Explore Bowdoin 2015

<p>Did anyone else get an email to sign up for this all expense paid trip this fall?</p>

<p>I wish! No, I did not get one. What is it?</p>

<p>I guess it’s a four day all expenses paid trip to visit Bowdoin in either late September or early November. The visit includes classroom sit ins, financial aid forums, and shadowing current Bowdoin students. And it doesn’t even seem selective lol. They said that early applicants are preferred so if you apply early you have a good chance at acceptance :D</p>

<p>Hi again elbeeen! :wink: But, yeah I just got this yesterday. How good of a program is Explore Bowdoin?</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into?</p>

<p>I have no idea how good the program is hahaa but it’s longer than most of the programs I’ve been invited to so maybe it’s more packed with stuff lol. And it doesn’t seem very selective! I guess it’s just early applicants are preferred :]</p>

<p>I applied! I sent in the online application, and today I had my school fax my transcript and senior schedule. Are you mailing the release forms?</p>

<p>Yeah I’ll just mail everything that’s not online in. :]</p>

<p>Are you guys getting a different application than I am?</p>

<p>I don’t know. I did the one online. It had me write a 250 word essay, asked for my SAT scores, my airport, my GPA, rank, phone number, etc. Then, I got an email confirming my application and it had an attachment with something for my counselor to fill out. Is that what you got Rosco1292?</p>

<p>Yes, that’s what I got too, but I haven’t filled out the online form yet as I’ve been rather busy and don’t want to start something I can’t finish in one sitting…
Thanks sara12! :)</p>

<p>Yeah I got it too but how hard is it to get into? Have you submitted anything yet?</p>

<p>I submitted my application and forms… hoping to hear back soon. Does anyone know how long we wait?</p>

<p>About to apply for the October deadline!</p>

<p>My D just got emailed her acceptance today. She’s excited & will be attending.</p>

<p>Hey guys! Do we mail or fax the overnight visiting form?
Thanks!</p>

<p>You fax the overnight visiting form. I haven’t received a rejection/acceptance to the program yet. I have a huge, overwhelming feeling that I’m going to be rejected. Was it a letter in the mail or an email, PGonzales?</p>

<p>I got my acceptance to the program yesterday! It was in an email.</p>

<p>Get the heck out?! I feel like it was due less than a week ago. Geeze, Bowdoin is proficient - they don’t waste anytime.</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS =D</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone accepted! I hope you all have a great time. I called today and they said acceptances will come in the next week or so.</p>

<p>I turned mine in August 12th… maybe because I turned mine in later, they’re looking at it later? It’s a last hope… trying to convince myself that I still have a chance…</p>
