Chance an international for bowdoin?
hey guys, im an international student from the middle east
im originally asian, and would like to know my chances for bowdoin college

GPA: 3.93

ACT: 29
SAT: 1850
SAT2: Math2: 790
I don't think I will submit any of these since Bowdoin is test-optional (which is why I'm attracted to Bowdoin)

APs: Microeconomics (5), Macroeconomics (4), Statistics (5)
Next year: Calculus AB, Physics B, Chemistry

ECs: Cricket captain (6 years club, 2 years international); 1st place regionally. 2nd place internationally
Basketball (4 years); 1st place regionally, 3rd place internationally
MUN (4 years); ambassador, delegate, main submitter
NHS (2 years); member and head of tutoring
Amnesty international (2 years); vice president and activities director
Forensics and Debate (2 years); serious duet acting and oratory speaking

I will be applying as a math major and will not submit any standardized test scores. What are my chances? Should I expect any financial aid (I cannot afford Bowdoin at all)? Will not submitting any SAT/ACT scores affect my chances (It should not because they are optional)

Thanks!

Ballin - I believe that Bowdoin is not "needs-based" with respect to international applicants, which may sharply limit your opportunities.
