<p>I was looking for William Shain in the admissions office listings but could not find him. Does anybody have any information…has there been a reorganization of the Bowdoin admissions office?</p>
<p>Dean Shain is no longer the dean of admissions. The interim dean is Scott Meiklejohn.</p>
<p>Can you tell us why there has been a change?</p>
<p>wow...we really liked Shain a lot...saw him at Vandy a few years back...</p>
<p>agree - he made a wonderful impression at a college fair. If the atmosphere/student body at Bowdoin is anything like his description, it's fabulous. Maybe he's simply retired (hope so).</p>
<p>apparently, there were some serious, internal issues. shain didn't get along well with his staff. all interactions i had with him were great.</p>
<p>This surprises me as I thought he was the most outstanding representative of admissions that we came across in 05 when touring Vanderbilt, and I was delighted Bowdoin hired him, because we are big Bowdoin fans. We are also Nashville fans and former residents, and I am always surprised when anyone moves away from fun Nashville.</p>
