*****Bates College Class of 2020 ED and RD Discussions*****

Its a 1.5 month wait for RD results.

Did this happen to anyone, too?

Yesterday night, I got a call on my cell from a number in Lewiston, Maine. By the time I got to my phone, it stopped ringing. I called back and went straight to voicemail, and apparently the caller was a social anthropology professor at Bates (I looked up the number to confirm as well). One of the fields of study I selected in my app was sociology.

How did she get my number? What does this mean? This is kind of odd haha.

I thought the notification day was February 15th, did everyone who applied ED 2 find out today?

@kingdeferral3248 Yeah I guess so.

I get to find out my decision on Monday @Incalescent did you get in I also saw a missed call but I missed cause I was in school but I didn’t call back.

@Kingdefferal3248 did you apply ED

@Afia2010 no, I applied RD. Hmm, why are they calling applicants?

Okay, I just received my Bates ID in the mail today although it was postmarked since January 7th :-/

What is the exact date that Bates will release the RD result?

I just received the same email I received during my early decision wait. It says I will soon need that number, decisions will be ready no later than April 1st. Well so, @ZainSD no one knows for sure when it will be ready.

But I also emailed my regional counselor a few days back and an automated response came in saying that she is in a decision committee from 2nd march to march 18th and she will have limited access to her emails. So I am guessing around March 18th ish time. She replied me the same day tho.

Okay. Thank you :slight_smile:

I have a strong feeling we might hear our decisions as late as April 1st due to two reasons,lol… 1) ED2 applicants learnt about theirs late, 2 days before the feb 15 deadline which ultimately means that Bates started reviewing RD applications late and much later than other colleges. 2) Bates admission tweeted to someone who asked when decisions will be released, saying “decisions will be released by April 1st” (note the tweet didnt say, “no later than April 1st” (:expressionless:

I really hope i am wrong and it comes out way earlier than that

I called admissions a few minutes ago to get my ID and pin, and the woman I spoke with just said we will receive an email “in the next two weeks.”

@juniperaan that’s around 29th-april 1st ish time, too far…oh well? The wait is still long

@snow30 Yeah… Aghh the waiting!

anyone else thinks it will be out tomorrow?

I doubt, they tweeted to another person yesterday saying decisions will be out April 1st

they release on Saturdays so I think it will either be tomorrow or the 26th. In my sister’s year it was the 26th :frowning:

guess we’ll find out in a few hours.
