[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s amazing about Bowdoin’s international magnet. What countries and why Bowdoin.[/quote] It's one of only 10 colleges that are need-blind for international students, so a lot of needy kids throw their hat in the ring, likely not realizing they have a 1.4% chance of acceptance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission[/quote] And honestly? I find the premise mostly false. You’re “need-blind” but you heavily restrict international applications, and still obviously take internationals from the best high schools in their country (aka Rich students). It’d be like saying your need blind and then mostly taking students from private boarding schools in Massachusetts. [/quote]
