[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree admission % is low for both, but would point out that Bowdoin has been TO for 50 years and not just TO due to COVID. I don't think TO hurts at all for Bowdoin, but your chances are still small[/quote] This is the winner, can't believe it took 3 pages of comments for someone to point out the most obvious differentiating factor between the two schools. Bowdoin means it when they say they're test optional. For a kid applying TO, that changes the ballgame entirely because it means she won't be at a deficit compared to other candidates. It's still not a lock - Bowdoin is one of the best and most competitive LACs in the country - but if she has her heart set on those two schools, it should be Bowdoin over Middlebury. BTW I don't know the athletics piece of this at all, but most recruited athletes come in via ED1. So if your DD is going to play that card, she may not be able to wait until ED2 to do it.[/quote]
