Voices of experience
"We seek applicants who represent the best of Bates: talent, independence, motivation and a desire to make connections with the world...We read each applicant's materials and ask, 'Who is this person? What do they do? What do they offer? How do they think?'..." — Dean of Admissions Wylie Mitchell
