<p>hey pirate monkey...With your ECs and stats you have a great chance. Having said so let me also add this. The admission process in US is really unpredictable. The strong part of your application apart from ur Ecs and stats is the fact that u are offering to pay for whole education. I assume, this should bring u in 5% of international student pool who will be paying that amount...</p>

<p>I have applied ED2 in Bowdoin. I hope to meet u there. ...After all, thinking positively is the key, isn't it?</p>

<p>have you contacted the soccer coach?? every little thing might help, but i think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Thank you so much! Yeah, this whole process is really unpredictable! I was deferred at Brown :( It's my dream school.... oh well, I still have a slight chance. I do LOVE Bowdoin though!!!! They gave by far the best info session and tour of any colleges I visited. I know someone who goes there and she says she couldn't be happier anywhere else! I wish you all the best in the EDII round! Where did you apply EDI? See you at Bowdoin :)</p>
