<p>To the person who asked about getting the help of the tennis coach, it’s much easier for the coach to help you during the early decision phase (either ED I or II) of the admissions process. This is due to the fact that there are various regulations on the number of applicants who can get a slight bump through the admissions process based on their atheltic accomplishments. Because of these numerical limits, the coaches prefer to focus their support on athletes who are absolutely certain of choosing Bowdoin. And the coach’s ability to help you will rise in direct relationship to the quality of your athletic achievements and the likelihood of your contributing to one of the Bowdoin teams.</p>
