<p>You have a ton going for you. Your GPA is very, very solid, much higher than anyone I know who attended Bowdoin from my HS. Bowdoin loves community service, thats a plus. They don’t care about SAT, don’t worry about that or let anyone tell you that you need it. Bowdoin doesn’t care about IB courses like most colleges in the US, but its good that you did well. I’d say you are a solid fit. </p>

<p>Goodluck.</p>
