<p>I’m just wondering what my chances are for getting into Bates. I visited in the summer and I absolutely loved it. It is my first choice school, however I did not apply ED because of financial issues. I noted this in my essay though. I had an interview and it went extremely well, but I’m still stressing about my chances. </p>
