How to get into Bowdoin

Applying to College
1

<p>Bowdoin is my #1 school. I visited last November and loved it (I am going to be a senior this year). I plan on applying ED I. How do I stack up???</p>

<p>SAT:
math: 690
writing: 660
c.r.: 640 </p>

<p>SAT II:
math 2: 700 </p>

<p>AP Microeconomics: 4
AP Lang. and Comp.: 4 </p>

<p>-Started my own drug and alcohol awareness club in high school.
-Was one of three selected to attend a teen institute last summer and returned this summer as a youth counselor.
-National Honors Society, Spanish Honors Society
-Semifinalist of New Jersey Scholars Program
-Volunteer for EMS (6+ hours per week)
-Currently enrolled in EMT course at local county college (will be an EMT by december)
-JV Tennis, Varsity Swimming
-Mentor for children with special needs
-p/t job for 2 years (9 hours per week) </p>

<p>So thats the basics. I take all honors and AP classes and get A-'s and occasional B's. My school is public but is ranked in the top 5 of the state, so it is good. PLEASE tell me how I stack up because Bowdoin is my absolute dream school.</p>

<p>You really can’t with those SAT scores…Look at comparable schools that are easier to get into (Bates and Colby, maybe).</p>

<p>Sat scores are optional at bowdoin. I think you have a good chance if your essays are well written!</p>

<p>Yeah SATs are optional. I’m not sending my scores to bowdoin either if my scores don’t approve by the October test</p>

<p>If I chose not to send my scores do you think they look at that as a bad thing? I mean I know they say it doesn’t matter, but does it really? Also, can I send them other SAT tests like Subject Tests and how about AP tests? Thanks everybody for helping me… I love Bowdoin more than life itself.</p>
