<p>i can’t say for sure. bowdoin is so incredibly selective, much more so than connecticut college. i wish you all the luck in the world, but to be honest: if the readers at conn deferred you, it’s highly unlikely you’ll get into bowdoin.</p>
<p>thank you for being honest! i was kinda dissapointed with conn’s deferral coz i know a guy who got accepted there last year but with much lower statistics and similar background.
we shall see then!</p>
<p>It looks really good to me except I am not familiar with the IB system so i wonder what your GPA would be on a 4.0 scale…
I am also an international student who got into Bowdoin through Early Decision and with financial aid. so as long as they want you, I don’t think the money is going to be a big problem! =]
Your stats look so amazing that it also surprises me you got deferred by Connecticut College… I hope it is because of bad luck!
well, good luck on Bowdoin admission!!! I wish Bowdoin could get some more international students this year!</p>
<p>as far as i know, they translate a 7 as an A+, 6 is an A and 5 is a B. so i have one b, one a+ and others are a’s. </p>
<p>i heared they accepted only 4 ints on ed, so i guess those 4 had sth i didnt
i just hope to get into somewhere coz i wouldnt like to take a gap year.</p>
<p>You do have a good shot at Mount Holyoke, but the international FA might hurt you. You have a diverse set of colleges, so I know you will get into some of them. I’m going to say no
on Bowdoin and your chances are kind of low for Con</p>
<p>Moho’s admission rate is actually higher than Conn since it is a women’s college and Moho loves international students and gives out pretty good Financial aid package.</p>
