<p>I think you have a good chance. I am an international student paying a lot less than you and I got in ED1. Also, as far as I know, not many international students were accepted in ED1 so there probably are a lot of spots for international students in ED2. </p>

<p>ED2… very tempting! Why did you decide to choose Colby in ED1? Like what are the key benefits? I’m struggling between Colby and Colgate for my ED2 </p>

<p>I talked with admission officer and she was very co-operative and helpful. Also, colby seems to provide good aid to.inyernationals(i applied for almost full aid). The ones accepted in ED1 are all athletic- and I am therefore looking.foewfoforward to it. Colby seems like a highly ranked college with great acedemics but less “nerdy people”.</p>
