Bryn Mawr Applicants, Class of 2016!

<p>YAY!!! accepted! </p>

<p>so happy! the video was adorable!!</p>

<p>@pinklemonade where did you find your merit award?</p>

<p>They sent me a letter informing me that I’d been awarded a scholarship. I live pretty close to the school so maybe I just got it before everyone else.</p>

<p>oh ok thanks! do you mind my asking when did you get your letter?</p>

<p>I got it today at around 4 PM. It wasn’t my official acceptance letter, but it listed the amount of merit aid I would be getting over the next four years and it began with a “Congratulations!” :)</p>

<p>Accepted :)</p>

<p>I just can’t stop crying.
Time to find a new dream I guess.</p>

<p>Accepted! :D</p>

<p>2110 SAT, 32 ACT, decent essays, good letters of rec, Intel STS semifinalist, Intel ISEF finalist 2010 and 2011
Still waiting to hear back from a few more schools though…</p>

<p>Now some of my stats–</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted
SAT I: CR 800 MA 800 WR 680 (2280, superscore)
SAT II: Math II 800, Lit 700
IB grades: Junior first semester 36/42, Junior first semester 38/42, Senior first semester (mid-year report) 41/42
Awards: Honor Roll, Head of Year’s Commendation, Golden Award for Community Service
ECs: nothing much, just MUN, school magazine, cross country, global issues group, piano, badminton (no leadership position at all)
Work experience: worked at a law firm last summer
Essays: liked my common app (genuinely reveals an important aspect of myself, moving, succinct); why Bryn Mawr was good but not spectacular (genuine and specific)
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian (from Hong Kong)</p>

<p>Have been accepted by Wellesley also, still waiting to hear from 5 other schools.</p>

<p>Please help! I cannot log on. I was emailed the username and ID number, but I’ve never made a password before. I clicked password help, and it says to contact the college. I really don’t want to wait until tomorrow. Any suggestions? Thank you!</p>

<p>Another waitlist here, 2140 SAT and 3.8 UW GPA as a full IB diploma.</p>

<p>I posted this on the waitlist thread as well, but I’m just sharing my story.</p>

<p>So BMC wasn’t my first choice, but I did show a lot of interest and even visited overnight. It’s really disappointing, considering everything I do:</p>

<p>2090 SAT
31 ACT
Year-round athlete (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track)
This year: 4 AP classes, 1 Honors class, 1 College Class (chosen from the top 10 in my class)
GPA well over a 4 (out of 4, weighted)
Club officer
Consistent community service
Commitment to dance classes (for 16 years).
My “Why BMC” was actually pretty decent, and full of conviction
Apparently my recommendations are “stellar” as well. </p>

<p>This is just…disappointing, and I know there are even more qualified waitlisted students as well. I’m waiting on NYU, GWU, and Penn, but this situation is making me feel inadequate for these colleges. At least I have other colleges to consider as well. </p>

<p>Congrats to everyone accepted though!</p>

<p>I’m really involved in theater/music/community service?</p>

<p>I didn’t interview or anything either…I’m probably not going to end up attending since I’ve already been admitted to UChicago, but congrats everyone! Maybe I’ll visit just to make sure :)</p>

<p>Accepted! waiting on lots of other schools, but i’m really excited :slight_smile: other admits, have you watched the admitted students video? it’s adorable.</p>

<p>^Just watched. It’s so cute and I like the music! :)</p>
