Information Especially for … International & Overseas Students

Bates requires the Common Application, plus a supplement. Both the Common Application and the Bates Supplement are available online  from CommonApp.org  or can be printed from the links below.

There are additional forms for international students and special requirements for transfer and non-traditional students .  Feel free to call us at 207-786-6000 if you have questions and remember to check the deadlines, financial aid procedures, and the checklist. Good luck!

Note: If you exceed the essay character limit set forth by CommonApp.org, your essay may be cut off. We strongly recommend you "preview" your application prior to submission. To ensure that we read your entire essay, please consider submitting a hard copy by mail with your application fee.

First, you' ll need to download a free copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader so that you can read the PDF format.
Next: Download the pieces of the application you need.

* If you experience problems downloading or viewing the downloadable Bates Supplement, try the following:  Make sure "source" or "binary" file format is selected in your browser' s download ("Save As") window that pops up when you click on one of the PDF links above; See Adobe' s help sheet regarding viewing problems.
