Early Decision Applicants - 2017

<p>Yeah I was pretty skeptical…a shame though, some sort of guarantee would be lovely</p>

<p>I know! But I do think we will know by Dec 15th! I heard they are emailing out the decisions this year.</p>

<p>oh that would be excellent! Though I do live abroad so I’ll get an email in any case, but they should really email everyone–the wait is absolutely agonizing!!</p>

<p>I don’t mind the wait as much. But I would really like to know soon so I can move on if it doesn’t work out. I am procrastinating on my other apps, because I don’t want to do them for nothing…</p>

<p>Aha cookieis, that is exactly how I feel.</p>

<p>Haha, I guess one more week of not working on college apps is not gonna kill us. What other schools are you applying to if Bowdoin doesn’t work out?</p>

<p>Cookieis77 where did you hear that they’re emailing the decisions?</p>

<p>A friend of mine emailed the admissions officer.</p>

<p>The language used in that email was very bizarre. “As you move though the application process” So misleading! My daughter applied with a great understanding that the odds were against her, but after this email she has some hope. What did you think about the tone of the email?</p>

<p>It’s the same email for everyone who applied for aid. I wouldn’t make any assumption base off of that</p>

<p>The FA email does not indicate or imply anything about the application or admission decision. The officer told me these when I called Bowdoin. Chill…</p>

<p>Did the officer tell you when they will notify us?</p>

<p>it’s Day 10 already!! Why still no announcement :(</p>

<p>I heard that they might send letters only to accepted students and email everyone else</p>

<p>Modef82: Where did you hear that from?</p>

<p>does anyone else’s financial aid portal say that it’s inactive?</p>

<p>i just checked and my daughters is also inactive.</p>

<p>I just called admissions. They said they will be EMAILING decisions this year. I asked the woman when they would be released and she said “By next week. It says mid-December.” AHHHHH. I think we’ll get it by this Saturday but possibly sometime in the next few days.</p>

<p>YES!!! I love that they are emailing the decisions!!!</p>

<p>me too, because then I don’t have to see the size of the envelope and freak out if it’s on the small side. it will be a quick click on the email, not a grueling opening of an envelope :P</p>
