<p>Let’s post it here. I doubt that anyone has heard yet. Got the mail and nothing from Bowdoin today…</p>
<p>Hang in there, everyone!</p>
<p>it didnt come in the mail.
im angry.
that girl is a dirty liar who said she got it.
either that or shes a foreign student, maybe they let them know by email.
best of luck</p>
<p>My application was deferred to RD. I am disappointed but very hopeful of better news in April. Bowdoin remains my No. 1 choice. Good luck to everyone else---</p>
<p>how did you find out?
letter/email?</p>
<p>Hey MeaghaninMaine how did you find out your deferral ?
Who told you that fact???????
Pliz.. I also applied as ED 1 applicant :((</p>
<p>I received a "thin" envelope yesterday. Good Luck to all---</p>
<p>Long Island New York</p>
<p>Deferred - It is unfortunate that now I am being thrown into the larger application pool - would the april evaluaters consider the fact that I attempted Early Decision?</p>
<p>What's even worst, Bowdoin was the only school I applied to.</p>
<p>I guess the next school will be Colby, Allegheny. I have to "jury rig" an application now.</p>
<p>S. was accepted today. He received a large envelop that included financial aid package.</p>
<p>I sure hope that deferred is not a euphemism for rejected</p>
<p>I do not know if I will have a good chance regular decision time, unless I could present my case to the comitee, or have another interview. I doubt that it would happen. I really would like to know what was weak in my application. I would guess that it was my 3.4 overall GPA, maybee my essay? Who knew that such a small envelope could mean so much.</p>
<p>Man sorry to hear about y'alls deferrals... I took an overnight at Bowdoin in November and talked to several people that were deferred originally and got accepted during the regular decision. Don't worry guys, from what I've heard, Bowdoin is a school that wants people to choose it over Ivies and is a little warmer to the idea that you did apply ED. This should give you a leg up on the regular decision applicants, most of which I think will comprise of Ivy rejectees or deferrals.
I live in Texas and I guess I'm still a day behind. I envy all of you that have received word of your status, I wish they could post it online or something. I figure that since it didn't come today, tomorrow HAS to be the day I hear.
Best of luck to all who haven't heard yet, and even better luck to those of you who have been deferred.
In talking to literally everyone that has anything to say about college, I have come to the conclusion that the epithet "wherever you get in is where you're supposed to be" rings very true. If you don't find yourself at Bowdoin next summer, you will surely love wherever you are. College, as a whole, will be fun, no matter where you are. As the caliber student that you must be applying to Bowdoin, I am positive that you will flourish intellectually at whatever school you wind up at.
PS I've only written this because I am nervous as hell and won't sleep or think clearly until I know what's going on. So, this has mostly been for myself. If you, however, find comfort in it, then I guess you're awesome. Time to go freak out some more.
Later</p>
<p>I got in yesterday... but im from maine so it did not take long to get here. Lots of people who get deferred end up getting in so dont get down about it... hope i meet you all someday at Bowdoin.</p>
<p>I was deferred. This schools seems just as hard to get into as an ivyleague.</p>
<p>I received my letter today. I am sooooooooo happy! I'm the fourth generation from my family to go, and the second woman. And a wonderful $$ package as well!!</p>
<p>Go class of 2010!!!!</p>
<p>wow man, thanks, really, thanks for the words of encouragement</p>
<p>I have definitly heard similar epithets from other "adults", but it takes on a whole different meaning hearing it from someone of similar age. I always found it difficult to communicate or discuss with other students, in my area, in a mature manner. I was hoping that at bowdoin, it would not be as diffucult</p>
<p>best of luck to all of you, where ever you land up</p>
<p>btw, I do not have the scores to attend any "Ivy league" school. Bowdoin was the only school I had applied to. I was leaning on , extra curriculars, art sup, and recomendations, not SAT or GPA (which was a 3.5) I think that it is still quite good that I was deferred instead of rejected</p>
<p>I was hoping that Bowdoin was the school for people like me, people who enjoy and persue the academics with zeal, but do not have that academic, memorization gift. Not everybody is capible of achieving a 2400 on a SAT, just like some people are not capible of becoming fine painters, or becoming great athletes. To me, political science was a subject I enjoyed tremendously. The good grades I "achieved" was just a byproduct.</p>
<p>I'm sorry about the deferral Neal. I just found out I was deferred too. I feel pretty terrible since I kind of obsessed over Bowdoin- but hopefully the pain will go away. This school is incredibly selective (pracitcally an ivy-league) and I've seen highly qualified applicants get deferred. I didn't send my SATs and would still be thrilled to get into another Maine school, but don't have such a good feeling.</p>
<p>I really want to know what qualifies a person for acceptance into Bowdoin. I am really confused</p>
<p>What is even worst is that I sent in a Art Supplement, I wonder what they thought of it. Some of those pictures won me some cash for college last year</p>
<p>I am going to drive my car off a cliff, I only got cause I thought I would be in maine next year
:-( whatever, I didn't work myself to death this summer just to get a car</p>
<p>btw, mollyollygal, you want to trade your acceptance for my deferrel?
I'll throw in a black Infiniti G35! w/ new tires!! :-) :-)
:-)</p>
<p>hey eric and neal, at least you guys still know what the hell they think of you.
i have a 3.49 WEIGHTED gpa, 103 in a class of 490, 2060 SATs (although i did make a 780 math), and not so many EC's, although i have been captain of several teams and am heavily involved in what few things i do do.
hopefully i find out tomorrow.
wish me luck
congrats molly and whoever else got in
i guess ill let you guys know tomorrow</p>
<p>Neal - Where on LI are you from? I'm in Garden City, I'll be applying RD even though Bowdoin is my first choice by far.</p>
