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

Don’t submit your scores. I didn’t submit mine and I got in. If you don’t send them, they can’t consider them. If you send them in, they have to consider them in admissions. Your SAT in below the average. I would not send them in.

@CollegeSeeker97 I have a 3.65UW but probably a 4.1/4.2 UW (my school doesn’t weight) but a 1980 superscored (710M, 660CR, 610W), should I submit my scores?

@CollegeSeeker97 Thanks

well, i just clicked the submit icon to submit my application, selecting test optional . I hope i get in.

To those who got accepted. Can you read my supplement?

Sure, message it to me or post it.

@ZainSD

guys,

what happened when you submitted your application? did you all receive your Bates account ID and password? I only received an email saying my files were being processed and they would send me my account details later. till now they haven’t sent any follow-up so I’m very worried.

does this occur to a lot of people? should I send them an email to ask?

@jamesmith they send a letter with your ID and password

@jamesmith they send it in mail which can take quite some time but if you applied ealy decision and you are still worried you should give the admission office a call and request ur ID like i did, but if you applied regular decision give them until like next week before u call because they are still processing a lot of materials

I just recently applied regular decision. My weighted GPA is a 100.07 and my unweighted GPA is a 92.63, my rank is #13 out of 154 students. I did not submit my SAT or ACT scores, and I am an actively involved varsity cheerleader, history club member, french club member, etc. My senior schedule consists of: AP Microeconomics, AP Language and Composition, AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, AP Stats, and I took a class at Colby College as well. Chances? I also am wondering how/when do we find out if we were accepted or not?

End of March probably.

You have a very good chance from what you’ve told me. Although it’s always really hard to tell because it depends so much on who is reading it. There’s never a promise, but I think you have a solid shot. They will email you when admissions are coming out and you will be able to check online. If you are accepted, you will also get a large package in the mail. Good luck!

When do applicants recieve anything in the mail? My D applied over two weeks ago, nothing in the mail yet.

@Lindagaf they send it in mail which can take quite some time but if you applied early decision and still worried, you should definitely give the admission office a call and request your ID like i did (i am an early decision applicant, i called and got my id and pin close to a week ago, after the Christmas break), but if you applied regular decision odds are, they are still processing your materials, but you can still try your luck.:slight_smile::slight_smile:

Thank you. It’s for my D, but she actually emailed today to find out when she can expect mail. I will show her your reply.

Thank you all! I cannot wait to hear.

I didn’t interview and I’m beginning to regret it. Is there anything I can do?

@lynkel i already contacted the admissions office for a skype interview(i am international), i was told that they can’t accomodate Skype interviews at this time because of the number of applicants, that i needn’t worry, a lot of internationals dont interview, and it wouldnt be held against me. But if your a domestic applicant am also gessing its late but u can contact the admission office and try your luck.
