Deadlines were yesterday, wish you all good luck! :-bd Well, I created this thread so we can discuss about the notifications (I know, February…) and stuff. x
I applied regular decision. I can’t wait!
I applied for EDII, I’m so so excited about the possibility of going to Bates!
My D applied RD. Can you tell us what was asked in your interviews? @dennael @jesuismari and anyone else…
@redpoodles Of course. My interviewer asked how was my school like (subjects, rigor, size, academics), my academic interests in Bates, why do I want to go to Bates, my ECs, cultural background, the most remarkable community service I did, what do I like to do for fun, how are my rowing practices, he asked about my family too… Well, we spent about 2 hours talking so it’s hard to tell everything. Hope I helped 
@redpoodles I signed up for an alumni interview but haven’t heard back yet.
I applied RD
Oops, wrong forum ;
14 days for the notifications CC people!
@jesuismari oftentimes EDII people get their notifications around Feb. 6-9, so a little bit earlier. be on the lookout. good luck!
@dennael Yes, sometimes the notification arrives five days earlier (staff from the Office of Admissions told me that too)! I wish you all the best luck guys!
I applied under ED2 too
but I haven’t even received my Portal 
I am wondering if anybody has the same problem as mine ._.
@MinhSu1411 They’ll send your PIN and ID by mail, depending on where you live it takes longer to arrive. Many of the applicants had the same problem. If you don’t want to wait for it just call the Admission’s Office. 7 days guys!
Today I cannot access the Portal, it says “This webpage is not available”. Do anybody have the same problem as mine ?
Does this mean something ? Maybe they will have their decision sooner, won’t they ?
@MinhSu No, my portal is available. Look, chill, if you had logged in before and everything was complete there’s no reason to be worried now. I don’t think so. On the website is written that the notification by mail is released on February 15, but the online one is always released 5 days earlier according to the Office of Admissions. I don’t think they’ll release the decision that earlier.
How excited are you guys? Is only @MinhSu1411, @dennael and @redpoodles D applying to Bates here? :))
When do decisions come out, will they send us an email to check the portal?
@foreverafreshie I already answered that in this thread. I don’t know about RD, but for ED2 the online notifications will be available in 6 days and the packages/letters will be out on 11 days. If you do not have your portal yet it means that you didn’t arrived it by mail, maybe because of the location, so you should call the Admissions Office or just wait for it. Although I don’t think that’s necessary, since if you were applying for ED2 and a document was missing they would’ve sent you an email already.
Oh wow didn’t realize that’s how it worked with the email 5 days before. I am really excited now!!! Good luck to all
@bmbxc57 Yeah! Isn’t that exciting?
