Bowdoin - Class of 2020 ED / RD Discussion

I don’t want to consider it a sign whether negative or positive… till the D-hour

@Hatscatshatscats Just to be clear, only my mailing address was on my portal till now when my permanent one was added

my account won’t let me login either…

Mine’s been working just fine

@iocbobby10 Same… :0

To pass the time, what did you pick for the supplement?

I did connection to place. It was really mellow and not super revealing, but I hope it was along the lines of what they were asking for.

@Hatscatshatscats I chose the connection to place as well. Part of mine was general and the other personal, but nothing too great. It’s so difficult with so few words to work with!

@juniperann That sounds like mine, and I completely agree. Word limits made my life hellish during application season.

I chose Connection To Place too! I wrote about connection to place being more of an abstract idea as opposed to a physical place.

@books217 Still experiencing difficulties logging into your portal?

I also chose Connection to Place. I wrote specifically about my experiences at Explore Bowdoin!

Wow it seems like everyone chose that one. I wrote about where I’ve lived and why I like New England.

@iocbobby10 yes it still wont work…

@books217 Try using another device or clearing all your windows or tabs on the one you’re using already and try again.

So nervous!!! Did everyone here interview? I missed the deadline by 2 days :’(

How important is/was the interview?
Did they even interview internationals?

@elizabethcount I did not. Nor did I visit, too far. Does anyone know if Bowdoin keeps track of who visits or how important the interview is?

@kfromgermany they do, I had an interview via skype

I didn’t write about connection to place because I felt like everyone would choose that one… Looks like I was kinda right lol chose the intelligence one, I had an alumni interview that went just ok, the interviewer was not very personable

i also choose the intellectual engagement one…but i didn’t really feel it tho, was kind of absurd to me but all the same i think it was okay not bad not exceptional

I chose intellectual engagement and I also didn’t have an interview!
