waitlist

<p>Does Bates take financial need into consideration when selecting from the waitlist?</p>

<p>Yes, to the degree that most, if not all, financial aid funds were given to the students already offered admission, Bates generlaly does not offer FA to wait list candidates. As such, if you have great need you are at a disadvantage because they will probably offer the spot to someone who they believe will be able to pay full tuition.</p>

<p>Other Waitlist question: they say write to them if you want to remain on the waitlist. Do they want/prefer mail or email? Anyone know?</p>

<p>Has anyone who was WL after early decision period received some positive news?</p>
