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

@jason922 are you applying ED or RD

@snow30 I’m applying RD

@snow30 I take AP Microeconomics at an online charter school currently, and that is very hard. But I really like Econ and I like the way it is tied to politics. My overall goal is to become a lawyer that handles finances.

@lynkel nice!

@jason922 would you mind sharing your stats with us.

@jason922 what’s your first choice?

@lynkel my ED2 school is Davidson College

@snow30 I have a 3.65 UW gpa, 80/345 class rank, 1980 sat (660cr710m610w) and a pretty good interview under my belt. I’m from Seattle if that makes a difference.

@jason922 nice stats!

@snow30 I feel that everyone is so qualified!

@lynkel Me to! #:-S Everyone is so equally competitive!

Snow what are your stats

@kjdsdksf my unweighted rank is 2 out of 50, unweighted GPA of 4.76/5.( my school does not weight GPA neither does it offer AP classes).

Thats pretty much it

@kjdsdksf I am 13 out of 154-164 (It keeps ranging) so top 10% of my class and my GPA is 100.07 W and 92-93 UQ/ I am a Varsity cheerleader, member of the History Club, involved in multiple other clubs.

Great stats

@kjdsdksf Thanks :slight_smile: What are yours? Also, will you be playing any sports in college?

Do any of you know how “political” Bates is?

@lynkel I’m not sure i understand what you mean by “political”

@snow30 Do you know if the students that attend are very focused on if you lean left or right? Or does it not matter so much?

@lynkel ooh! I don’t know actually, but i will ask my sister to ask the person she knows at Bates. I will get back to you when i get a response from my sister.

@snow30 Thank you! That means very much to me. I am just hoping we all get in, it would be so awesome. I mean, one can dream.
