[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bowdoin and Amherst acceptance rates are artificially low because they are need blind for international students. This adds a couple of thousand extra applications every year. Bowdoins acceptance rates for internationals is under 2% but the application numbers pad things making them look a bit selective more than they are.[/quote]

I still think it’s an insanely tough admit for DMV kids. I feel like recruited athletes and legacies are demographically similar to many DMV applicants and they need to fill those few remaining unhooked spots with different types of kids and not just ones from the same high performing urban centers.[/quote]
Every top lac is basically the same numbers game with a few quirks. With Williams you’re gonna see a lot of love for NYC privates. With Pomona you’re going to see internationals all from UWC and particular types of private schools getting various acceptances while others barely get 1 acceptance every 4 years. Bowdoin has a bias towards students from Maine, will get strong ED picks from top private school students in urban areas and a desire to fill geographic diversity. [/quote]
