<p>I got waitlisted to Bowdoin, and I was wondering how many waitlisted students actually get off the waitlist. I’m really hoping that I can attend Bowdoin, as it’s a college one of my parents attended and it’s in my hometown! (although I only lived in brunswick for about 2 years)</p>
<p>According to the Bowdoin website, the number of applicants taken off the waiting list has ranged from 5 to 50 in recent years. I know - not very helpful!!! Last year, it seemed as though Bowdoin took a lot of applicants off the waiting list (more towards 50 than 5). Notices starting going out within days of May 1 and continued throughout most of May. It seemed to be done on a rolling basis. I wouldn’t give up hope, especially if you have not requested FA (the need blind part of things disappears when it comes to the waiting list).</p>
<p>thanks! I will stay on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Hey are you still waiting to hear back from Bowdoin? Because I too am on their waitlist, and am beginning to wonder if they forgot about me…</p>
