What did you turn down for Bowdoin?

Hi sorry I have been busy a few days. I’m sorry if this all gets confused, I actually was just asking for barvoets reasoning behind wanting to attend Bowdoin more than those other schools which would have been a little higher on my list for different reasons. We don’t all apply to colleges on the same platform or for the same goals. I’m interested in Bowdoin because I like the idea of going to college in Maine. It’s nice and isolated. To some people this is a negative. To me, it’s a positive.

I definitely am also not applying to college based on the admissions rates. I want to find somewhere where I’ll be happy for 4 years. If I can’t get into a college, it won’t be my academics that keep me out, and then I’d probably be happier not to be there if they don’t think it would work to have me as a student there.

Anyway thanks for the thoughts on Bowdoin and why you chose it. I appreciate it.
