<p>i really want to know what size too.</p>
<p>last years ED applicants got big envolopes for Acceptance</p>
<p>hey guys! i’m a freshman at bowdoin 
congrats to those of you who got in! can’t wait to see you all at bowdoin next year! it’s an awesome place! </p>
<p>to those of you who didn’t get in, i know it’s upsetting right now, but i honestly believe things will work out in the end. many of my high school friends didn’t get in to their first choice schools (or even 2nd of 3rd choice for that matter!), and they are so unbelievably happy at the school they are at now. i know it’s initially painful, but just hang in there, and i know everything will turn out just fine in the end :)</p>
<p>p.s. at least last year the acceptance letter was a larger grey envelope/package… good luck!</p>
<p>Anyone else get deferred?
What do you think our chances are? Same as the rest of the RD pool or better/worse?</p>
<p>Man, this is an awful feeling. But really – congratulations on those of you who made it!</p>
<p>hey ifonly, i got deferred also, feel pretty crappy right now. Um, to be honest I think deferrals are usually worse than rejections (false hope). congrats to anyone who got it.</p>
<p>i can promise you that rejection is worse.</p>
<p>Fair enough yohten. It’s just that I’ve never heard of someone who got in after being deferred. I’m sure most of you have, but it’s a rarity at my school.</p>
<p>im not a bowdoin applicant(but im planning to apply soon), but dolphindolphin, just asking… "I’m sure most of you have, but it’s a rarity at my school. " how would these people have gotten in after being deferred? its only december, and ED1 decisions are just starting to be mailed out. fyi, people DO get in after being deferred, although the chances are not that big. rejection is pretty painful… especially if it was a school that you’ve worked really hard for. i thinnk you’re offending some rejected applicants, so i suggest you stop complaining.</p>
<p>I was talking about previous years tieeris. And I’m offending myself by even contributing to this site.</p>
<p>It felt pretty awful to get rejected. Believed me it’s ineffable. I could not say any words when I got my letter. I was just silent. For so long I could not believe that my dream is gone.</p>
<p>I am sorry nns91.</p>
<p>I know how you feel (well, kind of). Although I wasn’t officially rejected, I’m not confident going into the March review of apps. I’ve spent the entire day crying sporadically…</p>
<p>+1 ifonly. Not the best of weekends</p>
<p>now for the 3 weeks of hell trying to get everything together. i will never put all my eggs in one basket.</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>yohten did you get in? </p>
<p>im wondering if any students of color got in - i still havent recieved my letter and am hoping to be part of that 35</p>
<p>i did not get in. so thats 1 outt.</p>
<p>Hey so out of the 35 students of color, does that include Asians and every other URM? Doesn’t that seem quite low? Only 35 out of 150 acceptance…</p>
<p>Only 8 international students got in. Unfortunately, I am not one of them, probably because I applied for Financial aid.</p>
<p>To all you guys who got deferred: don’t worry! I’m sure everything will work out for you all and just because you didn’t get in early doesn’t mean you won’t get in at all; I know a good number of people who were deferred by their #1 school and got in during regular decision or off the waitlist. </p>
<p>For those of you who are wondering what the acceptance envelopes look like: they’re on the thin side. They are kind of deceptive; I was so nervous that I didn’t get in but once I opened the envelope and the folder inside, I saw the acceptance letter. Don’t worry if you don’t see a fat envelope!</p>
