<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I applied to Colgate University and today I got a handwritten note from the Dean of admissions wishing me the best.</p>
<p>Does Colgate wish everyone the best, or should I be a bit happy!</p>
<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Gary Ross, the dean, is one of the most prolific (& sincere) guys in this business. He is known for his personal touches and hand written notes on acceptance letters (and to students who have visited), but I have not heard of him writing notes to applicants pre-acceptance. I’d take yours as a good sign, but I wouldn’t count my chickens until the acceptance arrived, as he is a very prolific writer.</p>
<p>You applied today, and you got a hand-written note from the Dean?</p>
<p>You should write back and congratulate him on his clairvoyance! No, wait, never mind. He knew you were going to do that.</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>I think maybe you read the O/P a little too quickly.</p>
<p>It says: “I applied to Colgate University … pause … and today I got a handwritten note.”</p>
<p>I applied to Colgate more than a month back, not today.</p>
<p>Can someone chance me for Colgate University, after today’s letter and view book, I am really impressed with the college.</p>

<p>Poor reading comprehension. I apologize–sheepishly.</p>
