Bowdoin Selects Class of 2010

Bowdoin College sent acceptance letters to 1,172 applicants for seats in the Class of 2010. The College plans for a freshman class this fall of about 480 students.

5,401 students applied for fall 2006 admission to Bowdoin, making for a 21.7 per cent acceptance rate this year. Last year, 5,026 students applied and 1,220 were accepted.

Assistant Dean of Admissions Toby Brewster told The Bowdoin Orient that, as in past years, many of the admits who took part in Bowdoin's open houses or in the Bowdoin Experience had already accepted their admission offers. "We tend to yield very well on students who choose to attend these events," he said.
