<p>I know I have excellent essays and great recs, but I’m scared about my gpa/class rank because I know they are on the low side. (although, my HS is very competitive, and not everyone with a 4.0+ is in the top 10%)</p>

<p>I’ve visited BMC and I’m going back for an interview next week. It is definitely my 1st choice school, and I hope that my enthusiasm will be evident to the interviewer.</p>

<p>Please help me figure out what my chances are!!</p>

<p>I'm applying ED to BMC also. Your gpa and SATs are a little bit better than mine though. I think you have a really good chance, your SATs are above Bryn Mawr's average. Good luck to you...I hope we both get in.</p>

<p>Thanks so much, good luck to you too! It would be awesome if we both went next year. :)</p>

<p>I heard that only about 145 girls apply ED, but do you know BMC's acceptance rate for ED?</p>

5

<p>I think I heard somewhere the ED acceptance rate is 53%. Is 143 for both ED1 and 2? Cause if it's for both we could cut that in half, which would make me a little less panicky.</p>

<p>Hm, I'm not sure. I'm going for an interview on Friday, I'll ask then.</p>

7

<p>This is/was "Babybutters"...someone picked that name as a joke for me and I had to change it. Good luck in your interview. I'm so nervous, I really love the school...I would be sooo happy if I got in.</p>

<p>I really hope you get in...if you don't, I have no chance either. So nervous!!! Good luck!</p>
