Its weird because the letters aren’t even out yet
@weirdmc so…you got in??
Did anybody else receive that email?
I certainly did not
@weirdmc It looks like you’re a Benton Scholar! Congrats!
@weirdmc I got that same email except instead of Benton scholar, it said Alumni Memorial Scholar. So I would assume that is email confirmation saying you got in as a Benton scholar!
Do you guys mind posting your stats please? 
I got the same email but for Alumni Memorial scholar, not benton scholar.
ACT: 35, GPA ~3.9 UW, 4.1 W. A few decent leadership positions at my school for ECs, but I haven’t won any global competitions or anything like that. Thought my common app essay was pretty good, and my Colgate supplement came out very well for a last minute thrown together one.
Also, I definitely wasn’t expecting this because I never got around to visiting and didn’t demonstrate any interest, so I’m surprised they wanted to use one of these spots on me.
@redpoodles thank you!!
@musicbooksandtea congrats!
@douggy91 that’s wonderful!
Haha no wonder I haven’t got anything!
Congrats!
SAT: 2280
GPA: unweighted 97 / weighted 101
AP: all 4s in 8 AP classes
EC: couple leadership positions/ science related clubs
Essay: i though my essay was alright
@douggy91 do they tell AMS scholars and Benton Scholars early or something…is this like a likely letter?
everybody who has got that email today has got awards…hmm
I also am a Benton Scholar!!
@bintamira stats?
I got the Benton Scholars email. So random, but much appreciated since I thought I wouldn’t be accepted. What’s the difference between Benton and AMS?
I received that email as well, with reference to being an Alumni Memorial Scholar.
ACT 34
GPA 4.0 UW / 4.76 W
AP: One 4, Five 5s and currently enrolled in four AP courses
EC: 4 yr varsity swimming, captain. Founder and president ornithology club. other random things
I wrote my Colgate essay about the book you thought everyone in the class should read and it came out well. My common app essay was average at best.
ACT: 32, GPA: 3.9, I am from a small schoolso we don’t have any AP’s but we do have honors. I have done a lot of work internationally and do a lot of work with diversity training so I’m assuming that’s what did it. But I am so happy!!
Do you people think it’s safe to assume that if I haven’t got anything today, then I most probably won’t be getting any form of aid from Colgate?
Btw, did y’all apply for aid??
@intstudent2021 I did not apply for aid. Both AMS and Benton are automatic consideration when you apply. I would not count yourself out for aid just yet; Colgate has a variety of other aid programs.
