I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m an international student and Colgate emailed me like an hour ago affirming to me that I got accepted (because international rejections/waitlists were emailed a couple days ago, so international students that didn’t receive an email then just assumed they got in)
An acceptance in CT. It was in a large envelope delivered via USPS.
Can anyone confirm that a rejection letter does NOT come in a large envelope? Received a large envelope, but son is at practice. Frustrating…
@admitted students, did any of your portals change?
@followonsoundcloud nope
Just got my letter- waistlisted!!! Came in a letter! From Westchester, NY
@sdep4386 was it sent regular mail? In a small or big envelope? We live in Fairfield County (just over the NY border) and nothing came in the mail today
@SoccerMan13 got an acceptance today in westchester!
Just got mine in the PO Box. I’m in! With a great personalized note from the Dean of Admission
int’l student living in LI…i got the email days ago but i just got my acceptance package in the mail…they are VERY generous
DD accepted - Colgate Grant - personalized note - Northwest NJ.
Accepted! Handwritten note was a nice touch 
It came with a calendar and decal too. One of the better acceptance packages I’ve seen so far.
Unfortunately my daughter got the “small” letter in today’s mail. Still very proud of her. Best of luck to all those accepted
