Official Bowdoin Regular Decision Thread

<p>I applied RD can't wait to hear..........</p>

<p>I applied RD too...when exactly will it come out? April 1st is just way too far!</p>

<p>According to the Bowdoin admissions director, decisions will be sent out in two waves: early writes in the second week in March and all others in the last week in March.</p>

<p>would early writes be primarily athletes and minorities? I've read that on some other threads</p>

<p>Thanks torasee, for telling me the info...but they don't send early writes to international students, do they? :/</p>

<p>Some early writes will be minorities - it has to do with giving them lead time to make travel plans for the Bowdoin "experience" weekend in April. Athletes are generally admitted through the ED process so I doubt that they would make up a significant number of the early writes. For the most part, my sense is that "early writes" are highly desirable applicants . .</p>

<p>Lara - I don't know the answer on international applicants although I would guess that they would be eligible for "early write" acceptances too if they had steller credentials . .</p>

<p>does anyone know the specific date bowdoin will send RD decisions?</p>

<p>piratemonkey I was wondering that also...</p>

<p>on the website it says early april but i hope they tell us a bit sooner :)</p>

<p>early april is way too indefinite. I need dates people!!!! If you find out outside this forum, could you please post it here :)</p>

<p>The Bowdoin admissions director has publicly stated that the early writes will be sent out in the second week in March (that would be March 10 - 14) while the other decisions will be sent out in the last week in March (that would be March 24 - 28).</p>

<p>ok thanks torasee.</p>

<p>Torasee---are you serious? March?? I thought it'd be in April. Thank you, anyway.</p>

<p>Yup - I'm reposting the article from the Bowdoin student newspaper with the details on the admissions process and the discussion of the two March waves of acceptances:</p>

<p>Slight</a> increase in apps for 2012</p>

<p>Thanks again torasee...and March 24 is just way too far...guess i have to wait till April to get the letter from them</p>

<p>wow i pray for acceptance</p>

<p>i really love Bowdoin</p>

<p>Bowdoin is my number one! For financial aid reasons I did not apply ED, but RD.</p>

<p>I called the admissions office to ensure that my application was complete and they said that all the letters would be mailed by the third week in March. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>wow, the third week of march as opposed to the fourth week of march? That's actually not too far away....</p>

<p>Can someone else confirm that info?</p>

<p>This is really scary to know---wow. That soon?</p>
