If your portal has not been updated is that hinting towards a rejection/wait list?

Rejected. It’s odd though, it was in my spam folder. And the mailing address was colgateadmission@colgate.edu
their address on their site is admission@colgate.edu

Is there any chance this is not genuine or am I just getting my hopes up :((((((((

@laveyancrow‌ Are you an international student? For what I understand, all decisions came by mail for US students and for international students rejections came via email and acceptance via regular mail. (My case, I’m an international student who got accepted and received the news via regular mail)

Worked at my grandmother’s OBGYN clinic for many hours, cleaned forceps etc. sorted blood by types, literally babysat the patients’ kids while they got checkups (150 hours)

I’m indian.

For the first 100 words in my essay I wrote about different brands of toothpaste.

The DoA wrote directly on my acceptance letter:

“Those who know you commented on your motivation, diligence, and maturity. It is clear that you have left a lasting impression on your teachers and peers.”

Thanks for the recs, Spanish, bio and psych teachers!

Waitlisted

4.0 UW, 4.24 W (fairly easy school)
1910 SAT
7/9 possible Honors credits 11th grade and took the only Honors course 1st semester (school doesn’t offer AP)

Decent EC’s
I think my application was missing the second letter of rec, which definitely didn’t help.

Pretty bummed about this waitlist as Colgate was my top choice. If I don’t get into Cornell I may consider putting my name on the waitlist but probably not as I have 5 decent schools to choose from right now.

Congrats on your acceptance @render142‌! Yes I’m an international student.
