<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was just curious what my chances of getting in were solely based on my SAT I scores and GPA.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.68</p>
<p>CR:540
Math:620
Writing:480 </p>
<p>I took the SAT summer of freshmen year. I plan on taking it again this year. </p>
<p>How are my chances?
Thankyou.</p>
<p>to be honest, the SATs need to be higher and the GPA could be a bit higher...of course there are tons of things weighed in on your application and you don't have to submit test scores.</p>
<p>Bates doesnt require SAT scores... so dont submit those :-</p>
<p>GPA is fine in my book though. But Bates really places more value on the person than the numbers I think.</p>
<p>Could someone help me with my relative chances at Bates....</p>

<p>Could someone highlight my chances for these colleges...especially for Bates...Leadership is my strongest point and I have tried to focus on that throughout my app....even my personal essay..</p>
<p>my daughter just go into bates!. your scores should definitely be submitted , yur grades are fine, but try to arrange your ec's toshow that u have stuck with something all 4 years and risen to positons f leadership within that particular thing. colleges don't want to see a long list of many different activities, but a few that u have maintained all 4 years ad risen within those ranks to a positon of leadership. i guess i am saying focused leadership! also being male and from Nepal is a plus!</p>
<p>Regarding the scores, I would have definitely submitted them but some of my friends who are also doing Bates from Nepal have better SAT 1 scores, as for SAT 2 ...yes I will submit them...and yes I have focused my application to prove my interest and potential in leadership...fingers crossed now...and congrats to you and your daughter...I hope I can meet her this fall...(although it's still far away from me)</p>
<p>did u hear a negative from vassar? saw that it was early?</p>
<p>Yeah...I got deferred from Vassar...( I hated that so much..)</p>
<p>and btw..how good is Bates with financial aid to internationals???..coz I need a lot of aid...I can pay at max 3000$ only....</p>
<p>Bates is known as one of, if not the best school for international students financial aid. i read that in a reputable college guide</p>
<p>Great!....nice to hear that....</p>
<p>shail your stats are great yah SAT's are impressive. I think you'd be admitted</p>
<p>I had applied to bates for spring admission (very few seats were available, it had already stipulated in its website, though I turned myself foolish). And sadly I got differed. But I've not sent any letter to Bates or any other materials thenafter. Depressingly, I could not attend an interview in Nepal (It mentions --"you would be putting yourself at disadvantage if you do not attend an interview"). So, I think that I would be rejected from RD. What do you think about my chances?</p>
<p>I am not submitting SATs; Toefl well above min req; A-levels in Phy, Chem, Computing, Maths; Female; Some 10 ECs with leaderships and few extra awards.</p>
<p>Interview!!!!!!....is it really that important??...i mean do they have a representative here in Nepal?...and btw what were your grades Rigor_col?</p>
<p>yeh the interview, I was sent a query whether I would want to attend one, but I could not attend though. Yet I've my finger crossed. They have an alumnus here in Nepal dunno where!!!! in regards to your question, I would rather not post this time okay, I'm really sorry, my grades r probably above avg. anyway.</p>
<p>How's your application to Bowdoin, I've also applied there! No interview for Nepali!!</p>
<p>well..I have posted everything ....don't know anything else....</p>
<p>did you get acceptance from some college until now??? btw which is your 1st choice col for now out of those you've applied?</p>
<p>well i would take any one.....</p>
<p>Are ya applying to an ED? How many colleges yet to notify you about the result???</p>
