The college welcomes applications from students who wish to transfer to Bates from other institutions. Bates transfers courses completed at accredited colleges and universities under guidelines established by the faculty. The college's transfer credit policy is described here. In order to graduate, a student who matriculates at Bates as a first-year student completes a minimum of 32 credits, which includes 1 credit earned from 2 Short Term courses.
A transfer student must attend a minimum of four semesters and earn a minimum of 16 Bates course credits, including 1 credit earned from 2 Short Term courses, to earn a Bates degree. While students may have earned more than 16 transferable credits at their previous institution, they must choose which 16 they wish to apply to their Bates record at the time of transfer. Students may not transfer in courses taken elsewhere to count as Short Term courses.
Submission of standardized testing results is optional. When a transfer student is admitted, the student's transcript is reviewed for transferable credits and allowable General Education credits. Bates welcomes applications from students attending other colleges who wish to enroll for a limited time as non-degree visiting students. Enrollment on a visiting basis can be for one semester or a year. While enrolled, visiting students pay the same tuition, room, and board fees and have the same privileges and obligations as regular degree candidates.
They are not, however, eligible to receive financial aid or to play an NCAA-sanctioned varsity sport. At the end of the term of study, a transcript of the visiting student's course work may be sent to the home institution upon request. To apply, the student should file the regular application for admission, indicating "visiting student" status, and submit the following credentials: an official college transcript, two letters of recommendation from college faculty, a letter of recommendation from a dean or advisor, a statement of good standing from a college official, and an essay explaining the student's interest in Bates and in becoming a visiting student.
Under the High School Scholars Program, arranged in conjunction with the guidance offices at local high schools, a limited number of qualified high school seniors may enroll in a Bates course each semester free of charge. Students apply through their high school guidance office to the Bates Office of Admission. Students receive a Bates transcript following successful completion of each course.
Each student is limited to 1 course per semester for a total of 2 courses under this program. High School Scholars who later wish to matriculate must meet admission requirements and are subject to decisions made by the dean of admission and financial aid and the registrar concerning the credits toward a degree, which may include consideration of courses completed as a High School Scholar.
Each semester, as space within courses permits, Bates admits community scholars, students who are not degree candidates. No financial aid is available for community scholars and they are responsible for any additional fees associated with a course. A transcript is available showing completion of each course.

This guide was written by Harvard graduates and SAT perfect scorers. If you apply the strategies in this guide, you'll study smarter and make huge score improvements.
Even though Bates College likely says they have no minimum ACT requirement, if you apply with a 29 or below, you'll have a very hard time getting in, unless you have something else very impressive in your application.
There are so many applicants scoring 31 and above that a 29 will look academically weak. If you're taking the ACT as opposed to the SAT, you have a huge advantage in how you send scores, and this dramatically affects your testing strategy. Here it is: when you send ACT scores to colleges, you have absolute control over which tests you send. You could take 10 tests, and only send your highest one.
This is unlike the SAT, where many schools require you to send all your tests ever taken. This means that you have more chances than you think to improve your ACT score. To try to aim for the school's ACT requirement of 32 and above, you should try to take the ACT as many times as you can. When you have the final score that you're happy with, you can then send only that score to all your schools. By and large, most colleges do not superscore the ACT. Superscore means that the school takes your best section scores from all the test dates you submit, and then combines them into the best possible composite score.
Thus, most schools will just take your highest ACT score from a single sitting. To quote their Admissions Office:. Superscoring is powerful to your testing strategy, and you need to make sure you plan your testing accordingly. Of all the scores that Bates College receives, your application readers will consider your highest section scores across all ACT test dates you submit.
Even though the highest ACT composite you scored on any one test date was 20, Bates College will take your highest section score from all your test dates, then combine them to form your Superscore.
You can raise your composite score from 20 to 32 in this example. Because you can choose which tests to send in, and Bates College forms your Superscore, you can take the ACT as many times as you want, then submit only the tests that give you the highest Superscore. Therefore, if your ACT score is currently below a 32, we strongly recommend that you consider prepping for the ACT and retaking it. If your Reading score is lower than your other sections, prep only for the Reading section, then take the ACT.
This guide was written by Harvard graduates and ACT perfect scorers. You don't need to worry too much about Writing for this school, but other schools you're applying to may require it. Schools vary in their SAT subject test requirements. Typically, selective schools tend to require them, while most schools in the country do not. We did not find information that Bates College requires SAT subject tests, and so most likely it does not. At least 6 months before applying, you should still doublecheck just to make sure, so you have enough time to take the test.
You should also have a 3. For a school as selective as Bates College, you'll also need to impress them with the rest of your application. We'll cover those details next. But if you apply with a score below a SAT or a 32 ACT, you unfortunately start out with the odds against you and have a tiny chance of getting in.
