Hey everyone!
I didn’t see a thread for Bates’ RD Class of 2022 applicants, so I thought I’d start one! Who else applied RD?
I did!
I did! 
I did too! Do we know when we find out?
If I recall, decisions are released around the third week of March.
I did. I’m very stressed. I am an African American student applying from Memphis, Tennessee. Is being a URM a hook? Also, I got invited to MLK day. Does everyone get invited? If not, is that a good sign? Will attending improve my chances of being admitted?
@Gpa348 , are they paying foryou to attend? Go. It’s a good sign. Yes, you are hooked because you are a URM. Just be prepared for the cold. There’s three feet of snow up there right now!
@Gpa348 i think everyone gets invited because i, too, got invited.
I did!
I did!!! super nervous!!!
Does anyone know when the notification date is? I’m very anxious, as I was deferred ED by Middlebury and Bates is my second choice (along with Bowdoin) 
I’m thinking we will hear back on/between March 17 - March 24.
I was just denied ED round 2 to Colby and Bates is my second choice!! I know the website says by April 1, does anyone know if we will find out any sooner??
Usually the RD notification date is around March 21 or so.
Hi everyone. I applied RD too. I’m an international student
me too
Big news wow, 45% increase from last year. 7,688 total apps. http://www.bates.edu/news/2018/02/21/bates-college-attracts-record-number-of-applications-for-incoming-class/
Ouch, that’s scary for us :-/
Does anyone know when the decisions are coming out?
I’m also wondering when decisions come out. My daughter just got waitlisted at her top in-state tuition pick. It’s hard not to feel discouraged. We’re pretty sure test scores did her in because everything else is solid (3.9 unweighted, full IB), she didn’t submit scores to Bates, Bowdoin, Colby or Wesleyan. Crossing fingers!
Last year decisions came out on 3/18 at 8am, so we should probably expect sometime around then
