! I keep hoping it will come tomorrow.

Applicant from Hawaii. So FedEx delivery manager won’t accept my apartment number, so I’m unable to sign up for it, which is pretty eggy. Letters were supposed to have been mailed out this morning, so I guess I’ll know by Friday. Sick.

Rejected here - international

Rejected

Wondering what people think of my chances: 2240 old sat (800 math), 3.6 weighted GPA, 3.1 unweighted. I had a terrible freshman and sophomore year, but got a 4.6 GPA my junior year. Im also Hispanic and have really good recs, and the lacrosse coach wants me

Do they email rejections?

yes. for internationals, they reject hrough E-Mail

@sahil123 @africanApplicant I am very sorry to hear that. I’m sure your college search will be successful despite this setback!

Sorry to hear that. I think it is safe to say that if you are international students and do not receive rejected or defer letter, you probably get in. It is just so strange. All my friends get rejected or deferred, which make me more nervous.

@pinatsu4 Yeah. I just think I asked more money from them. Anyways I am applying ED 2 to Reed now. Best of Luck to you all.

I just got a rejected this morning. Quite sad, but still move on guys. Keep our fingers crossed.
