<p>like i said..i'm surprised i got wait listed and i am not expecting to get in..</p>
<p>mustangsally09- O please, your scores look like GOD compared to mine (lol), my SAT was 1650, and my ACT which I didn't submit was 23, so as you can see. Scores don't matter! It's about the women behind the numbers! :)</p>
<p>superwoman-thanks! that makes me feel so much better!!
these freakin smarties with their ACT scores of 35's and such..pshh.
haha</p>
<p>hehe, yeaa, I feel the same way! But I think I'm going to BMC, I'm just waiting on my #1 to reply: Spelman College. :)</p>
<p>oh nice! Good luck! Bryn Mawr is my reach school. i got into Baylor and Southwestern University, and i'm waiting on my Tx. A&M. (i live in the great state of tejas lol) if i get into Bryn i'll prolls go there, just 'cause its so much better than all my others.</p>
<p>i know someone prob. already asked this..but how likely is it to actually get in if you're put on the waiting list?</p>
<p>I read on one of the posts that last year 5 got in from the waiting list, but one of them got in by writing a letter to the admissions office telling them how much they wanted to go :)</p>
<p>p.s. Are you a minority? b/c I think that helped me quite a bit during the app. process, although there were other factors considered of course!</p>
<p>HAHAHA. i'm screwed :) but i did read in the Barron's college book that in 07 or 08 out of 200 that were on the waitinglist 20 got in..hmm..</p>
<p>no unfortunately i'm very white. :( is it bad that i wish i was? lol</p>
<p>hmm...idk if i would be able to picture myself nething else lol, doesnt seem like I benefit from it but Bryn Mawr is pretty dedicated to diversity :)</p>
<p>Good luck! Just show them how much you love them! I applied on gut instinct, wrote my essay in the middle of my religion class the day before the deadline and sent in everything the day of the deadline soo, I think fate brought me to BMC, maybe thats where Im meant to be!</p>
<p>maybe there's no other hick texans there! that would help in the diversity department! lol</p>
<p>ya, i read on here that some of the waitlisted cats wrote letters to bryn. so i did too :)
it was basically a love letter..</p>
<p>oh and Congrats on getting accepted! i don't think i ever said that lol</p>
<p>Thanks! :) but I hope you get in!! (<em>fingers crossed</em>)</p>
<p>thanks! :D</p>
