Anyone got the official package yet? Like the official letter and good stuff mailed?
I got my official package in the mail today @Zummies
I did! Nice black folder, a little flag, and a decal :3 YAY!
Thanks guys! I just go it too~
Bowdoin did a really great job with its acceptance packages!
Everyone on the wait list: look at this!!! There is hope this year. http://bowdoinorient.com/article/11076
Hey guys! I’m from a suburb right outside of Chicago. I applied to Bowdoin ED1. I’m in the same boat as the other guy, except their ACT is higher
GPA: 3.8/4.6
ACT: 32 (33 super score)
-did not take SAT-
I also took 10 AP classes. It just feels so competitive out there that I feel like any school is a gamble! But I’m super involved so i hope that helps! I’m captain of the swim team, possibly polo this year. Have always been on varsity. I’m in a bunch of leadership clubs I don’t think are common outside of the Chicago area, along with Environmental Club, and I volunteer at Special Olympics and the senior center in my town. And I think my essays are okay. I talked about my autistic brother for the common app one.
But you know, everyone is a genius nowadays, getting 36’s left and right. So i don’t feel confident either. Plus my first quarter grades took a dip. I really hope I can go to bowdoin and hang with you all!
Otherwise I’m considering: Carleton, Washington University in St Louis, Connecticut College, Brown, Northwestern, and some other safety schools.
