Questions about applying through QuestBridge?

Yes. You may choose to submit the Common Application or the Coalition on Scoir Application instead of using the QB application. However, you do not need to submit another application in addition to or in place of your QB app to apply to Bowdoin. If you choose to use your QB application, you will need to complete the Bowdoin supplement form which will appear on the checklist in your Bowdoin Application Portal.

Indicate your intention to apply Regular Decision to Bowdoin by contacting QuestBridge using the QB Regular Decision Form, and QuestBridge will forward us your application in December. If you are applying ED1 or ED2, email us your QB ID number and intended round prior to the deadline for that round. In all cases, you will need to complete the Bowdoin Supplement and have your school counselor send your most recent transcript. ED applicants will also need to complete the ED agreement. The supplement and any ED agreement can be found in your Application Portal.

You will not need to re-submit anything, but please do complete the Bowdoin Supplement found in your Application Portal and have a school official send us a transcript with your midyear grades when it becomes available.

There are several options for submitting materials:

Electronically: We receive materials through a multitude of electronic services, including but not limited to: Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, SCOIR and Slate.org
Email: appmaterials@bowdoin.edu 
Fax: 207-725-3101
Mail: Bowdoin College Office of Admissions, 5000 College Station, Brunswick, ME  04011 

Recommendations, transcripts, grades, and school reports must be submitted by a school official.

Please contact QuestBridge directly to let them know of your desire to withdraw from the Match Process.

We will accept the transcript that comes with your QuestBridge application. Please also ask your school counselor to send your most recent transcript (Quarter 1 or mid-year) when it becomes available.
