[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just receive an email from Bowdoin this morning.  I can't copy the image here, but basically the email is about:

"What we look for in a college application:"

Academics (white color); Heart (light blue color); Income (orange); Test scores (Green).

The image shows a bar chart with half in white color, and another half in light blue.

My takeaway is that yes you can still submit the scores to Bowdoin, but no they are not going to consider it.  [/quote]

They definitely are still considering scores for those who send. I got the same email. The graphic is just intended to be eye-catching.

Bowdoin has been TO for a long time.  Nevertheless at our affluent NJ public HS in the past five years no one has gotten in with a score below 1500.  So it seems like when you’re coming from a school like ours, good scores are needed. [/quote]

Also in NJ here and we've had great kids go to Bowdoin too but definitely some athletes and legacies who didn't submit scores (and didn't get above 1500). That's how it works.[/quote]
