I've heard nothing... bad?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Bowdoin College

<p>Unlike all the other schools to which I’ve applied, I’ve heard nothing from Bowdoin in terms of an online account for checking decisions, a letter confirming they’ve received my application, or an email of any sort. Nothing.</p>

<p>I called Bowdoin in in late January to ask them why I hadn’t heard from them, and they said they were sending out letters of application confirmation/information shortly… Now it’s mid-March, and I still haven’t received anything from them.</p>

<p>Should I be worried? Has anyone else heard not a peep from Bowdoin since applying? What do I dooooooooo?</p>

<p>That’s a bit odd. I applied January 1. On January 6, I received a confirmation email. Have you tried contacting Admissions again? Best of luck!</p>

<p>Yea, that is pretty weird. I received a confirmation email from them a few weeks after I applied. Also, they don’t release decisions online, just mail.</p>

<p>Hmmm… Well I think it would be in my best interest to call Bowdoin ASAP.</p>

<p>It seems they just forgot about me :(</p>

<p>if you didn’t receive a confirmation e-mail in january then i would definitely call.</p>

<p>i didnt hear anything either, but when i sent an update to my app, they said they added it to my folder, so i assume they got my app anyway…hmmm</p>

<p>yea i didn’t get a confirmation email saying they got my “app”, though they sent me an email that they received my application fee.</p>

<p>My son applied regular decision and got the email saying they received the application fee. I was worried about whether they had received everything they needed for financial aid, so I emailed the admissions office and asked. They replied that all materials had been received and the committee was reading applications and decisions would be made in the coming weeks. I think they just do things very quietly.</p>
