<p>And, is it by email, website or snail mail? Also are FA decisions announced simultaneously?</p>
<p>I think the website says end of March/first of April. And since they don't have an online log-in, I'm guessing it's by snail mail, but we don't actually know! I HOPE they announce FA--it's sure important for the decision-making. Yipes!</p>
<p>From the 2008 admissions decision thread. Please realize that this was from last's year's threads and I have no idea if it applies to 2009:</p>
<p>"The Bowdoin admissions director has publicly stated that the early writes will be sent out in the second week in March (that would be March 10 - 14) while the other decisions will be sent out in the last week in March (that would be March 24 - 28)."</p>
<p>Also, from that thread was a link to this 2008 article:
Slight</a> increase in apps for 2012</p>
<p>I also noted two dates:
1) On March 19, 2008 a member mentioned that they got their decision a few days ago (matches the idea of an earlier round).
2) The next date was a rejection noted on March 29, 2008 (the second round of mailings?).</p>
<p>Are only athletes sent early writes? Or do students with academic hooks get them as well?</p>
<p>Two years ago my son got an early write-he was not an athlete</p>
<p>I hope I can get an early write so I don't feel this tense and nervous... :(</p>

</p>
<p>Athletes are generally admitted through the early decision process. Early writes tend to go those with academic hooks and URM status . .</p>
<p>so there are early writes here. i was actually wondering that because i got one from Williams yesterday and i had no clue they existed. i was so excited!</p>
<p>do all the LACs do them?</p>
<p>just so you know all mail comes by snail mail (no email notifications unless you are an international student). and i think they should arrive somewhere around march. 31st or april 1st. good luck!</p>
<p>For those of getting notifications from this thread. Two CC early writes reported today. So they did go out again this year. D is one of the two and she is no type of recruited athlete.</p>
<p>Personally, I prefer snail mail; it mitigates the suspense.</p>
<p>smoda61: Actually I think there were a few people who got early writes (more than two). I received my early write on the 17th and I am not an athlete either. Did your daughter get invited to Experience Bowdoin 2009?</p>
<p>colinization: I agree! Well, for the past few days checking mail has become like a ritual to me. lol</p>
