Colleges and Universities A-Z Bowdoin College

<p>I am thinking of applying as a transfer student to Bowdoin. It seems like an amazing school. I am not going to send them test scores. My stats break down like this:
HS GPA: 3.77 W: 4.3
2 APs (my school only offered a few) and a lot of honors classes
ECs Fairly good. I have a lot of interconnected ECs that show my passion in one area but I feel I might not be versatile enough.</p>

<p>College GPA: 1 semester: 4.0
Recs Should be decent I know the professor and have talked to them as well as having another class with them this semester
Essays: Having problems as I am having trouble not simply laying out why I want to transfer. I am going to try to make them more interesting.</p>

<p>Don't know much about Bowdoin specifically, but it's often very difficult to transfer into top LACs. Classes are small to begin with, and there is little attrition, so few spaces open up. Competition is often very tough for those few slots that do become available. </p>

<p>According to collegeboard.com, Bowdoin had 182 transfer applicants last year, and only 6 were accepted.</p>

<p>When I visited campus, my tour guide was a transfer student, but he acknowledged that it is extremely difficult to be accepted as a transfer. HOWEVER he is proof that it can be done, so apply and see.</p>
