<p>Because Bates is SAT/ACT optional, you can decide which test scores to submit. Your ACT score probably won't help in admittance since it is on the lower side---you could choose just to send the SAT2s instead. Ask your guidance counselor. Your grades and activities look good for Bates.</p>

<p>i already visited and had an interview. does that increase my chances?</p>

<p>how selective is bates</p>

<p>I think they accepted around 29% of applicants last year. ED gives you an advantage. More importantly, Bates wants to accept students who will attend if accepted and will like it ---it is all about fit. If Bates is a top choice, try to convey that in your "Why Bates" essay or apply ED.</p>
