I’ve thought that it was time to start some discussion on this topic!
Are there any ED applicants for Bowdoin? What was the reason for choosing it as an ED school?
Btw I am an international applicant, struggling with commonapp essay.
So far no discussions yet…
Would like to hear discussions of Bowdoin ED for 2021…
No early decision applicants? Hope this thread is activated. How about each of us giving a reason for applying ed?
For me: small, supportive community, stellar academics and flexibility of liberal arts education, quaint location and good quality of life, and - the best of all - awesome food (beats other factors; I place big importance on that)!
57% of the Class of 2020 were ED applicants, FWIW.
I applied ED 1 three days ago. Loved the vibes I got there and everyone I met. I loved the discussion I had with my interviewer as well.
I’m applying ED in the next few days. Some of my family went here and have always loved the vibes. Hope this page starts to get a lot of action!!
I spent the past weekend at Explore Bowdoin and I’ve decided to go ED. I haven’t been super picky about what I look for in schools, but I absolutely loved Bowdoin - the classes, the no-loans financial aid, the incredibly nice people, and the size (I come from a really small, remote high school). Also, the food was amazing (plus, Gelato Fiasco). I’m hoping for the best!
I applied ED 1!! I visited Bowdoin in October and loved everything about it. Hopefully some of us will get good news in December!!!
Hey everyone! I’m from Chicago and visited Bowdoin twice and loved it!! I did an official visit over the summer and loved the academics, small campus, and the people couldn’t have been nicer! And I LOVED the Outings Club. If i get in, I’ll definitely join that. I’m very outdoorsy and camp in Maine every other year or so, so I really liked Bowdoin’s commitment to the environment and just their general setting. It’s so cool that they’re so close to the coast! Their campus is pretty. I applied ED 1 on the 13th or 14th. Hopefully some of us get in and we can be friends!
Does anyone know when ED results come out?
@suzyQ7 Everyone is expecting it on the 9th at 7 PM since last year it was released the second Friday of the month. However, the year before that it was released on a Tuesday, so plan for anytime next week! Good luck, also an ED applicant. (Friday at the latest)
When did you guys have your financial aid documents submitted by? I applied ED but something messed up with my IDOCS and my financial aid documents were late. Do you think I’ll still get a decision back? How firm is the deadline policy? I’m calling the financial aid office tomorrow. I’m really stressing out over it, if anyone can help I’d be really thankful.
I would not worry about the IDOCS because I had the same problem and I emailed the admissions people. They said that the IDOCS website is behind so the documents were taking longer to update.
anyone else nervous, seems like the results are coming out this week
When I was in contact with the financial aid office, they said that it wasn’t a very strict deadline for submitting through the IDOC, just as soon as possible for you.
I’m really nervous, I hope we find out by the end of this week!!
very nervous
I didn’t think I could stare so long at a portal just waiting to see if anything will show up, but hopefully something will this week. I am so nervous!!!
@warrior4 be on the look out for Friday at 7 PM!!! I’m super nervous too, good luck!!!
Is it a confirmed decision date from the admission office? I’ve been waiting for decision date email to come, but have not received anything yet…too nervous and impatient
