ED I apps projected to rise by five percent

Do you think that this is a significant enough increase to seriously impact the competition in the EDI pool? ]]> Bowdoin College Maxie91-220485 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/bowdoin-college/813375-ed1-apps-up-5-a.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/bowdoin-college/811103-bowdoin-too-small.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:42:32 GMT I am a high school senior deciding whether or not to apply to bowdoin this year. I lokve everything about bowdoin and the only thing holding me back is its size. I realize that the small size has many benefits (like close relationships with professors), but I am coming from a high school about the size of bowdoin and I know that at this point I am feeling very claustrophobic and ready to leave. I was wondering if any current bowdoin students could tell me how the small size of bowdoin has been socially and their experience there. Thanks!!

I looked thru the common data set but the profile seems to be for all admits, not broken down for ED vs. RD. Scary to see 690 applicants and 207 admits but it still is better odds than RD round. Good luck to all who applied early. Does Bowdoin post anywhere the stats for ED applicants separate from RD applicants?
