Bryn Mawr ED II Class of 2020

Interested in hearing about the people applying for EDII this year. What kind of experience have you had with the application process? How they feeling about waiting til the end of the month? Any good experiences you’ve had with the school? Mostly posting this because of my own nervousness ;^^ , I’m interested to see what kind of classmates I may soon have. To anyone attending the school who may reading this, are your enjoying your time there? Love to hear back from anyone on their opinions.

Hey! I applied to Bryn Mawr ED II as well. The semester’s ending for me and I’m busy with finals etc (which is a good thing so I don’t spend so much time dwelling on the fact that results are almost here).
Just waiting till Jan 31 :-S

I could be wrong, but I don’t think notifications go out until February 1. At least that’s what many online sources are giving as the date. If you Google “Bryn Mawr Early Decision notification,” it takes you to a link on the BMC website that gives a date of January 31, but that page is actually from 2008-2009 as indicated by the web address. The current BMC site, to my knowledge, doesn’t give a notification date. Also, since January 31 is a Sunday, February 1 makes more sense. . . . I think I may be obsessing over this! :-w

That’s true - I didn’t notice that. For the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 pdfs, there weren’t any clearly stated notification dates. But on the 2012-2013 one, it says by Jan 31:

But either way, one or two days isn’t too big of a difference, so it should be fine :slight_smile:

Well from what I’ve found, last year the class of 2019 ED II decisions were posted on January 23. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/bryn-mawr-college/1725988-bryn-mawr-ed-ii-question.html
Hopefully we’ll get results back close to that date as well!

I just got an email today from the school from the the financial office asking for my parent’s 2014 tax returns and they told me that "The Admissions Office will be making their decision soon!

Also, I just noticed that the due dates on my “To do” list is all set for March 1. Is this the same for everyone else? I’m just worried this is is a sign that I may be deferred ;~;.

I just got an email regarding financial aid as well. It also says Feb/March for my “to do” list due dates so I think it might be the same for everyone.

Thank you for the reassurance! We have about a week window now to get our results. I’m getting nervous now everyt time I heard my phone go off. X_X Good luck to everyone here.

I was accepted ED I, so for me the stressful part is already over, but jeez I know how anxious you guys feel right now! Anyway, I just really wanted to wish you all a good luck, and I hope we’ll all meet on campus soon! :slight_smile:

how do we know if we got in? will it say something on the portal somewhere, are we getting an email, etc.?

It will say on the portal. some colleges send out emails, but most don’t so just keep checking the portal (that’s what I’m doing)

don’t worry, the march 1st due date is for tax returns, same date for all admission plans!

Well we got exactly a week from now until we know (at the latest). If you want to find out, you can check the portal.
or you can follow the Admission’s tumblr page if you are a tumblr user. http://brynmawrcollegeadmissions.■■■■■■■■■■/

i emailed them and they said last week of february/first week of march. i hope this is not true lol

That sounds really late. Maybe it’s for regular decision? Hopefully we’ll get results by the end of this month or early February.

“Early Decision II will be announced late in February or the first week of March. We will send out a packet via mail, but you will also be notified via email to check your BIONIC account.”

fingers crossed that they mixed up their dates or something

:frowning: That’s pretty late compared to the past years. I’m still hoping we get results by the end of this month. [-O<

According to the Bryn Mawr Factbook, published December 9, 2015, https://www.brynmawr.edu/sites/default/files/UG_Admissions1516_0.pdf ,
the decisions will be “mailed” February 1, though “dates vary slightly from year to year.” I would shoot an email back and ask if they meant late January or the first week in February. (Other “fun facts” in the recently published date are that the median combined SAT score of the freshman class entering 2015 has risen by 30 points over the previous year, and the number of applicants for the fall 2015 class has risen from 2,706 to 2,890, which seems to be a record. . . it’s not getting any easier to get in!)

^ Wow that pdf was so useful. Yup, I was expecting mid Feb latest for EDII results.
All colleges are becoming harder to get into. Best of luck to everyone here!

With results being mailed out by February 1st, wouldn’t it make sense they would simultaneously post the results on Bionic? I would expect that they would at least post the acceptance or rejection on there by then, with more information coming in through the mail.

I GOT ACCEPTED!!! AHHHHHHHHHH CHECK YOUR BIONIC
