<p>I have a friend who says he's in. I know he's an athletic recruit, but I thought all the athletes were just pushed to apply ED. Does Colby have likely letters like the ivy's? Or do athletes fill out apps early and Admissions reviews them on a rolling basis and issues actual acceptance letters. It surprised me to hear this so I was wondering.</p>
<p>Colby certainly does not issue letters. Thus student has certainly not been accepted, as no one, including recruited athletes, receive admissions decisions before December 15th. The student may have been told that he is likely to get in by the coach, but that is by no means any guarantee.</p>
