Visited, but didn’t interview. I don’t know if I can still schedule one (I doubt it) but as soon as I get home from vacation I’m gonna try to.</p>
<p>Sorry about Swarthmore :( Your stats and ecs look amazing (SAT is waaay over, lol-- tollfree), but I think that your lack of an interview will count against you. IMO (and it's just MO, judging from my stats and my interview and subsequent acceptance) it seems as though Bates really places a lot of import upon the interview, because they value personal character a lot. I'd say, try to schedule one as soon as possible, if still possible. It'll probably make a huge difference. If you had interviewed, I'd say you'd be in no problem, but now the question is how much the lack of an interview will count against you. GL with Bates!</p>
<p>Surprised about Swat, everything looks great! And Bates is better anyways...I think you're good, Bates places a big emphasis on community service so I think your tutoring and habitat for humanity will look great. Definitely reinitiate contact with the baseball coach--if you are interested in pursuing the sport. Nescac LACs place a big emphasis on sports, so push the service and athletics! Good luck!</p>
<p>Sara- do you mind me asking if you applied to Bates and if you did were you accepted? I'm applying to Bates ED II and was wondering what you think my chances are. My chances thread is right below this thread.</p>
