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

Accepted! I live in Hudson Valley, NY.

@mxl2015 Just checked my portal and omg I have been accepted! It’s strange that I still haven’t received the big envelope from Colgate though.
On my portal it says: “Congratulations! Our admission decision letters have been sent and we trust that you have received your decision. We were delighted to offer you admission into the Colgate community.”
And btw I am an international student.

If my portal is still unchanged, does that mean I am rejected?

can anyone guesstimate how many applicants are waitlisted?

I have the congratulations message on the portal but have not received anything in the mail yet. Also admitted to Bucknell - does anyone have a view of which school is better? Thanks.

Daughter was accepted in NJ sat 2160, gpa 3.92 unweighted, 4.2 weighted class rank 3/330, activities volunteer year round at animal shelter, captain academic team. She is excited to go to admitted student day April 8th.

@finnegan22‌ Depends on what you’re planning to major, but overall, I think Colgate is ranked higher but that really won’t help you with much.

Accepted NY!! Mail has not come yet but checked my portal and it was up!
2100 SAT 4.0gpa
730 Bio M, 720 Math I
Congrats to everyone else and goodluck!!

Son checked portal and ACCEPTED! Hoping envelope is in mail today.
Basic stats:
Ohio, private school (selective and high-achieving)
ACT-31 (best one sitting score, but Colgate superscores and he sent all 3 sittings so maybe 32-33?)
AP-Latin, US History (didn’t take class but took test (4); currently taking Psych and Gov’t
EC’s-mostly sports but plays 3, Captain, academic and league/state awards

@finnegan22‌ My son was denied to Bucknell (although his portal is showing they never received his mid-year report, which is not true because his school shows they received it) but accepted to Colgate, and our opinion was Colgate is more selective. Bucknell’s denial letter stated “largest and and strongest applicant pools in history” but their acceptance rate would still have been in the 20+% range.

Thanks.

Why isn’t my portal updated yet

My S portal remains the same an unchanged. Have not received anything in the mail yet in NC.

Nothing in CA for me yet

D is waitlisted. Portal is the same. Skinny envelope. Stats are 32 ACT/ 4.2 GPA excellent everything (like everyone else!) Did not visit or interview.

Congrats to all with the big envelope!

Castigations – Sorry for the late response. It was received in the mail yesterday afternoon.

Accepted!!! 3.6 GPA, SAT M+CR = 1500 and pretty awesome EC’s. International student, just got the mail by FedEx. and my portal changed.

Well, I’m glad that I have been accepted elsewhere because the lack of financial aide that I received is paying for the Whoopi Goldberg performance…

FedEx package arrived last night in NorCal. Now I know why the school costs so much.

Got the post today. Accepted as AMS. This is my first acceptance so I am pretty euphoric. I am from Pakistan btw.

Mail today in Ohio! Big envelope with Glossy picture calendar along with a paper one, April accepted student visit info, academic honor code, tuition/financial aide info ($0 for us-boo!) and enrollment agreement to accept/decline.

Figured out his ACT superstore was 33. I think his hook was that an admissions officer came to his high school last fall and he was the only student signed up so basically had a private interview. He had already visited campus and loved it…only place he wanted spirit wear from out of 12 schools. Oh, and he wore his Colgate sweatshirt that day!
