How are the research opportunities at Bowdoin?

<p>I’m a junior and Bowdoin seems like a lovely college and I will probably apply ED2 if (more likely when) I get deferred from Brown next year. I have yet to visit but from what I’ve read it seems perfect for me. I really like the idea of a small Liberal Arts College feel, but I’m planning on premed and I love doing research. Is Bowdoin the right school for me? Are there any good research opportunities?</p>

<p>Ehh while I’m here can you chance me for Bowdoin (you don’t have to the first question is really more important)? I feel like I have everything but the SAT scores >.< and I just got my Jan scores today (I took Dec as well) and I’m sort of freaking out. </p>

<p>I know I’m probably forgetting something but whatever. I just hate how college admissions seem so sporadic at just about every top school.</p>
