<p>I got accepted to Colgate today, through regular decision. I also got accepted as an Alumni Memorial Scholar. It said on the letter that I would get research grants of up to $5000 renewable a year. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other perks given to a Scholar. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Hey, good job!! I heard a lot of ppl are getting those. If u dont mind me asking, what were your stats?</p>
<p>the $5k appears to be the biggest AMS perk. Lots of activiities & events though:

<p>nice job, were you ED to Princeton?</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>"RD Accepted!
I got accepted to Colgate today," ---- I hope i can say the same lines on this forum someday</p>
<p>Eventer: Yea I applied ED to Princeton, got deferred.</p>
<p>Boonie: I had 800 MT 740 CR and 660 WR, had some leadership positions, wrote a pretty good essay. Wrote an research paper that's going to be presented at a conference. More info if you search for my chances post, though some of that stuff might be dated.</p>
<p>Colgate seems like a great place, and they offered me an amazing package (almost full tuition). I wasn't expecting to get into AMS (heck, I didn't even know about it)</p>
<p>hey amacing, i applied ED to princeton, got deferred, and now i'm an AMS at Colgate too! what a coincidence.</p>
<p>me too! It would be interesting if we all ended up there</p>
<p>I am also an AMS at Colgate! I've just found out today. Congrats, guys! :) We might see each other there</p>
<p>My first choice back in the day was Princeton too and ended up at Colgate (before the days of the AMS, although don't know if I would have qualified anyway). After Dartmouth and Williams, there are probably more Princeton rejects at Colgate than any other school (maybe Cornell too, but about 1/3 of 'Gaters get in there). Best of luck to all you guys.</p>
<p>Congrats to both of you!!!</p>
<p>To clarify about the AMS grant- it's actually one time. You have $5,000 to spend over the course of four years. I actually sat in a friend's presentation (she did WorldTeach in China for the summer) and saw some of the other AMS' presentations- they did a lot of traveling for their research... really interesting stuff. Even though you have that kind of limit, there is so much that you can do to create a huge project... start dreaming now :)</p>
<p>Hey, aspiringpat! Congrats on your acceptance! Where in Romania are you... I'm a neighbor from Bulgaria, currently first year at Colgate. This is a great place :) Are you seriously thinking of coming here or did you get accepted to some other place you want to go to?</p>
<p>Hey, princessofdawn! I'm from a city close to the capital of Romania. Where in Bulgaria are you?</p>
<p>The Colgate acceptance letter was the first one I received, so I am first going to wait for the other decisions before I decide where to go. Nonetheless, I am very excited about Colgate and the offer they made me was absolutely amazing! </p>
<p>Are there many students from Eastern Europe at Colgate?</p>
<p>There's a Colgate Bulgarian Society, I read about it.</p>
<p>Oh man I've heard about that too, but it takes so long for mail to get to The Bahamas ...</p>
<p>aspiringpat, there are quite a few Eastern Europeans; we're a great bunch :P Well, good luck with your other applications! Drop a note when you make a final decision :)</p>
<p>Hey congrats all, I got into Colgate too, but no scholarship yet.</p>
<p>What did people need to do to get the Alumni Memorial Scholarship Grants?</p>
<p>AMS is based on the top 200 people that Colgate wants... so can't say exactly what you needed to get in order to qualify....</p>
<p>Yes! I just got my letter through FedEx today. I had a feeling I was getting in when the delivery lady handed me that big envelope! If I go to Colgate, it will surely be a change from the nice, warm Texas weather!</p>
<p>any int'ls got in yet?</p>
