**Colgate RD 2021**

I wonder if they were shipped next day air or two day since they were just mailed yesterday and people are already getting them. If next day, then I guess my nephew didn’t get in because he did not get anything in the mail today :frowning:

Still nothing- I live in Westchester, NY

@csb5150 Clearwater, Florida. Thank you everyone!

NJ i havent seen anything in my mailbox :frowning:

@Pugslife I love pugs!

guessing rejection letters come after acceptances… since they don’t need priority mail to deliver those…

I literally live 40 mins away from Colgate and haven’t received my package yet (found out I was accepted through email mishap) and think it’s hilarious that people in Florida have received their package before me who lives so close.

At the very least they should tell people which way they are sending it-- “Look for your Next Day Air FedEx envelope!” or something like that. Whoever gets in and ends up working in the admissions office, please plead this case for future Raider applicants.

i live in northern new jersey and still haven’t gotten anything. Worried it will be a rejection or waitlist.

If no one has heard in the tri state area, they may just not have been delivered yet–I doubt everyone was rejected from NY, NJ, and CT.

fingers crossed

My family and I have been waiting so patiently and I am hoping that I get in because I really fell in love with Colgate when I visited! Good luck to everybody as well and let’s all hope for good news in the coming days! I am from NY by the way and have not received any mail from the admissions office.

I’m dying and can’t focus on my work because of all these results are coming out… D:

Accepted from Missouri (I was so excited when I saw the big packet on my doorstep). I absolutely loved Colgate but unfortunately, they didn’t give me any aid so I’m unable to attend. Congrats to everyone who got in it’s a great school!

@mo2021 congrats! My nephew is in MO too, so I suppose he didn’t get in. Bummer!

Nothing in the mail in Miami, Florida. :confused: still waiting.

Here’s what I’m thinking. For people far from New York, they use FedEx express so they get it quicker if it’s an acceptance. For people closer to New York they get acceptances through mail. Rejections waitlists always through mail. Idk I could be wrong

what about for people in southern maryland?

@redpoodles, I noticed that your D was waitlisted a few years back at colgate. did she happen to get off the wL?
