<p>I was told that the application checklist will be mailed and we will be given a user account/ pin code. Have any of you guys (who applied ED) receive that? If not, when do we get that?</p>
<p>My son is still waiting for his as well.</p>
<p>thanks MACLASSOF2013. i thought that i was the only one and was beginning to worry :)</p>
<p>Hi - my son still hasn’t received his. Has anyone else? Thanks!</p>
<p>ah i contacted bates and they told me that it hasn’t been mailed out yet</p>
<p>Thanks - we were getting antsy. Did they tell you when they might be mailing them out?</p>
<p>they are mailing the letters out this week.</p>
<p>Good to know. Thank you for the information.</p>
<p>My husband read on twitter than ED1 decisions will be mailed out (yes, mailed out) on December 18th. Here’s to hoping the US Postal Service does their job swiftly! It leads me to wonder why the kids need the pin/login numbers at all. BTW… My daughter still hasn’t received hers.</p>
<p>Will they be mailed out to international students as well?</p>
<p>Thanks. What twitter feed mentioned this? I guess having pin would be helpful to be sure that Admissions has all documentation but otherwise…</p>
<p>Found it under Bates College Admissions</p>
<p>I have also applied to Bates ED 1 !
But I have no idea if Bates has actually received all my documents!
I e-mailed the Admissions Office and got a reply that said that you will be provided a pin code etc soon.
This was about 10 days ago!
Not heard from them since
What should I do?
P.S I am an international applicant</p>
<p>I am also an international student. i dont think that they have mailed the pin code and username yet , but when i contacted bates, they told me that if any of our files are missing, they will email us. so, i dont think that there’s a need to worry. well, admission decision will come out soon. hopefully</p>
<p>They do let you know if they are missing information. Last week my son received an email that they were missing copies of our tax returns and W-2s from 2011 which they needed for determining financial aid.</p>
<p>I’m thinking those thin envelopes delivering the user accounts/PIN codes are going to freak a few people out.</p>
<p>After watching my daughter inspect the mail daily for the last three weeks, I finally called the admission office at Bates this morning. The login/PIN information was mailed on Friday 12/7. The mailing date for ED1 decisions is December 20th, although, as noted above, according to Twitter, they anticipate mailing the decisions around the 18th.</p>
<p>I think the upshot is that they will hear when they hear. My daughter has a friend who is a Bates freshman she said to get used to this. “Bates is slow. You’ll find out everything after everyone you know, no matter where they’re going to school.”</p>
<p>It’s going to be a long ten days.</p>
<p>So true- especially when it has been posted that they will be sending letter’s of acceptance via mail.</p>
<p>What I assume is my son’s PIN arrived in the mail this morning. I don’t open his mail so I can’t be certain, but it has the right look.</p>
<p>On the positive side, the arrival date of the PIN may give all you nervous candidates an idea of how long it takes for mail from Lewiston to reach your home mailbox.</p>
<p>Embarrassingly enough, I had had that thought. </p>
<p>No mail at our house yet, although I have had at least three texts from my daughter asking about it.</p>
