<p>Congratulations on the acceptance… Bates is a great college! It is currently my first priority out of the colleges I have been accepted to… Just counting days to the 29th ~ to know all the decisions, Im sure everything will be clear by then…</p>
<p>Posting for a friend:
Accepted at Bates. 
Rejected at Colby and Bowdoin.
She is pre-med, she will decide among Rhodes, Furman, Connecticut college and Bates.</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!! I’m going for sure!!! Ecstatic!</p>
<p>I HAVENT HEARD anything!!! no email!! no mail is this online? im from jamaica!!! whats happening???</p>
<p>We’ve already talked about Bates sending decisions via mail only, no e-mails even for internationals. So I’m guessing you people, who already know, are mostly from the US?</p>
<p>Accepted… from Chicago!</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted! Bates offered an extremely generous scholarship!</p>
<p>Accepted from Miami, FL! Got a big, white envelope with priority mail postage (and a huge CONGRATULATIONS on the front cover. I’m so excited, I thought for sure I’d be flat out rejected with my stats. If Bates can give me an extremely generous financial aid package I’d be fully ready to commit to Lewiston, ME!</p>
<p>What do you think when I receive my decision mail from Bates?</p>
<p>I live in Japan by the way.</p>
<p>@miyasuke0216, I applied to Bates from Japan as well!! Lets cross our fingers!! </p>
<p>which part of japan do you live in?</p>
<p>ymak513, I am from Niigata but I temporarily live in Tokyo now.</p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
<p>D accepted today–from San Francisco!</p>
<p>@miyasuke0216, I live in Kyoto. btw, by any chance do u go to school called “shibu shibu”?</p>
<p>Im glad I found an applicant applying to Bates from Japan!</p>
<p>@ymak513,</p>
<p>I have never heard the school, called “Shibu Shibu”</p>
<p>What kind of school it is?</p>
<p>@miyasuke0216, Oh, ok. Its abbreviated name for 渋谷教育学園渋谷高等学校, which sends out a lot of students to colleges in US. never mind if u dont know it…</p>
<p>I am from Pakistan and I have not heard anything about the admission decision from Bates. However, I emailed them and they informed me that international candidates will receive an electronic notification by the end of this week.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. Argh. I won’t be staying on it, either, since they said people admitted off the waitlist do not receive financial aid. Oh well. :/</p>
<p>During this brief but very sensitive time, I hope that anybody posting decision would let us know about their location as well… It takes days for letters to cross the Pacific/Atlantic, so it really adds the anxiety for us internationals seeing fellow CC men receiving their decision like this.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. I’m kind of surprised because I got accepted to Colby. Isn’t Colby usually more selective than Bates?</p>
<p>@appleton1: Sometimes, people get into a really selective college and get rejected by their safety. It’s not that rare.</p>
