As I was reviewing my Bowdoin RD App for submission, I noticed all of my test scores are wiped out. This includes SAT Scores, SAT Subject Scores, and AP Scores. However, in the Bowdoin-specific questions, I elected to submit my scores.
Did this happen to everyone? Do I self-report my scores later on the Bowdoin portal? Please help! Thanks in advance.
Please help! Deadline fast approaching! Anyone else who applied to Bowdoin notice their scores on the Common App are blank?

This happened to me daughter also. She ended sending an email with screenshot of scores and the next day the local rep acknowledged receiving scores. My daughter got rejected ED and is heartbroken. I hope you have better results. It seemed like the perfect school for her.
I don’t know about Bowdoin specifically, but you can do as above poster suggests, or once you get an email from the school and can log into a portal you may be able to upload additional information. Also, you can certainly email the Admissions Rep for your area and ask about it.
I applied ED and Bowdoin allows you to upload self reported scores on to the portal after submission. Make sure you submit a few days before though because the self reported submissions deadline is the same as the RD application.
You could either ask your counselor to submit the screenshot of your standardized test scores to Bowdoin through his/her email or do it yourself (the first method is their preference thou)
Sometimes, an answer is there to be found.

You “have until the application deadline to suppress” scores. If you cannot report them on the app, I wonder if you inadvertently checked that you would not be submitting.
“…we will accept scores that are self-reported on the student’s application, reported by the testing agency, or submitted through the self-report form found in the Bowdoin Application Portal.” That means you have options.
