<p>Hi guys,</p>

<pre><code>I’m a sophomore student living in NYC, and i’ve been researching colleges since 8th grade. Yeah, that’s kind of weird, but it’s better to be prepared. Anyhow, I researched into Bowdoin, and I really love it! It think it is one of my top three choices. But after hearing all of your statistics (from the guys that were accepted), i’m feeling a little overwhelmed. Could you express what you’ve done over the summer, or your GPA, or SATII scores, SAT scores, and what you think got you in? PLEASE GIVE ADVICE!!

<p>Bowdoin, Colby and Bates doesn't require SATs and if you don't have -great- scores, then don't send them in. I didn't send mine in, and I got in. Definitely work hard at the essay, do an interview, VISIT BOWDOIN and make sure they know that you WANT to be there.</p>

<p>Correction: Colby does require the SAT 1, but the submission of the SAT 2s are optional. At the other schools you don't have to submit either.</p>
