Hi there! I haven’t seen a thread for transfers yet, and would really like to meet others who are in my situation. I’ve only seen chance requests from people applying as first years, but transfers have different rates of acceptances. I think transfer students need extra support and encouragement lol. Anyone out there looking to transfer to BMC for Fall 2016?
I am transferring to BMC also this fall!
Hi @Racyee! Noice applications are due on Tuesday. Are you excited??
Yes! a lot!! Though I wish the ddl could be later…
hey guys! so I’m finishing up my Bryn Mawr essay, and for the one where we are supposed to put an attachment, how long did you guys make it? Mine is about two paragraphs and I’m worried it’s too short :-/
Mine is two pages omg mine is probably too long. I’ve heard 650 words is the cutoff, but two paragraphs work if it covers everything you want to talk about.
okay thanks! Mine is about 300 words. ahh I’m so nervous !
Hey guys! I hope you’ve been well and getting through your finals if you still have them. Decisions are getting closer. Any idea when they’ll be released?
Hey, janetwn! I was lurking this thread and just when I thought it was dead, you replied! So I have no idea when they’ll be released. I’ve called and admissions said sometime before the end of May. However I’ve talked to a few students who transferred last year and they said they didn’t hear back until June…
Hi kafkamushi! Great to see another applicant. That’s so late TT TT from what I’ve seen, Bryn Mawr seems to be terrible with punctuality.
Yeah, it is extremely late. Even looking at old threads on this, people found out in late May. To be honest, this entire thing is frustrating. Admissions posted on Facebook that the reason transfers find out so late is because we apply late. Hundreds of colleges have the March 1 transfer deadline and yet they’re able to tell their applicants of a decision status before late May.
Columbia had the same deadline, and UPenn had an even later deadline of March 15th, and yet I’ve already gotten a decision (and they also had more applicants to sift through). I’ve heard so many horror stories about Bryn Mawr’s punctuality that it’s starting to concern me. Bryn Mawr is my top choice, but I have to let Columbia and Upenn know my intentions before June.
I didn’t mean to tun this into a rant! I’m just sort of in a pickle here.
Several of the colleges I applied to had deadlines at the end of March and mid-April and their decisions were released much earlier than Bryn Mawr’s as well. I have housing deposits that need to be paid by June 1st and AHHHHHH. I didn’t know some kids heard back in June. I’ve check past threads and May 26/27 were the common dates, but that’s still so late.
I hope we hear back soon. If things don’t work out, UPenn and Bryn Mawr has a consortium. You can enroll there and take classes at Bryn Mawr (I think. Correct me if I’m wrong)???
I hope so too! Where else did you apply? And yeah, if I go to UPenn I can take classes at Bryn Mawr but I’m leaning towards Columbia now 
Decisions are being released today 4pm EST!!! Good luck everyone.
waitlisted
rejected, but that’s okay. There’s always next semester to try again. @studyglot are you going to accept a spot on the waitlist?
Hey guys, got my decision yesterday- waitlisted as well! We’ll see how it goes… I don’t know how many people they really accept off of it…
@janetwn I think I’m going to accept the spot on the waitlist, but they said that if I do ever get off the waitlist it would probably be spring 2017 at the earliest :-/
