Welcome!!
Also, RD decisions are MAILED on March 20th, according to their website.
Thank you, @bluenette23. Do you know when accepted student day is? We’d have to get a hotel so I’d like to plan ahead.
March 20th can’t come soon enough
@redpoodles agh I wouldn’t plan in advance… I’m not a superstitious person but that seems like a jinx to me lol
@bluenette23 Ha! I’m not superstitious. I’m the parent who has to take off work and get dog sitters to get there–it would be really nice to know the dates it could be should she get in. Most schools have them posted so I can see the overlaps for most of them…for some reason Colgate likes to be secretive.
@a20171 THANK YOU!! They must have put this up fairly recently. 
“Secretive”?
For those who will be accepted, there is more to be said for a hand-written congratulations letter from the Dean, don’t you think?
Go 'gate!
Not secretive any more! Dates are posted.
Can someone post a link to where they say the release date? I can’t seem to find it.
@mgb1311 I do not know the exact date but last year people got it in the mail around March 19th if you are domestic!
so maybe 18th this year

“Regular decision application update: Decisions will be sent on Monday, March 20. 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.”
^ so does that mean that we will know if we got accepted/rejected on march 20, or that they deliver decisions on march 20?
^ They will be placed in the mail on March 20, and you will find out when your mailman delivers your envelope to you, which could be 2-7 days later depending on where you live.
I noticed the Admissions Portal page changed today.
A rather ominous message:
“Colgate’s Office of Admission has appreciated the contact we have had with you through your college search. We understand that you are eager to learn the outcome of your application. The application review phase is now complete. We plan to communicate our admission decisions soon. We do not display decisions on the portal and we do not give out decisions over the phone. We thank you again for your interest in Colgate and give you our best wishes for your college career.”
My D’s changed as well. This happened to ED applicants too. One person said he got the change on Friday and his letter on Monday. So I guess we’ll be hearing soon, how soon depending on how fast we get mail from NY.
PS I agree that the way the message is written sounds a little ominous. I’m guessing they are going for neutral because it has to cover everybody. But it sounds like a “goodbye you’re not hired” letter.
Hopefully they’ll be sent out soon. I need some responses to start coming in from colleges, so nervous!
If you look at last year’s RD thread, the decisions were mailed approx. 1 week after the same message about being done with applications appeared on the website. They were mailed when Colgate said they would be mailed, so I wouldn’t count on receiving decisions on Monday necessarily. Of course, what they do this year could be completely different from what they did last year with mailing the decisions.
Did anyone here have constant contact with C’Gate? I did email them once for a query I had but didn’t keep in constant touch since they do not take demonstrated interest into account.
