<p>i got waitlisted w/ a 2090 SAT, a 3.7 GPA, great EC's, good essays, and what i thought was a really good interview with an admissions office member. I'm not sure if it was really difficult to get in this year or i just didnt cut it.</p>

<p>My son was waitlisted, too.</p>

<p>@bananaphone: I guess I'm so lucky. My SAT and GPA are waaaaaaaaay worse than yours; I didn't even have an interview. Maybe it was all about my essays. Perhaps they brought me in.</p>

<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: I am shocked...I get into Bowdoin, Claremont McKenna and Colby but waitlisted here?</p>

<p>any intl student got in yet ???</p>

<p>I am intl. and I heard nothing from Bates so far...</p>

<p>same here..</p>

<p>i am an int student from turkey and heard nothing...</p>

<p>i haven't either....</p>

<p>rejected -_- screw bates
im going to bowdoin~~</p>

<p>it's actually pretty common to get into bowdoin/colby and not bates. bates has sort of an alternative admissions process. bowdoin is awesome though, many people prefer it over bates anyway.</p>

<p>i'm intl and got accepted by e-mail from Bates on 03/23</p>

<p>Accepted....Not me, a friend. This is the first reply he's gotten from 13 schools applied to (9 elite LACs & 3 Ivies). Bates has the earliest decision time for transfers.</p>

<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!!! (received Priority Mail today, Saturday...no email notification)</p>

<p>Non-Traditional TRANSFER applicant - Community College student</p>

<p>SAT: NOT sent to Bates, not required.
SAT IIs: not taken
College GPA: 3.97, Strong Honors curriculum
HS GPA: very low</p>

<p>Other stats:
Subjective:
Essays: Personal was pretty good - tells a personal story (see hook below). Why Bates? essay was very businesslike about educational goals.
Teacher Rec: Probably very good from 3 PhD college profs, 2 are profs at elite LACs (didn't read)
Counselor Rec: Another PhD prof & curriculum chair. Probably very good. (didn't read)
Interview: Didn't have one.
Hook (if any): Several. High achievement later in life (starting in late 20s at work and early 30s in college) after coming from family/religious background that said no to education. Success at a very challenging Vassar summer program. Diversity on several levels. First generation college student.</p>

<p>Location/Person:
State or Country: Northeast US
School Type: public
Ethnicity: Multi: African-American/White/Am. Indian
Gender: M</p>

<p>Other Factors:
Extracurriculars: Leadership in school organizations, mostly academic-related. Several Honors & Academic awards. A page full of stuff, mostly academic. No sports. No arts.
Why I think he was accepted: Demonstrated consistent success in college despite background that explicitly rejected higher education. A good story, pretty well told, and completely relevant to many educators' missions.</p>

<p>Other thoughts: Very exciting indeed. Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Waitlisted. I thought I'd get rejected so it was a pleasant surprise, actually :)</p>

<p>According to Bates College Pr0wler <a href="http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN1596580089&id=7NQQecwRExoC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&ots=WvsrFb4DNH&dq=bates+college+*******&sig=LsmVmDISydmWlkCHGXzhHVEU7DM#PPA2,M1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN1596580089&id=7NQQecwRExoC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&ots=WvsrFb4DNH&dq=bates+college+*******&sig=LsmVmDISydmWlkCHGXzhHVEU7DM#PPA2,M1&lt;/a> </p>

<p>Bates placed 800 on wait list and accepted 300 of those</p>

<p>300 is a missprint. it is not even near that</p>

<p>that is a very old version of the book (of which i own the newest copy) and it has other misprints such as 0 accepting place off waitlist which is also untrue</p>

<p>are there any int'l who got his/her rejection by e-mail ?</p>

<p>not me.. i'm 99% sure i'm rejected though</p>
