<p>Hey guys! Congrats to all who applied ED to Bowdoin and made it! As for me, tomorrow I’ll be waiting all day for my letter to come. Oh how I wish the mail came on Sundays.</p>

<p>I’m still confused about whether 35 students of color means all minorities or just african-americans, and I could not find a definite answer to this question online. Anywho, as a Hispanic applicant i’m curious to hear about any minorities who got in!</p>

<p>I wish everyone the best of luck in their future endeavors - I wish we all could’ve been together at Bowdoin.</p>

<p>please reply to this post :)</p>

<p>Colleges usually use “students of color” to mean AA, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans; the term does not include internationals.</p>

<p>For instance, when Bowdoin says in its class profile that it has 31% students of color ([Class</a> of 2013 Profile (Bowdoin Admissions)](<a href=“http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/apply/2013-profile.shtml]Class”>http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/apply/2013-profile.shtml)) it will combine the percentages of these four groups (as reported in its CDS) to reach that number.</p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>
