Chinese, Male, First Gen. College
Competitive Private School
Interesting ECs, lots of art activities, volunteer hrs, humanitarian work in other countries
Good essays, articulate and genuine</p>

<p>Well, its nice to know that Colby can look passed numbers. Yay holistic approach! Being waitlisted is alright but it would’ve been nice if I was accepted. Going to wait for other school’s results before I decide to stay of the waitlist or not. CONGRATS TO ALL WHO GOT IN!</p>

23

<p>I haven’t been able to view my decision yet. My gmail account that I linked the college with has been hacked. All the login details of portals are saved in that account. I am not sure what to do. Should I call them and ask for the login details? But why would they pass on such an information on phone? I have already emailed them but they probably would reply it in sometime. Would calling them through my home phone which they obviously have in my personal details enough for the authentication to give me the login details?</p>
