<p>I’m so worried but so excited at the same time! Counting down the days until April 1st… <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>Will decisions be posted online?</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr admissions called my guidance offic last week asking for mid year reports ....apparently they were going to make decisions this week ....not sure what they meant by that but....really jittery =s</p>
<p>As far as I know, decisions won't be posted online.</p>
<p>I think someone on here said that we should be getting decisions next week... yikes.</p>
<p>Next week?! AHH!</p>
<p>I need to go buy some ice cream. If I get rejected, I can cry over a pint of Ben & Jerry's (mmm Phish Food). And if I'm accepted, I can rejoice over some victory ice cream. <em>bg</em></p>
<p>Are you guys going to definitely attend if you're accepted? I REALLY want to; it's my first choice and I've been having serious panic attacks over being rejected at BMC. Kind of dorky but true. <em>bg</em> It will ultimately demand on how much aid they decide not to give us... :/ Does anyone know how they recalculate EFC? I know it's lower than what it is for FAFSA, but if anyone could give some hard numbers, it would be most appreciated ^^ My family's FAFSA EFC (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) is way too high to get any need based aid.</p>
<p>It's between Hollins and BMC and it will all come down to money. <em>crosses fingers</em> Both are women's colleges, though, so I can't lose! ;)</p>
<p>Hehe. XD I personally like just plain old vanilla- the Wawa down the street from my house sells them in mini-pint things.</p>
<p>I'm kind of at peace with it now, if that makes sense. I think I'm a good canidate for BMC and if they reject me, then I know I'm going to be okay with it. </p>
<p>But of course, that's what I'm saying now. :D When I actually have the letter in my hands (good or bad) I don't know what I'm going to do... heh.</p>
<p>I'm almost definitely going to attend if I'm accepted. It's my first choice and I don't mind all the loans I'm going to have to pay off; the experience (in my opinion) will be worth it.</p>
<p>I have no clue how they recalculate EFC... but the FAFSA kind of screwed me over as far as aid goes as well. My dad recently changed jobs and now makes considerably less than what he used to make, but my parents still have substantial savings... so my EFC was WAY higher than I expected and beyond (from what I could tell) any federal need based aid. Oh well- I'm not really thinking about the money now, I'm more worried about being accepted.</p>
<p>Yayyy women's colleges. For me, it'll probably be between BMC and... oh, I don't know. Either Dickinson or U Del or Ursinus... it's going to depend heavily on where I get in, and then it'll depend on where I get need based/merit aid.</p>
<p>Anyway, I'm done antagonizing about college.. I'm off to bed. :)</p>
<p>Hey guys. I'm a current frosh at BMC, and I decided to haunt this again because I remember how much people here helped me. A lot of people I know got excellent financial aid from BMC, so please come to admitted student's weekend and pursue it if you don't get the award you need. </p>
<p>Enjoy the ice cream, hopefully celebratory, and please email me with any quuuuestions. message me for my email. Good luck!</p>
<p>hey shanabelle
how's finaid at bmc
is it mostly in grants or loans?
bmc is prolly in my top 3 choices but i just got a scholarship ofat least 16k from lafayette, and they'll cover all need-based aid with grants
so
i think i'd love to go to bryn mawr, can totally see myself there, but money is an issue for those of us that are middle class from expensive states. sorry for the rant.</p>
<p>I'm so incredibley nervous. I'm preparing myself for the worst, which I feel horrible about. My mother says I'm sending out negative energy. Haha.</p>
<p>This is the week (right? Hopefully!</p>
<p>Ahh! I hope things go well for everyone!! :D I'm preparing myself for the worst, too, boredgrl... Up until now, I was thinking to myself, "I have a decent shot. My stats are all in the IQR, my grades are good, I took as many APs and Honors classes as I could, I wrote a really good essay and I was really earnest, etc." Now I'm just panicking and thinking of how they're going to reject me because I'm REALLY bad at math and oh GAH.</p>
<p>:</p>
<p>This guy I like is supposed to be asking me to prom (that's what my friends have been telling me as that's what he's been allegedly telling them). Hopefully I have two things to celebrate this week!</p>
<p>No matter what happens, I've stocked up on all my ice cream. ;)</p>
<p>are decisions really being mailed this week?! AH. i hope so, because i'm going on a school trip next week from monday-wednesday and it would be awful to be away when the majority of the mail is probably going to come in!</p>
<p>Haha. I went away on Saturday and I called my mom three or four times to ask her if the mail had come and if I had gotten anything. Maybe you could do something like that? I actually asked my mom to only tell me if I got big envelopes and to leave the little ones a secret so that it wouldn't ruin my day.</p>
<p>Monday, nothing in IL.</p>
<p>I'm seriously staking out my mailbox. I got really excited when I saw what looked like a big envelope. Instead, it was just a newspaper. Oops.</p>
<p><em>bites nails</em></p>
<p>X_X</p>
<p>arghh....i m getting impatient now....totally nervous too...</p>
<p>so, it's april 1 for sure or not? Hope bryn mawr doesn't play april fool with it's applicants...</p>
<p>I'm a little nervous. My friends are trying to reassure me, but are also hesitant because they don't want to jinx it. :D</p>
<p>mandark8, decisions will most likely be released before April 1 (which is a Sunday).</p>
<p>but that's so vague!</p>
<p>They were sent early last year so I've been going off of that. Arg.</p>
<p>All this anticipation is KILLING me. I'm waiting for this guy I really like and have all year lol to ask me to prom (I'm going to throttle him. He told my friend that he wanted to think of a way to ask me and that's sweet and nice and everything but OMG. You HAVE me, you dorkus! You needn't woo me with pretty words or sweet smelling flowers! I mean, it's NICE but I'm going to say yes no matter how you ask so <em>pouts</em> It's really wonderful of him but I'm impatient XD) and on Bryn Mawr and a couple other schools. It's really maddening. Ahhhh!</p>
<p>I'm in the opposite situation -- this is the only thing I have to be excited (or nervous) about right now. I'm bored to tears and trying to pass the time until I'm out of here, and getting into college is the one last thing I need before I can put high school behind me. (Well, that and IB exams, but those aren't nearly as interesting. :p)</p>
<p>@b@r!um - thanks ...it's like the decisions may come at any moment...arghh...</p>
