<p>Does Bowdoin send the coveted “likely letters”?</p>
<p>No. D3, verbal only, NESCAC.</p>
<p>^OP was probably referring to academic likely letters/early writes, rather than D1 commitments. I don’t know the answer to the OP, though, so OBD might be correct anyway.</p>
<p>I believe it does send out letters, in advance of admittance, to select students. You might check last year’s threads.</p>
<p>Bowdoin does in fact send out “early writes” - last year’s threads show accepted students reporting having received early write letters that were dated as early as March 12. I see on the Amherst thread that it was already started sending out “early write” letters (someone reported receiving one dated Feb 26) - I doubt that Bowdoin will be too far behind so the Bowdoin early write letters should start rolling out soon.</p>
