[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. Bowdoin's acceptance rates for internationals is under 2% but the application numbers pad things making them look a bit selective more than they are.[/quote] This. Bowdoin had 13,265 applicants last year, 5,547 of whom were international. So 42% of their applicants are from outside the US, and they accepted 77(!) of them. That's 1.4%. There were 7,443 out-of-state applicants and 475 from Maine, so 7,918 total domestic applicants, of which 869 were admitted. If you're applying from the States, the acceptance rate is closer to 11%. Still very low, mind you.[/quote]
