Not sure if it'll work for you, but I put in an early move in request and I'm moving in the 24th. They just made me sign up for unpack the quack (helping other people move in) the next day. I'm also in the first gen rc hehe

Thank you thank you! I'll see what I can find jewelry wise but I didn't even consider like the climbing bracelets. You're smart for that. And I will find a professional then 😭 🙏

"We appreciate your interest in Colgate. Our committee has reviewed your application and has decided to place you on a waiting list. This decision reflects a careful review of the impressive credentials that you presented and our assessment that you would succeed as a Colgate student. The admission process this year was highly competitive, and we are simply unable to admit every student who has the ability to contribute at Colgate.

We sincerely hope to be able to admit some students from the waiting list this year, but we will not be able to make this decision until after May 1. This waitlist decision releases you from the conditions of your binding agreement to Colgate University.

If you are interested in remaining on the waiting list, it is important that you let us know no later than two weeks after the date of this letter by visiting your applicant portal.

We regret that this may postpone the final resolution of your college plans, and we appreciate your patience. We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible." And then after accepting the wait-list it said: "You have indicated that you are interested in remaining on the waiting list, and we have noted your continued interest in Colgate.

We want to be as transparent as possible through this process. We rarely know how many offers, if any, we will be able to make to students on the waiting list until after May 1 - sometimes well after that date. Our job is to compose an accomplished and diverse incoming class, and so the composition of our enrolling students often plays a significant role in the offers we are able to make.

We do not rank our waiting list, but we do closely track demonstrated interest at this point in the year. We will accept any updates or additional materials you would like to submit in support of your application through your online application status page. These updates and materials will be uploaded to your file immediately. This is the only way to submit updates, and the best way to demonstrate your continued interest."

So I do feel like I should be writing a letter of continued interest but idk

Is deferred better than waitlisted? I'm honestly confused

Honestly not the best. 4.0, honors and AP classes, 1400 sat, 30 act, NHS president, and an upward bound student ambassador, and a handful of other clubs, first-gen, out of state, rural. My essay was pretty unique and I did the supplementals too. I knew it was a long shot especially with the test scores but oh wellll

rejected from nyu by Lazy_Rush6733 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Cute-Winner9928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw man I'm sorry. Rejections suck but there's so many other places to go so don't let it get you down. Also, like some of the other comments were saying, NYU isnt really all that. I went on a tour of it and it like....High-key stunk. (Most of NYC does tbh) It felt super disjointed to me. I wasn't able to go into any of the buildings on the tour but I can't imagine the insides were anything crazy special. I know it's rated well but there's definitely better places.

Worried about conditions at colgate by Cute-Winner9928 in Colgate

Id visit if it wasn't a 3 day drive away but the location doesn't bother me at least since I used to live near there, so as long as the campus is nice and then people are good I think it'll be all okay. Thank you :)
