1 messages · Page 3 of 1
Yeaa
what is up with this no update email thing
i saw many getting one
while few didn
tt
No idea too
One person on reddit didnt get any email (scholarships & update)
But he got the waiver
we will find out in a week
let's wait
why do you think they have been stingy with waivers this year
they provided a lot last year
My best hope is that there is one batch of waivers left to be released but it's unlikely unfortunately.
However it goes , we will know by Friday
Not yet confirmed tho
oh alr
omg where did you get this info from 
it pops out but i have no hopes cause i got no css waiver or anything
where are you from
rip me
Same for me 😭😭😭
It didn't pop out for me
Soo. L
so you have to input the full name of school?
my just shows up when i type the first few letters
When my sch is the generic 'homeschool'😵
It won't work for me
mine is a school in a city where almost no schools pop out
same but mine does
Plus i attended their info session so wuldnt work even if it were unique
yes this is some portal astrology
literally like a week left
lets wait
we'll get in somewhere we deserve to be
no need for unnecessary panic for
did you get the waiver?
Yeah yeah
No panic
I am sure we would get into where God has predestined for us
Seems they aren't giving out waivers anymore
why do you think so
also haverford is releasing this friday
no interview
Yh
prolly gonna be rejected sed
what are your stats
1550
like SAT score
decent ECs
damn insane
eh gpa
they are competitive
yea but
so you never know
i need full aid as an internaitonal 💀
Not even the update email?
Samee
was there anyone who got absolutely nothing??
Yep
almost everyone got the update one ig
i heard that update email goes to people who are rejected/waitlisted
But they got the waiver
welp ig atleast i can be wl
sounds wrong
i didn't
damn
Ohh so u too?
interesting
Yea
that could mean that they like u but need to know how much money u need
no
before comitting fully
i hope they accept me
good luck!

Same
I hav 19
defer from
MIT
wait where
likelies mostly ig
But nth apart from tht ig
link?
did anyone got waiver from trincoll
Had Pulver's
But no waiver
Colby loss
even if it is jus a few more days of wait
I got one deferral n one rejection.
from?
deferral from?
defer
Na
Did you
MIT comes close second
Ohh
its a bit better for international applicants ffor MIT atleast ig
Ik
Shld say glad i wasnt in the 7% rejected cohort🥲
damn
Acceptance rate was higher than rejection rate for harvard rea
this waiting pain will end by this week
I have only 7decisions left😭😭😭
Swarthmore, Colby, Wesleyan Vassar Carleton Trinity ,Connecticut College
rip
damn we have 3 same decisions lol
from u rich to here
total 5 same ig
same 4 colleges
Guess I can eliminate Colby and Trinity
swatty colby and wesleyan
yes i guess
any idea when theyre coming>?
my friend got deferred from ED2
Idk
shes prolly gonna be accepted ig
that is insane
they have 50% deferal acc rate
Wesleyan has an African scholarship program for 13 Africans
So i think I might just be lucky to get one of it
bro SAT means nothing
true
did you get the interview for it?
Actually
but i dont wanna type her entire profile
It's automatic
no there is a different interview for the finalist
same with asian scholarship
There isn't
My friend who got in didn't get an interview
He's there rn as an African Scholar tho
ok
Did u guys apply to grinnell? M waiting for that too.
M hoping it's earlier than friday.
I would just commit early to the school I have now
No stress😢😢
actually idk hwo true this is my scjool shows up but the university of pittsburgh has had several ppl get in and the CEEB code never showed up when i looked for it
All hopes lost😭😭😭
Oh
Maybe I am wrong then
I think they hav like 5 full scholars yearly.
you already have a college
that is too low
i hope weselyan works
Same for me too
it may depend on the school but something to keep in mind
they have higher intl acc rate like 7% i think
True but m from an underrepresented country
which nation
So hoping sth
oh
Yeah
A t51 lac ( who cares about Ranking tho)
doesnt work for me cuz ik a hs alumni went here 😭
Ohh
im the only person from my school applying i thin
ao emailed my counselor w list of applicants
no portal astrology, im deleting this
Any idea, when the Colby RD decisions are being released?
Friday
March 15?
But where is the official information? How did you get notified bt that
It’s not official, but past years many of the top LACs released on third Friday of March, which is the 15th this year
Haverford is one of them and has already announced their releasing on Friday so there’s a really good chance Colby releases Friday as well
Ahh k!
Grinnel is out tho
Heard a friend said that
36k ayr
Nice
ty!
congrats!!!0
U too!! 💪
definitely increased confidence in my application
hoping for pulvers scholar for colby but i doubt
For sure
I was so scared
Lets hope for a good friday!
Ohh for me, I don't hope for the Pulver's, just wanna get into Colby,
Pulver's can come later
im kinda afraid to open my grinnell decision
given the waitlist massacre
and the fact that a girl with a much weaker profile got in
from my class
good luck!
very surprised i got in, didnt show much demonstrated interest and i finished hte optional essay a day late
wait wat essay
I think demonstrated interest is wack 😭
im done for arent i
Barely any schools consider it I think
We believe in you!
i think some LACs really love it, grinnell has like 50+ percent ED Rat
and i heard schools like hamilton/colgate even really prioritize it
but idk
u got it man!
Ohhh I didn’t consider ED as demonstrated interest
I thought demonstrated interest was the small things like visiting and taking an official tour
Talking to the ppl at the college fairs
Joining webinars etc
It’s those, as well as interviews, sometimes interacting with social media and emails, doing optional essays
I was taught an optional essay is never optional lmao
And to always accept an interview
I can’t imagine someone who did all of that and was rejected from their dream school 😭
I’d cry for them
the why grinnell in the portal
Most schools that consider demonstrated interest are ones top applicants consider targets
yeah and some selective LACs
did anyone get the css waiver
They are done giving it out
I guess
ig there is a catch in fee waiver. i think they dont send waivers to highly prospective students that they gonna accept no matter what their needs are. and then there're students they not so sure about or they gotta look at their needs first. so they send the waivers to them. and ofc there are instant rejects they just throw away and dont care
This sure can be the case but colby is not like richmond which gives these waviers on their own. If you are requesting colby a wavier its clearly known that you cant afford even the fee of the wavier and hence you have a really high need. So do know that these students have high financial needs and need almost a full ride
yea the income is to be mentioned to get a waiver
I’ll follow this mindset
did you get the waiver
i think this is a form of copiumm
ngl
yes i did
not entirely sure whether the waiver is a need based thing, but lets not stray into portal astrology territory (ie that if you got the waiver you're getting in)
Not actually copium
Getting Waiver doesn't equal sure acceptance
Not getting it doesn't also equal sure rejection.
Everything is on how Colby places it
ok
cope
I just received Colby CSS fee waiver
friday impending
Yeah
I have a little shred of hope now
u were worrying for no reason smh u got it
,😭😭😭
Tho it's still not a sign of acceptance
But at least, I have a little shred of hope
i think you should check your school's name now
ykwim
Still not on it yet
So it's not a sure sign of acceptance
yeah ig
if theyre sending it that late must be a reason
good luck
ive got nothing rip
another L ig
Yeah yeah
It's not a sure sign tho
But still, no hope lost
i think ur gonna get very good news this friday :)
I hope we are all getting the good news together
Woah congratss mate making it got the pulvers and now wavier Congrats!!
Thank you so so much💕💕💕
Tho it's not a sure sign of acceptance (might be a WL) but still I still got a shred of hope
Wait was the email in February about the scholars programs sent to everyone?
Yeah
I don't think Colby will be out on the 15th
Rather by 22nd
how do u know?
I mean if it's tommorow
They won't send me the waiver today
That's too close to the decisions date.
And they haven't said anything officially at all
sid they tell u by when they need the waiver?
when did colby come out last year again?
You know they would check finances to know if they can actually afford the person then
March 19th of so
I also hope it comes earlier
nah yall i think its friday 🤞
most colleges cold drop the day of anyways
2 more days 😝
friday 3pm mark my words
unless im wrong LMFAO
hopefully
honestly thought all my decisions were coming april 1 but they're just coming out at random now
yes
Ohhk
Naah its not like that for Colby when you submit your profile your idoc portal will have these new updates so ig they need it for everyone
Unlike for others where they request it only if they need it
no they emailed me bc it was last min
so they may start emailing ppl more
since decisions are around the corner
but keep in touch w ur checklist always
Oh
I get,
Thought they don't use Idoc cos I never heard of anyone say it at all
theyre rly minimalistic w ifoc
Oh I get
I just hope all doesn't go in vain
Same but as soon as I submitted my stuff my idoc was updated with additional requests and due to old documents already processed it didn't really take much time for Colby to verify and complete the checklist
Yes
Just a tax return statement
My parents aren't tax fillers
ya same
Oh no stop portal astrology and just be happy I am sure you all can make it
they missed some of my docs tho
nvm
thags easy then
im a dumbass xd
I just submitted my CSS just an hour ago tho
I aiidy submitted my Idoc for Vassar so I thought that would apply for every school
Calm down pls
No portal astrology
is vassar on friday?
It's very close of ivy day
Or after ivy day
oooh omg
Did any of you submit your schoolhouse portfolio?
I did
Tomorrow?
I don't think it's tommorow
Still no waiver for me 😦
🫂
Lets just wait for decisions
Waiver or not, let's trust in God for the best
Btw a whole lot of lacs are releasing tommorow
Anyone got a clue when decisions are coming?
I don't actually know
Anyone planning to mail Colby and ask ?
okay i will wait
Yeah 🙂
I emailed them and they said in or before April 1
they also said this to me
Man that's a very generic reply 😭
they aren't gonna release the date
they will be like
That’s what they all say
we are gonna post the decision
All LACs are releasing by 15 March 😭
That’s what I’m saying 😭😭
when did you email
Won’t be surprised if this is how this pans out
1 hour ago
they are notorious for doing this
is this releasing on lac day
Most likely
I don't think so
Nothing on their IG page
I think this next Friday
22nd
Their IG is updated on decision day so too early to predict anything
Yeah last year they posted on ig like around morning or afternoon day of
Actual jokes😂
also holy cross and connecticut college
add richmond too
4am till 9 pm no rest for me 😭
stappp
defo
kenyon just released their decisions today randomly i really hope no one else does it that way
ong
ong
im hoping williams realeases tmrw too
denison and grinnell just cold released
cunts the lot of em innit
fuck grinnell
honestly im ngl i was not bothered by the rejection
its my opp
iowa is not where i want to be
i was so convinced northeastern was going to be next week and then they just randomly released
WOAHH
woa congrats
so defo decisions coming tomorrow
dw you will make it
do inform us if they got the good news too!
Congrats all of you!
CONGRATSSS
waittt i think it most likely comes out tmrw then no?
Congrats! Hopefully they didnt just make a huge mistake like case western did last month, but its too close to decision release to be that big of a mistake
yeah
my mom didnt get anythinf
Mate you got the scholars email too? Or the wavier (if you applied for that)?
Omg congratssss
Are you domestic or intl
Congratulations btw
It seems intl from the profile
Fr?
None of them
Im international
Many many congratulations mate
Nice
Did you receive Pulver's and the CSS profile?
Css profile yes, pulver never
Ohhh
Cool one
I don't think I added my parents email to my app
So I don't know whether I got it or not
Oh damn got the same
Praying for all of us
We would all have good news to share
I’m waiting on decisions from 11 LACS, I’ll be happy with getting accepted or waitlisted by 1
mind telling me which ones
I am waiting on about 7 + Dartmouth, the only ivy I did cos it is a lac
Did you apply to Conncoll
yeah
Omg congratulations 🎉
I heard they sent out likely letters
Did you receive one
havent gotten anything from them
Any update about them
Amherst
Williams
Swarthmore
Bowdoin
Colby
Pomona
Colgate
Vassar
Wesleyan
Hamilton
Occidental
I also applied to Reed but I got accepted already
16acceptances
That's crazy
You are intl/domestic
scared that I shit applied to colleges
Domestic
I also did Swarthmore, Vassar, and Wesleyan
Any updates from Vassar
Oh
Vassar no, but they usually release the week of Ivy day
Last year it was the Tuesday of that week
Yh
Ivy day is on Friday ig
What about Wesleyan
Wesleyan is usually Saturday before Ivy day, so it could come next Saturday
No way Colby rejects all pulvers scholars right
😭😭😭they won't
Hopefully
Did anyone that selected the Bunche scholar get a second email?
I was even wondering why my own CSS profile came late while those of other Pulver scholar was sent out like a week or two weeks before
Idk how only one acceptance email went out to family
Like you’d assume it would be an automatic mistake
NOW IM SCARED ITS GONNA BE A REJECT
did u ask your parents?
Don't fret
Yeah but she didn’t have anything
Plus I applied Questbridge
Idt they ever asked for her email
Oh well
I’ll see tmr 😝
yeah i assume we get at least waitlist if we get pulvers
interview
but no jinxing
tmrw cant come fasty enough
so many lacs and ucsd to open
yes same
my mom didnt get anything
but a colby ao emailed my counselor and colby finaid officer emailed me
sl i dont think ik rejected?
What were you and your counselor emails about?
Mind sharing?
abt my midyear grades
when they dont requore
them
Kk
doubt it
Confirmed or nah?
Unless they cold drop unlikely but it is pretty possible that they might cold drop
Colby will be cold dropping and seeing the old trend it's the 3rd Friday of March which is 15th plus many Lacs dropping Friday/Saturday so yeah most porlly yes
cold-by
omggg this is so cool!!!
did they send the acceptance early by mistake or was it intentional??
Its a mistake, probably start asking ur parent's email and check for it
does your portal show the decision letter?
Nope
the weirder part is they sent it to your parents lol
your email would've still made sense 😭
no idea what colby is upto
They only send it to parents of admitted students
It might be a glitch
Or it might not
I just hope they release tommorow
I can't just wait
possible
morning or afternoon?
Imagine getting rejected aftwr receiving that admitted family form
that would suck
Don't be negative tho
dw
focus on the positive ✨
did someone here apply to bates?
Not me
SAVE ME 😭 😭 COLBY PLEASE PLLEEK 😭 😭 PLEASE PLEASE PLEAPEALSEPLEAS SAVE ME SAVE 😭 😭 ME SAVE MECOLBY PLEASPLEPASLPEL 😭 😭 COLBY PLEASE PLEWAS COLBYCOLBY 😭 😭 😭 😭 PELASE PWEASE PLEEK PLEAKSE PEA{SAVE ME COLBY COLBY PLEASE SAVE ME 😭 😭
wait is colby confirmed?
nah but probably
damn that's close
ill have like 10 decisions out in 2 days wtf
maybe
i dont know if williams cold drops or emails like in the monring
they dont email or they dont cold drop?
ive never heardnof them cold dropping
they always at least email counselors
mt counselor hasnt received anything
You messaged the admissions office
nah this is for bates
Ohh
their second l is so useless
I just found out that it’s not grinnel but grinnelL
From which region?
me after winning a nobel (hopefully)
imma hand this L to every school that rejected me
wait so Colby comes out tmr??????????
We don't know so chillout
possibly, but it is not 100 percent confirmed
I did
comes out on 16 right?
yeah!
they haven't specified the timing though
Ooo, on what basis did you make the assumption tho!?
yep
williams on 22nd Ahhhhh
Any news yet about Colby
just a week later
a few hours and maybe a post on insta or else we wait till 22
too anxiousss
ugh i wish this was today just like pomona theres nothing yet from bowdoin and amherst either
cold dropping is literally the worst bro
kenyon cold dropped yesterday 3am my time it was the worst expereince ngl
Yeahh colby today pleaseee
yeah yk what all of them schools can cold drop today if they want i just want a decision atp
literlally, this waiting game is killing me
crazy?
i was crazy once
they trapped me in a room
a room of pending applications
and pending applications make me crazy
😭😭😭these schools are making me nuts fr
bro you are already in
I hope so
Uhhh
awww noo
Its technical error they say
:((
Haha its fine
hopefully a good omen anyways!!
what
When is Colby out
Aww it's ok they have accepted you just Dont wanna ruin it for you
Yeah I think it’s probably next Friday instead of today
Ugh i hope its today though
swarthmore confirmed next friday
Aren’t they usually around 3pm EST though, so we still got some hope
Is there anything confimred coming out for today?
LAC wise, just pomona, haverford, and richmond
wellesley
Did rd come out
When is Pomona
In45 minutes
dude imagine third acceptance today would make me actually cry
Which ones have you gotten today??
Congratulations ×3 btw 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So sad ig it’s next Friday
yea rip
bruh
Tmr maybe?
Next Friday
nextfri
Does Colby usually give a heads up or do they just cold release
so there’s still hope for me in getting css fee waiver 😞🙏🏻
do you know anyone from you region who got the waiver?
where are you from?
Congrats!
actually nevermind those two schools r need aware and im broke maybe thats why
i got 4 rejections cus i cant afford shit lmao
Congrats on middlebury!! I remember that’s one of your top choices over Colby!
Congratulations!!!
thanks!
if i get pulvers colby will be above middlebury but we'll see!
no one. quite strange
wld skidmore bates connecticut college and holy cross
lacs just dont want me lmaoo
did u get interview for it
i did mine for pulver
yup!
but they r need aware so im not rly confident
I sent my qb app in
so if they are need aware im cooked
I got into dream school yesterday tho
congrats!, hopefully te pulver scholar thing means we r comeptitive enough lol
im balling
liberal arts schools don’t like me
I got rejected from uh what’s it called again
I forgot
the red logo lac
grin something
and Pomona
grinnel?
pretty cooked im ngl
until they sent me an email
rejected from Grinnell and Pomona but got in UMD cs and uva
so thank god
its fine i applied to a school named olaf
I didn’t wanna go to a LAC 😭
and got wld 🫥
I just thought they would give good aid
what is an Olaf
ivies?
its insane
ivies and nyu and tufts and something else
I already peaked tho so I don’t mind if I go like 5/20
like colby doesnt have 8% ar
because im already mentally committed to cmu
it was 6 ercent rd lalst yr
because I wanted to do cs so badly
idk
it was 6 percent at one point
but u have to understand it’s different than like a low percent for notre dame or some other school because
its a shitshow
so they will reject the super cracked people if they don’t fit institutional needs

why isnt htere a college thread for con coll
what is con coll
conecitcut college
it doesnt desearve one
UConn?
oh
is it bad?
yeah no one knows what LACs are except for people applying
mid ass LAC rejecting all the internatioonals to drive down their acceptance rate is so uncool
fk them
besides like the t10
lacs
i got into con coll full ride as an international
what are the t10 lacs
i say grinnell and mfers thought cornell

like amherst, pomona, etc.
me bcs i was wld by olaf and got 2 lac rejections today
aren't you domesticc
no duh
yeah understandable
Amherst is probably the most well known and Pomona in Cali
yea maybe swarthmore
if i were id be laughing so hard rn but im not
if you are domestic and cannot get in, it is a skill issue. if you are intl and cannot get it, it is you are poor bastard
I applied to swat and forgot I did
they ask so much
i appleid to schools with on essays
is 30k a year poor, i cant tell
finaid questions
yeah the verification sheety and stuff
I need schools that ask for a lot of essays so I can out write the high stat people
i gave up
that’s why cmu went well
oh im a mid writer with high stats ;-;
no. the GNI of china and india is < 15k and majroity of african don't earn 5k
and u applied to colby?
I just clicked the button on my qb app
maybe im just bad
i regret not doing qb
nyush admit out of pity fr
I didn’t get finalist so I just sent my qb app to whatever didn’t ask for extra stuff
I didn’t get into qb
coulda worked out way better for my early school
nobody owes us anything but i have lost my mind over people charging truck loads of money for education
oh
what are your stats
and I got into dream school so we chilling
and I used the rejected qb app
and got into uva
I’m committing to cmu if I don’t get anything else
1480 3.56 t5 in class 2 businesses 1 research and something something
we tied with Stanford for cs I think
not that good stats but you should have eded to place like grinnell
bouta make that tiktok
tiktok mf
yea
you’ll get in good if you have nice essay
depends on the rigor
just out write people
depends on Context of applicatio
and the ECs were mad good
if u went through struggles u have a chance
nah i got rejected by urich and skidmore
yeah I wrote about my struggles
same LOL trauma dump
multi faced applicant or whatveer
im weirdly bad at my mother tounge
my sat score and story is the only thing keeping me
they are mid ass schools who won't take intls on aid. grinnell will give full tuition willinglly it is v generous
my LORs, essays, and awards were horrid
what is your SAt
I just wouldn’t bet on LACs
1590
😭 fuck i didnt apply

i put 0 awards basically
wait u got the pulver interview and u have a 1590 I talked to u ON REDDIT
are you intl?
what are the chances that i tell them i just woke up from a comma
oh shi u the ihadtolockin
LOL
this is so weird
bro this the college addicts
no chance
we are so bad oml
i hate when ppl recognize me from reddit
aye it worked though
domestic but i am a immigrant
😎 bye bye america
lol
you are domestic
goes to show how hard it was to get that interview
yea
then it is v easy for you
yu should be that shi is selective af
like I woke up this morning
like 5percent or smth
the birds chirping
and top program
the grass green
LOL, a gentle breeze
I feel like a new man
and the scent of a new beginnning
alr ima go grind valorant
rule 1
there is a word called sarcasm
and stop doing it like it is 1984
lol wat rank and wat servers u on
thats like the nicest way to put it unfortunately
G3 NA
still dont go around saying it
institutional priorities affect domestic students as well
damn bro is 1590 and ascendant
i was immo 2 but i fell off
nobody owes us anything ik but you would know the condition of us when either you need money or an intl oly medal to get into a college
no offence
I just have bad gamesense I either drop 30 and lose or drop 10 and win
I just wide swing and take too many aim duels
i feel, i swing to have fun at this point
Woah
That's massive
Congratulations
Which country are you from ?
You also got Pulver's right?
yup!
yessir
imagine this is the other guy from the Reddit
the digicam guy
we all interconnected lol
Do you know when we hear back about the presidents scholar?
That's awesome
What about the CSS fee waiver or you didn't request it?
!colby
I already had it before
I didn’t have to
I had it waived already
Because low income
heard that colby rd is released today
Oh!
found in the put decision date megathreads
def old why would they drop on a sunday
Carleton comes out Friday too
Yeahh just saw the email, maybe Colby will follow 😭
Yeah Colby's sure to come out by then
colby better come out of the closet
istg if its not out this fri
did you get the waiver
i got it
i think waivers have been dispatched at this point fr
ah congratulations on your impending acceptance
most likely yes
waiver means nothing
you already got into Wellesley and MIT?
sheesh why are you even looking at Colby then
are you a full pay student?
no
that over MIT will be sad
how much is your EFC?
let's not disclose that
it is 15-20k
let's wait one more week

that's patrick bateman hehe big W character
it depends on what you make out of it
he was a psychopath

Hell nah you look hs senior with that, but seriously fr?
Like.
What are you waiting on Colby for 😭😭😭
It's freaking MIT pls
Like.
What are you waiting on Colby for 😭😭😭
It's freaking MIT pls
colby got that nature
Ohh
That's true tho
For me too, I might choose another lower college over Colby, pending on how my thoughts go
yes i think too
i might choose colby/wellesley/mit
anything
i hope i don't get into williams or amherst
Simple, if you get in, you can stil choose anything you like
17
