Hey Guys I figured since there is a lot of anxiety and excitement to hear back from ED that it would be important to know when Bowdoin tends to notify students of their decision? Any insight would be very appreciated.
I think they released decisions around Dec 9th last year and Dec 8th the year before (not sure). So decisions might come out around that time this year too.
Do you guys think their will be a delay in notification date due to the fact that the ED1 application pool increased?
Any Updates on ED release date?
I believe that Bowdoin tells you a couple of days before they release their decisions via email. I applied ED 1 too, and I am extremely nervous as well.
I just emailed an admissions rep who gave me an interview in november and he just told me that because of the extra apps this year they will be reading applications for a bit longer and he imagines they will be notifying by mid december. So do with that what you want I don’t know wether that means before december 15th hopefully its earlier than that.
I would say later next week, but definitely no longer than the 15th.
Agreed @johnjoe Hopefully it is before the 15th though, but Bowdoin is known for sending decisions out of fridays so the 15th makes the most sense.
No, not the 15th please. I just want it before that and get it over with. Hopefully they’ll break the norm and not release it on a Friday?
@StuckInRemission lets hope they do, I can’t take another 10 days of this. If anyone hears any updates please put on this chat. Thanks!
Good luck to all of you.
Thanks @TheGreyKing . They have sent emails out on wednesdays before so it doesn’t necessarily have to be friday. and @johnjoe its not a bad thing to worry about getting into a prestigious selective school like Bowdoin.
I disagree. What’s the point of worrying about something that is totally out of your control? Absolutely nothing.
Last year, Bowdoin admissions posted to their Facebook a day before the notifications were sent out saying the decisions would be available at 7:00 pm the next day. Waiting anxiously for that post! Best of luck to everyone!
Most other colleges have already announced their release dates and are releasing decisions this week. I wish Bowdoin would let us know when they’re releasing as well. That would do at least something to calm my nerves.
@johnjoe you may be a cool person who is acting like a jerk bc you’re anxious, but seriously dude, contain yourself. You’re poisoning these threads. Good luck to all. It’s hard not to have the notification date yet. I hope the committee pulls an all nighter and finishes by Sunday! Could be the toughest year ever to get into Bowdoin
@StuckInRemission I agree, but I also want them to take their time and not rush it. They take a lot of pride in their holistic approach and I don’t want them to sacrifice that for a week less of waiting for us. I’ll wait it out if I have to… I just want to get in!!!
They will probably break the tradition of releasing it on fridays due to the unforeseen increase in ED applicants. Im sure they will notify us whenever they get done regardless of what day of the week it is.
When you y’all reckon the results come out?
I would say next Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. But, I do feel like they will release their decision next Wednesday or Friday. Monday just seems like an odd day to release their decision. Also, Bowdoin DID release their decision on Wednesdays several times in the past years.
