Hey, I am an international student from Beijing, and applied Bates in ED 2! It sounds that only no more than 10 days will ED 2 result be released!!!! So excited to hear!!!

Here are my stats? I had several email communications with current students and they thought I should have a good chance to get in...

Course load: Most challenging- all college-level courses... (yes, very tough... I had 12 finals in the last term!!)
Tests: I have submitted the SAT (2100.) but asked them to remove it from consideration. So no tests submitted.
General Ed. Requirements: Yes, I have to study Math, English, Social studies and Lab Science every term. As a result, I have 9 classes every day....

Oh, and forgot to say recommendations: they were great! my counselor wrote 3-page evaluations for me, and my math and english teacher wrote a lot of positive things for me. i also asked my supervisor of internship and arts teacher to submit the additional comments.

my essay was very touching--- talking about my family and my voluntary work. i will go to Thailand to do the voluntary work with my friends this summer--------------soooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivey, you appear to have a strong application profile. Bates ED 2 letters are arriving. Have you heard?

In our house it's a deferral to the regular decision pool. Letter says the ED 2 candidates were very strong and Bates only could accept a small number.

Hi,

I didn't hear anything from Bates regarding my ED II ! I've emailed them to ask. As an international student it may take more days- but they should let me know via email! Will wait...... btw, how is your d's profile?

D is 3.5, 1990 SAT, an asset to her high school, very involved in sports and music. Lots of great activities and interests. Loves learning. Loves Bates. Mid-year grades weren't available in time and AP english recommendation was missing (teacher error). Bates still hasn't provided an application ID number for tracking these things.

Have you received your letter from Bates?
