<p>Rachie. I was just deferred from Bowdoin. I didn’t submit SAT scores but am a very strong student. Do you think I will get accepted to Bates ED II. I had an interview and thought it went will. I know you didn’t get into Bowdoin- were you deferred? Do you know other people at Bates who didn’t get into Bowdoin? I’m wondering if I have a decent shot at Bates- I am pretty disillusioned with the Bowdoin deferral. You saw my stats before and I was wondering if you know anyone who ranked in the top 5 percent of their class or better who got in without submitting SATs. I hope that Bates is true to their word that they don’t put much emphasis on SATs. I’m thinking that Bowdoin deceived me. Or maybe it wasn’t because of the SATs- who knows. Also, would you describe the people at Bates to be very friendly- like friendlier and less cliquey than highschool? I greatly appreciate your input! Thankyou so much!</p>
