What qualities is Bowdoin seeking in an applicant?
The Committee on Admissions is seeking to bring to the College students who are bright and engaged inside and outside the classroom, and who demonstrate curiosity and a willingness to ask questions and take intellectual risks. Bowdoin is a vibrant and vital community of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. For each entering class, we are interested in men and women who respect different views, opinions, and backgrounds, and who welcome the challenges born of such diversity. For additional information, please see the Class Profile for the First-Year Class of 2012.
