Guys I got in!!! Finally an acceptance!
i got in!
Question: Do you have to reapply for financial aid every year? Because my package says it’s only for 2018-19
@ariariari , Bates is never going to be a safety for anyone, no matter how great your stats are. The acceptance rate this year will be in the teens. They use holistic admissions.
Congratulations to all those accepted, and best of luck to those waitlisted. If Bates is truly your first choice, tell them, and update them with any new information.
Accepted!
1420 SAT, 3.81 GPA. Great ECs, rec letters, and awesome interview.
Yes, you have to reapply every year.
Accepted after being deferred from ED1. I was also accepted to UNH and received a full ride scholarship and a stipend. It’s a hard decision.
So everyone receives grants and packages for only one year at a time? And is aid guaranteed every year if your financial status stays the same?
I got waitlisted. Can someone please explain to me where i go from this now?
@IntApp2022, that’s standard. Unless your financial situation changes (e.g., Mom or Dad gets a new job or loses their current one) you can expect your package to be essentially the same in upcoming years. If you’re nervous about your FA I would encourage you to reach out to Bates admission. You may want to give it a day or two as I’m sure today is a very busy day!
Congratulations to everyone who received good news!
I was waitlisted (I don’t know why I wasn’t flat out rejected), after getting denied from Colby and Bowdoin yesterday, and it feels pretty good actually.
@Sue22 Thanks 
That’s reassuring
I got in!!! Congrats to everyone else and keep your hopes up to anyone who got waitlisted
Accepted
Aw waitlisted dang
GPA: (UW) 3.98 (W) 4.75/4.0
SAT: 1540
ACT: 34
Good ECs and essays
I didn’t get an interview and I’m thinking that maybe that was what hurt me 
My east coast applications not starting so hot uh oh
is anyone doing an overnight visit?
Anyone receive an email for Bates Beginnings? It looks to be an overnight stay, some expenses paid.
How are students selected? Is it for underrepresented minorities? Or some other group?
Did anyone get accepted into the admitted students FB page yet?
Son accepted. He did not receive Bates Beginnings email, but he did sign up for overnight on the 22nd of this month. We are probably changing that to the student admit day on April 6, since airfare pretty steep right now, but unfortunately no overnights available in April.
