Bowdoin RD 2021

@MeHowPL congratulations on your Honors acceptance to Northeastern!! I’m an international student needing lots of financial aid as well, very close to full ride. things are really bad here financially as well and the fact that i’m an international seeking so much aid is making me really anxious, too. all we can do is wait and hope for the best now! :smiley: best of luck!

Intl student here too. I got defered from ED2, and I am expecting a rejection or wl. I go to a public school in China, which sent 3 grads to Williams last year, yet no one has received a Bowdoin offer in the last 10 yrs. so weird. hopefully i will break the spell. Good luck to all! :slight_smile:

@bubblemaker I have a feeling your school might’ve been blacklisted. (Most likely not)
There’s a school in my area where in 2007, seven students got into Columbia and all seven rejected the offer.
No student has gotten into Columbia since then.

My very competetive HS in Poland sending 3-6 students each year to Oxbridge and in my class of 44 there are 27 people with UCL offers, and basically everyone has a TOP UK UNI offer, there was no Ivy in 6 years, and only 2 in the history of the school. US is very rare here in PL because its considered way to expensive seeing how much easier it is to get into UK with the IB diploma we are all doing. Bowdoin is totally unheard of haha

@neuromaniac thanks, I was so happy yesterday, I really want to avoid going to the UK. US is just the place to study! I’m not seeking a full ride, just an amount that is not ridiculous and doesnt make my fellow countrymen stare in disbelief that college that is free in Poland and majority of continental Europe, can cost as much as an apartment in my city for a year and a house for 4 years :smiley:

@MeHowPL Hey! I live in America but am a Polish citizen and will be studying at Uniwersytet Jagieloński this summer! I applied to Bowdoin ED 2 and was deferred. Which part of Poland are you from? Gratuluje na akceptację do Northeastern!

@viclab Wow dziękuję bardzo! I’m from Warsaw, so not exactly Krakow where UJ is based, but whatever, Poland is a small country! That’s truly awesome! Poland isn’t as bad as many Americans think, we are slowly getting to become a true first world country, lacking a bit in the countryside, but Warsaw or Krakow are true European cities :slight_smile:

@MeHowPL @viclab You guys have Robert Lewandowski. You’re good to go on my books.

@cashme Yep, he is our national treasure, considered a hero in the country.
I just got into BC tonight! I can trade Northeastern Honors + BC for Bowdoin with $$$, any takers? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

@EllaNoble is it bigger than a dog?? I’ve been dropping the ball on the game, jeez

Prayers! [-O< [-O<

Over 2ft, but not by much

No, it isn’t. Good luck with acceptances from both!!!

Haha maybe the size of a large dog, or a bit bigger

19 more hours! I can’t sleep lol

Where are you guys from? I feel like their could not be more than 5 people who even applied to Bowdoin from the state of Oklahoma because Bowdoin is simply not popular in my state (although it should be considering its recognizable prestige among grad schools). I would like to know how committed Bowdoin is to geographic diversity (representing all 50 states and as many countries as possible), and whether it is considered an advantage to apply from a state like Oklahoma

California!

I really really really love bowdoin and its my first choice but I totally forgot to interview and just realized that interviews are strongly encouraged. I hope it doesn’t affect my chances!

@kidfromoklahoma5 There probably is some advantage to being from Oklahoma as it’s one of their least-represented states!

@Georgia101 Me too! I emailed my regional rep just to explain so that hopefully he would remember when looking at my app that I wanted to interview but missed the deadline.

So nervous… but today is the day everyone!!! 9 and a half more hours!
