Accepted! I received the email on Saturday. Chosen as a Benton Scholar!
32.25 ACT and 100.03 GPA
4 5’s on AP Exams
Salutatorian
Accepted: Harvard (likely letter), Boston University
Waitlisted: Colby
Rejected: none so far, but Ivy day is impending so…
Wish everyone the best of luck, and don’t get discouraged by a few people learning of their admissions decision early!!
@IvyLeague6715 I’m guessing you’re going to Deny if Harvard comes through right? (It will 99%)
huh… so i’m international and i’ve gotta wait idek a month? until my acceptance/rejection/waitlist?? thats depressing…i kinda wish they’d just use a portal
Although I really, really like Colgate. Harvard is Harvard, and to get a likely letter (and a phone call from a Harvard Admissions Officer) is a once in a lifetime opportunity. So yes, if Harvard gave me an adequate financial aid package then I would be heading to Cambridge this fall.
@lemondrop2 If you’re international then they will email you if you’re waitlisted/rejected. So when they mail out acceptances on the 20th and you don’t receive an email from them, you can assume you got in.
^geez, thats really stressful haha
Tell me about it. Does anyone know what time they’re mailing acceptances out?
omg, tomorrows the 20th…
they didn’t give us an exact time but im sure they will tweet it tomorrow
how long will the shipping time be for people on the east coast? more specifically, MD?
Will the letters arrive by fedex or regular mail?
So for internationals, would they send waitlist and rejection emails all at once tomorrow?
@ghvan99 people received them over a few hours last year this might have been just because some took longer to arrive
@bintamira @weirdmc Hey guys! Man I had no idea there was a Colgate RD page. Found out i’m a Benton scholar this past Friday too! It’s so cool that one day we could be in the same travel program together but we don’t know each other yet! Do you guys know how many people are in the Benton program? 'Gate sent out this adorable e-mail titled “sorry we got a little excited” and explain why they sent some emails out early…maybe they didn’t mean to send things out so early? idk, but maybe that’ll help explain some stuff?
deactivates email account
There are probably so many intl apps bc it was free and I actually want Colgate now… ahhhh
I just spoke to someone who got accepted via email last year (International) so now I’m really confused about how and when the decision will come out? Are we sure decisions are being emailed out today
This is a lot more stressful that my last relationship breakup which speaks volumes…
i went through last year’s RD thread but couldn’t come to any conclusions as to how international students receive their decisions… really really stressed out haha
@neuromaniac YES its so stressing :(( wonder why they dont use the portal
