Can anyone tell my chances?

international?

Yes.

Your SAT score is somewhat problematic; I realize you did not provide it to Bates, however, no one will be able to assess – even roughly – your admission probability without submitted standardized test results.

I think you have a good chance. Bates’ ED acceptance rate is much higher than their regular acceptance rate, so that will definitely help you. You have a wide range of ECs and you have excelled in your classes. I also wouldn’t worry too much about your test scores because, as far as I know, less than 50% of accepted students at Bates submit their scores, and they are a school that genuinely assesses your profile without the scores (unlike a place like Bowdoin, where far fewer students are accepted without scores). Again, I think that your excellent ECs and academics will make you a strong candidate. Good luck!

My essay is very good, it’s about my mother as last year she died because of brain cancer and how I went through that phase.
Thank You, guys :slight_smile:
