<p>I think you have a really excellent chance of getting in… Try not to sweat it too much. Your test scores and GPA are excellent, and BMC loves diversity, so your international background is going to be a plus for you. I’m not sure how BMC considers high financial aid need for non-U.S. citizens, so that would be the only caveat…</p>

<p>I personally don’t like to do chances, so I will not comment on that. However, regarding financial aid for internationals, it’s very very competitive. Also, Bryn Mawr does not have an international relations major - you’d have to do it via an independent major. Do keep that in mind if you have to choose between various schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>I do not like to chance, either. It was just for fun. International relations is just my interest and I do not think I will stick to this major, either.</p>

<p>bump…</p>
