Just got accepted with the Presidential Scholarship!! :smiley:

@ricka8 It still says “Inquiry Access Denied” :frowning:

Accepted with the $25,000/yr Presidential Scholarship

Daughter Accepted! Merit Scholarship about half the big award. Congratulations all!

I got rejected. I… am very confused, and almost hurt. I put so much heart into this school, and did everything I possibly could. It was my top choice, and the only school left to accept me that had my major, so I’m heartbroken and unsure about my future. Good luck to everyone who got in. I wish you everything.

I got waitlisted. Does anybody know how common it is to get off the wishlist?

accepted!!! 58k financial aid :’)

For anyone else waitlisted, here’s how many people were admitted in past years according to their Common Data Sets (https://www.brynmawr.edu/institutionalresearch/common-data-set-cds)

2016-17: 0/444
2015-16: 0/427
2014-15: 33/351
2013-14: 22/333
2012-13: 5/415
2011-12: 7/352
2010-11: 21/392
2009-10: 39/213
2008-9: 7/174
2007-8: 20/200

It seems like a waitlist is more of a soft rejection to me (especially considering the past two years), but there’s always a chance! They may have a lower yield this year.

@AniBunny I’m so sorry! I’m sure you’ll figure something out :slight_smile:

@Fangirl1999 thank you, im just terrified. maybe its my anxiety. I have no idea.

@LeastComplicated, I have the same situation as you. Admitted but I get the same message when I try to click on any of the financial aid or award buttons . I however did not complete the document submissions for my financial aid application because my parents didnt think we would qualify for need based aid this year. Did you apply for need based aid ? I was expecting to get some merit and assuming I didnt get any if all those tabs arent working… but on the other hand am relieved to be accepted. However, it would make my final college choice much easier if somehow there is some merit aid which a glitch is preventing access to see !!!

@kodiakandrosita I called Financial Aid and they just said it wasn’t ready yet??? That it doesn’t mean that there isn’t going to be any aid, but just that it’s not ready. Need based financial aid was applied for. But they just haven’t got that info for me yet. So frustrating.

Accepted!!!

@LeastComplicated : oh… so maybe there is a chance ? but it would seem merit aid would be decidedwith the admissions decision, wouldnt it? i am feeling i better get the rest of the financial aid documents in now, even if i dont qualify for financial need based aid, in case that holds up any merit aid decision (?)… although does that make any sense ? (lol)

I got in but the only way I know is by finding my financial aid. I can’t find an actual letter of acceptance anywhere.

@MacCollJac did you click on student center?

I had been on my phone when I first went through. On my computer I found a short congratulatory note but no letter.

congrats to everyone who got in! i’m a current student so if any of you have questions about anything, feel free to reach out to me.

I’m so surprised with how small my grant is. There’s no way

Omg I got in!!! Super excited!!!
