<p>Hey! any transfer applicants out there? if so, do you know when Bowdoin supposedly sends out its transfer notifications?</p>
<p>As a side note, I recognize the incredibly slim chances of admission, so I’m thinking a little healthy commiseration is in order here.</p>
<p>Their website says decisions should be mailed out late April - early May, whatever that means. Still waiting here. The good news is, my daughter hasn’t heard from any of the 7 colleges she applied to, so this must be normal.</p>
<p>And yes, you’re right about the odds. A quick, back of the envelope calculation (using Bowdoin’s posted information), implies the acceptance rate for transfers ranges from 2.5% - 13.3%. Good luck. Hope you get in!</p>
<p>Transmittal Letter says that of 177 transfer applicants, only 2 were admitted this year! If the representation is accurate,why does the College even accept transfer applications?</p>
