<p>my essay was very touching— talking about my family and my voluntary work. i will go to Thailand to do the voluntary work with my friends this summer--------------soooo cool!!!</p>

<p>Ivey, you appear to have a strong application profile. Bates ED 2 letters are arriving. Have you heard?</p>

<p>In our house it’s a deferral to the regular decision pool. Letter says the ED 2 candidates were very strong and Bates only could accept a small number.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I didn’t hear anything from Bates regarding my ED II ! I’ve emailed them to ask. As an international student it may take more days- but they should let me know via email! Will wait… btw, how is your d’s profile?</p>

<p>D is 3.5, 1990 SAT, an asset to her high school, very involved in sports and music. Lots of great activities and interests. Loves learning. Loves Bates. Mid-year grades weren’t available in time and AP english recommendation was missing (teacher error). Bates still hasn’t provided an application ID number for tracking these things.</p>

<p>Have you received your letter from Bates?</p>
