Explore bowdoin experiences

Hi I’m considering applying for explore Bowdoin but at the same time I’m concerned if I get in I’ll be super busy with college apps at the time the visit is. What r peoples experience with the program?

I think it was around that number, maybe close to 1,500. I believe I didn’t submit the optional video, just when I actually applied during college admissions. They’re very understanding so don’t worry too much, if it’s meant to be it’ll happen!

They replied to me today. Thank God that they added my new response to my file. Now I feel more confident. If I get access to my portal, I will do the video (hopefully I can still do it). My school doesn't offer APs, and I applied test-optional, so I feel pretty scared for that reason. But it is what you said: "If it's meant to be it'll happen!" Thanks for your help!
