congrats to all those who were accepted ED!
I was also deferred… Does anyone know what percent of ED1 applicants are deferred and then what % are ultimately accepted? (Rough estimates even)
No idea, but don’t give up hope. I’m a Bowdoin student, I know many people who were deferred ED1 last year and are here now.
I was deferred as well! Trying to look on the positive, and I hope the best for everyone else! My superscored SAT was 1470 and my unweighted GPA was 3.93!
@spoole16180 , did you submit your AP exam scores?
@2019RuralMe yes! do you think that may have affected my decision?
No idea, but I’d be interested to know. Bowdoin is a TEST optional school.
