Explore Bowdoin November 2012

<p>Has anyone received notification if they were accepted or not yet?</p>

<p>Not as of right now ;/</p>

<p>Did you get your notification yet?</p>

<p>My son hasn’t heard anything yet. The website says that everyone will be notified by today.</p>

<p>rejected :-/</p>

<p>Rejected as well. I think writing a bad essay didn’t help, but it probably wasn’t smart to apply November as well. From what I read, the September kids had less competition. Still, I wanted to see the fall colors :confused: (I live in Florida)</p>

<p>I haven’t heard anything back from them yet!!! :frowning: When did you guys hear back?</p>

<p>My son wasn’t selected either.</p>

<p>The selection process seems extremely competitive! Now, I am really scared :confused: When did you find out?</p>

<p>I would assume, however, that if you haven’t recieved your email. they must be preparing plans for you! Don’t fret. </p>

<p>My academics were strong, but my essay had too many errors and wasn’t inspired. It came off as forced. I knew when they said that we would not get the notification until today, I was toast. </p>

<p>I should have applied for September. Those guys got their notification the day after applications!</p>

<p>No way! I thought they were notified like a week after the deadline?
My essay was pretty polished and my stats are stronge. But I am asian, so… I don’t know. There are too many competitive Asians.</p>

<p>But I wanted to get the campus feel that is lacking in summer visits. </p>

<p>I don’t want to make you worry, but I am Asian. </p>

<p>But like I said, you are probably going to get in. They would have told you already if you were rejected.</p>

<p>ehh. I am not going to keep my hopes up too high. But it would be so awesome if I can go because no one has ever gone to Bowdoin from my school in the past 4 years and Bowdoin is not visiting my school :confused: I have very limited resources.</p>

<p>I got rejected :-(… I went to amhersts divoh so I guess the competition is more fierce for this program. </p>

<p>Has anyone gotten accepted yet? I haven’t heard anything…</p>

<p>Still nothing… We will probably have to wait till monday.</p>

<p>Got in :slight_smile: Anyone else received the email today?</p>

<p>Still am waiting for an email! Cookieis77, what does the acceptance email say? COngrats by the way!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Here is the email:</p>
