Visit by Bates College

The visit by Bates College was very informative. Some tips for attending such events: 1)Be prepared to discuss your academic and extracurricular interests. To say you are interested in "sports" is not specific enough. 2) Remember that the college representative will take away from here a picture of German School New York students. Therefore, you must act in a way that reflects well on the school. Do not wear hats indoors, do not listen to your ipod, and certainly do not whisper and giggle during the presentation.

Some interesting details about Bates:

It is very progressive.
It has a very good reputation.
The admission rate to medical school for graduates is 90%. (That is very high.)
There are many opportunities to study abroad and a student can study abroad several times during his or her studies there.
Bates has no merit scholarships, but is very generous with its need-based scholarships.
Bates does not look at ACT or SAT scores, making this a good choice for those who are good at academic, but do not find their talent reflected in their test scores.
