<p>I did not recieve niether email nor letter from Bates. What a hell???</p>
<p>yeah, still i didnt hear anything from bates.</p>
<p>I haven't heard anythin from Bates yet... I'm from Nepal
It is so hard to wait.... I'm quite sure that I'm not gettin in</p>
<p>I got rejected from Bowdoin and Bates but got into colby..... (weird?)</p>
<p>bates is like lower ranked than colby</p>
<p>2good2b2rue--
Bates is lower ranked than Colby in U.S. News but in case you do research on the subject you will probably find that the ranking is flawed in so many ways. Here (at Bates), many think the rankings are unfair because it punishes us for 1) our SAT optional policy and 2) comparatively low endowement. I went to HS in Maine and was always told (by Mainers) that you go to Bowdoin for the reputation, Bates for the education, and Colby for the parties. I can't speak on behalf of the other institutions but I can verify that Bates is indeed very strong academically. If you study statistics from Bates and Colby you will also find that Bates is more selective than Colby.</p>
<p>yeah i think we're all rejected. I mean they have already compiled admission statistics!</p>
<p>Wassup everyone,</p>
<p>I have a question for y'all: Do you know when Bates will issue I-20 forms to international students? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
