@snow30 I always come on this site but I never want to sign up or even comment but seeing that you are also in Africa and a bit even close to me and you also applied ED2 to bates made me just sign up to comment.
@Afia2010 Yh i have, but i had to call to receive it over the phonr. I haven’t yet gotten it via mail yet. You can call the admission office… If i may, which country are you from.
Am in Ghana, then I think I will do so toooo you basically don’t know how glad I o know that am not the only one going through this my Wassce exams is in a few months so really really busy and not getting my bates pin so u can imagine
@Afia2010 Tell me about it! I hated the stress of the exam, it lasted for 3 months or so, and the preparations. It was killing me(I’m currently taking a gap year). Are you also taking the IGCSE?
@Afia2010 i am no longer in high school, i graduated last year. Did you submit any test scores?
Naa am only taking the Wassce but its stressfulness has taken my mind of bates decision a bit cause am always learning but did u apply for aid and did u use the ISFAA forms available on the bates website other schools I applied to has requested for the ISFAA and I I have submitted to about 3 of them but bates has not requested but I have still submitted the ISFAA forms on their site.
@Afia2010 yes i appled for aid. Bates has its own financial aid form for internationals on its website . although they haven’t requested one yet from me, i still submitted it as the deadline was jan 1st for ED2, which was stated on their website.
@Afia2010 if you have submitted it, you should be good… Which other colleges did u apply to?
@snow30 I also submitted the one on their site but my only problem was that it was 2015/2016 but I guess ours was supposed to be 2016/17
@Afia2010 Yeah, i had that problem to, but still submitted it anyways…What other colleges did you apply to?
I Applied to a lot of schools but bates is my First Love Hampshire, Bard, Union, Gettysburg, Hamilton, Sarah Lawrence, St Lawrence, Lawrence University lol my 3 Lawrence’s lol then the reaches they are Havard College, Cornell College and the I Will Say Wesleyan is a bit of a reach

I applied to Wesleyan, Union and Lawrence University to(rejected at Lawrence University EA2, explicitly stated that i asked for much aid), i am also applying to Grinnell, Colby, Bowdoin, Pitzer, Lehigh,…
ok our schools seems similar have u submitted ur CSS for Wesleyan and is the deadline not over for Bowdoin and the rest
@snow30 I didn’t know you were taking a gap year! That is interesting. How do you feel it has affected you? Also, I have a feeling the decisions will be early this week. I’m really hoping and praying for some good news!
@Afia2010 I submitted the Isfaa in lieu of the css profile. And soryy wrong tense, i applied to Bowdoin and the rest.
@lynkel Well, i don’t really think it has affected me much. I’m still pretty much the same, just the boredom some times when i am not busy.
I decided to take a gap year because all my elder siblings took a gap year. My sister took a gap a year and just entered into Vanderbilt University, i don’t think i wanted to end up in the same class(year) as her.
@lynkel Yeah most probably before thursday(guessing to)
@lynkel are you in school or you have graduated
@snow30 am a lil scared the decisions are coming out soon and I don’t even have my ID and pin yet am thinking about not requesting it when I get in signs or emails from bates will show me I got in.
