Congratulations to the first batch of new applicants who have been admitted to Bates!
Looking back on the college process in high school, I remember how grueling the experience can be. However, now that I work at the Office of Student Financial Services, I had never realized it’s quite hectic up here on our end as well. Since it’s early decision season (the first round), the office transforms into a sort of a miniature Times Square, with frantic parents calling at least every six minutes to ask if we’ve received their W-2 statements while the staff bustles around on headsets attempting to restore the calm.
The office on a quiet Friday afternoon.
If you have any financial-related questions, please visit: http://home.bates.edu/admissions-tour/costs-aid/. (We’d be more than thrilled to assist you!) Financial aid is another reason that prompted me to apply to Bates early decision, and I don’t regret it for a second.
I find it phenomenal how so much work is completed in such a short amount of time, and I thoroughly appreciate that the efforts accomplished by such a small (but extremely competent!) team here at the office. There’s nothing better than throwing a little tea party every now and then.
