Bowdoin College is a private liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine. The Massachusetts legislature chartered it on June 24, 1794, before Maine became a state. Wikipedia reports about 1,800 students on campus, and U.S. News tied it for third among liberal arts colleges in its 2026 edition. Its alumni include Arctic explorers Robert Peary and Donald MacMillan, and the college keeps a notable Arctic connection. The Polar Bears compete in NCAA Division III in the NESCAC. Bowdoin is test optional, accepts the Common Application, Coalition on Scoir or QuestBridge, and charges a $70 fee that is waived for financial aid applicants and several other groups. It requires a counselor, a teacher and one other recommendation, plus a school report and official transcript. Interviews are strongly encouraged but not required, and financial aid applicants submit the CSS Profile and FAFSA.
