<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc:
Pretty excited with all the colleges finally giving us decisions! I didn’t get any aid, so I still have to sit down and talk to my parents about it all. Still have to visit Colgate!</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted as well. I would also be very interested in the statistics regarding the waitlist. The letter said that 22 students were accepted from the list last year, but how many are on the list?</p>
<p>Last year (according to common data set), they offered 1510 places on the waiting list, 709 accepted them and 22 were admitted. I have a good friend in same situation so I looked it up for her. With the number of applications out there right now, more and more schools are getting prepare to use their wait list, so this could be different this year at Colgate.</p>
