[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty woke campus, combined with a relatively mediocre academic student body.  Of the entire freshman class only 73 submitted an SAT and fewer than 18 scored above 1490.

So Bates gets no NMSF, no high scorers.[/quote]
A bunch of students who didn't spend high school getting tutors and studying for an idiotic national exam? sounds awesome! I don't know when Americans lost the plot that we should have interesting, thoughtful people in college, not bots.[/quote]

I don't know how to break this to you, but, some of our kids spent all of about 10 hours taking 2-3 practice SATs over the course of their entire HS career ... and they still crushed it in one sitting.  Because they're legit smart.

Maybe Bates has these kids of this caliber, maybe it doesn't. We don't know, because they generally don't take the test at all.

My n=1 friend's kid at Bates now is one of those who "doesn't take tests well" so she didn't even try and only applied  to TO schools.  She is sweet and does okay and loves the outdoorsy vibe at Bates.  But she would be crushed at a place like U. Chicago or Swarthmore. Metrics matter.[/quote]
