<p>hey people, do you know how big a role TOEFL scores play in the Bowdoin admissions process? a friend of mine from China (where they don’t offer the SATs) is taking her TOEFL test in December and she’s wondering how seriously TOEFL scores are taken at Bowdoin? (I don’t know since I only submitted the SAT scores) SHe’s applying to other high selective LACs as well. Any idea would be appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>I would think Bowdoin would place a relatively high degree of importance on TOEFL, because coming here without a command of the English language is going to make your life very difficult in writing papers, participating in discussion courses, etc.</p>
