I don’t really do chances. You seem pretty strong, but aid might be a sticking point. I don’t know how Bates feels about internationals without test scores. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. Request a Skype interview, might be helpful. You can email the FA office and ask about aid.

Okay…
Thanks!

I’m with Lindagaf. I don’t usually participate in “chance me threads” because I don’t usually find them to be helpful or accurate. You seem like a reasonable candidate and I wish you the best of luck!

Just a parent that has explored LAC’s for the past 4 years. Bates is big on diversity. As an Int’l student, you fit the bill. Although you present no scores, Bates is test optional.Your subjective description is very noteworthy and well rounded and obviously presents you very positively…9% of class is international last year. Depending of course on your financial need amount, you may have a pretty good shot at being accepted but you might consider ED to give yourself the best odds…It all comes down to the odds game and how you can increase yours…Godspeed…
