<p>Hello! </p>
<p>I was waitlisted from Bryn Mawr for Fall 2007. I am DETERMINED TO GET IN. I love this school and I realllllllllllllllllllly want to go here. I have sent the admissions office a heartfealt yet convincing letter about why I want to go to Bryn Mawr. I have also called the office once (just to make some sort of direct contact) and emailed the admission conselor for my region (Texas). </p>
<p>Any ideas on what I could do? Or what the chances are of me getting in?</p>
<p>i dont mean to be a bother but any advice or experience with the waitlist at bryn mawr would be really helpful!</p>
<p>has anyone gotten accepted from the waitlist so far this year?</p>
<p>i was accepted but didnt take my spot, so that's one spot open! :)</p>
<p>I got accepted from the waitlist as well but don't plan on accepting it... I too sent a heartfelt letter about why I really am keen to attend and how I'll be a great fit for the college... Don't worry... I'm sure there must be other people like me on the waitlist who don't intend on attending it anymore... good luck!</p>
<p>thanks! congrats on getting in. </p>
<p>how did they contact you? telephone, e-mail?</p>
<p>anyone else gotten off the waitlist?</p>
<p>i got it on e-mail</p>
<p>anyone else heard? i read on CC that most colleges send out notifications on the 15th. that is tomorrow, eek!!!</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr actually accepts a lot of students off the wait list: last year, 158 out of 288 students were accepted off the wait list. Out of those, 13 enrolled! I dunno how their wait list system works, but it's possible you could still get in even if you're not accepted on the initial wait list batch.</p>
<p>newchick, i love u for sharing that information. thanks so much. :-) i hope they admit that many this year!</p>
<p>Newchick, I'm wondering about those numbers. I assume they're the Common Data set numbers for 06-07, but I think they mean 288 were offered a place on the waitlist, of which 158 returned the postcard saying they wanted to stay on the list, and 13 were ultimately enrolled. Who knows how many waitlistees they had to ask in order to get 13 enrollees ...?</p>
<p>The numbers for fall 2005 admission according to collegedata.com:
Students Offered Wait List 385
Students Accepting Wait List Position 209
Students Admitted from Wait List 16</p>
<p>However, the number of students admitted from the wait list can change dramatically from one year to the next. I could not access BMC's common data sets from previous years, but as an example of how the numbers fluctuate from year to year, here are the wait list numbers from Smith College (students accepted from the wait list/students who accepted a place on the wait list):</p>
<p>2003: 42/133
2004: 0/129
2005: 120/196
2006: 18/226</p>
<p>does anyone know anyone who has gotten off the waitlisted at Bryn Mawr yet?</p>
<p>Mandela512,
Why don't you call the admissions office and ask them about the waitlist.
My D has found them to be very nice and helpful and I'm sure they's be happy to tell you.</p>
<p>I have called the admissions office and asked them about the waitlist. I called to double check that my card made it there and that they know I enthusiastically accepted a spot on the list. I have thought about calling again, but I am not sure what I would say. </p>
<p>I have been emailing with my regional admissions officer and she has repsonded to every one of my questions. Wouldn't they think I was being annoying if I email and call to ask the same questions? And what would I ask them if I call? My regional officer says that she does not know how many people are on the waitlist right now.</p>

<p>thanks, HC Alum. That article was helpful. I am really not expecting to get off the waitlist anymore. Do you think that the accepted waitlist number was just a projected number? Or might that many people have already been accepted. I do not think the waitlist is closed yet because I have not recieved an email saying so. My AdCom told me they send out an email when it is closed.</p>
<p>I believe the squiggly line before "10-15" means that this is an estimate of the # of incoming students who will be from the waitlist. It depends on BMC's admissions office and if they pre-select applicants to unwaitlist... by calling them to see if they would accept a spot if selected. So, the number of people removed from the waitlist can be 10-15 if BMc does prescreening... or 30-40+ if they don't. good luck.</p>
<p>im thinking that they do not do prescreening because a couple people have told me that they were accepted from the waitlist but declined the offer. also, according to my adcom they do not number the people on the waitlist, but instead review all the applications on the waitlist again. </p>
<p>also, i was hoping to get some about advice whether or not I should complete my Associates Degree. I go to a HS on a community college campus and we take free, dual-credit classes at the college. I have almost all my credits, somewhere around 50-something, but I need to do summer school to complete the degree. As of now, I am enrolled in the 4 classes (two in june from 8-12, M-F and two in july, same schedule) but I am thinking I might not do it. I told Bryn Mawr that I was going to complete my Associates however so would it be really bad to not complete it? My chances of getting off the waitlist are slim to none, so I do not know if I want to burn myself out all summer if I don't end up getting in. My classes wouldn't end until the week before I leave for the school I have sent my deposit to so it would be straight school until for the next year. Any words of wisdom? Is that idea to not take the classes (Psych, Nutrition, Calculus, and sophmore Government) bad? Am I just being lazy?</p>
