Rejected gayness

So I applied EDI to Bowdoin as well, and unfortunately I didn’t receive the “big, skinny” envelope but a small, skinny envelope with a “We are sorry to inform you…” beginning. I’m not going to be really bitter about it, because there’s nothing I can do about it now and I know that I would have been ecstatic about getting in (had I gotten in, of course). In my letter it stated that there were a record number of applications, so I guess that made me feel a little better. Like your friend, SandyRunner, I had excellent grades, great ACT/SAT scores, was captain of varsity field hockey, president of our high school’s community service club, etc. However, I guess I was just like the rest of the highly qualified applicants (like your friend). So whatever, I’m not going to say that “Bowdoin’s a bad college” or anything because that’s just not the case; I think that they really DID have a strong applicant pool this year, and be sure to tell your friend that there are definitely other people in her boat!
