<p>I wasn't able to find any information on the gpa/sats scores of students who were offered merit scholarships at Bryn Mawr. Does anyone have any idea? or are these quantifications not an accurate depiction of those receiving merit aid?</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but I don’t think BMC offers merit aid</p>
<p>Wait, scratch that. they do:
Bryn Mawr Merit Scholarship
Students admitted to Bryn Mawr College as first-year, first-time students are automatically considered for the Bryn Mawr Merit Scholarship; no additional application is required. Applicants are evaluated using Bryn Mawr’s holistic admission review process, which takes numerous factors into account including but not limited to academic coursework and performance, involvement in school and community, leadership qualities, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, quality and content of writing, and potential to contribute in meaningful ways to the Bryn Mawr community.</p>
<p>Students may receive a Bryn Mawr Merit Scholarship even with no demonstrated financial need. Merit scholarships may be awarded to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and international students. In past years, awards have ranged from $8,000-$20,000 per year. Scholarships are awarded at the time of admission, and are renewable each year for up to four years as long as the student remains in good academic standing with the College.</p>
<p>I think that you are compared with other applicants, so the test grades may differ depending on the average for your class. And it sounds to me like they don’t have a cut-off grade, as they consider many aspects, not just test scores.</p>
