ELIGIBILITY

Bates welcomes applications from students who have attended or are attending other institutions - including international students enrolled overseas. For the transfer applicant who has not yet completed a second semester at another institution, the high school transcript remains critical; for all transfer applicants, both high school and college transcripts are considered. Though Bates does not require a minimum grade point average, students who transfer to Bates generally have a college grade point average in the range of 3.5 or better (out of a possible 4.0) in a challenging liberal arts and sciences curriculum.
