***** COLGATE UNIVERSITY 2019 RD Applicants *****

Hi everyone, I know we have a while until decisions come out but here is just a page where people can share their thoughts

Has anyone received AMS yet?

what is AMS?

Whats it say on your guys’ portals?

My portal is just normal and shows what documents have been received. Does yours show something else?

I don’t think the portal will show the admission decision. That comes through the mail. Mine has not changed in over a month or so.

@wishful2015 I was deferred from Early Decision so my portal has the same message I had when they finished my initial application review. It states: 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 within the next week. 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.

@GSikka ur right the portal won’t show it. The last thing you get on there is the message I posted.

Just wondering, where you guys from?

I’m from CT.

@GSikka‌ nice, im from NJ. Is colgate you first choice?

@201lifestyle‌ No, I really want to go to Amherst College or Tufts, but I wouldn’t mind going to Colgate. You?

@Gsikka I wouldn’t mind going to either BC or Colgate… but honestly like Colgate more, just the setting away from many other campuses

Don’t you think it would be nice if they announced all remaining admission decisions on Friday, March 13, the next Colgate Day?

@ddd928 did you get deferred as well? and tht would be a blessing, the suspense is too much to handle

no, ds is a regular decision applicant. I’m afraid the waiting is making him choose the in-state school because he’s tired of not having made a decision yet

Ddd928,

What?! He is “tired” at age 17? You might want to have a word with him, you know, about the virtues of patience.

Good luck with your college search!

Really more tired of answering questions about where he is going and having to say I haven’t heard from 3 of them yet…most assume he was waitlisted so then the explanation of how early decision was binding and regular decisions not out until end of March. He is way more patient than I am!

Did anyone else get an email from Preptalk inviting them to join the Admitted Students chat on April 8? I received it this morning and then received another email from the VP of Colgate apologizing for the error as admission decisions for RD have not been released yet. I don’t know what to make of these emails!!!

@201lifestyle‌ Just to clarify, has it said this since you were informed of your deferral, or is this message more recent?

Yes, also got the email from Preptalk about the April 8 admitted students chat, plus another email about a chat (not mentioning admitted students) on April 16. And then the email from Colgate saying it was all a mistake. Hard to know what to make of it! Did every applicant receive these notices? Or only some of us?

@stillakid‌ @BuckLn‌ I did not receive any of those emails…
