It’s really impossible to say. Your record looks nice and you’ve done so much. My only concern is that your SAT scores are a little low. But it is a holistic school and you never know whether someone will be accepted or not

3

I believe BMC has been test optional for the last couple years now. So you can totally omit your SAT score for your application.

Good luck!

4

Yeah. Also BMC is holistic and they really really want to see in your essay why you fit into BMC and how you love their community.

5

Yeah i had a feeling SAT was quite low… But again. SAT is just not my thing :confused:

6

I’m from Pakistan too, I had a friend admitted to Bryn Mawr this year. Chill

7

Oh that’s so nice! :smiley:
What were her stats?

8

Based on your ECs, you look like the kind of student BMC likes, and your IB scores are good, so that could offset the SAT. I think you have a reasonable shot.

I got an email from the dean of admissions. It read that we are in the process of reviewing your application, and we’ve received your transcripts of IB and O-Levels. We want grade 9 and 10 internal transcripts, so please send them in as soon as possible.
The subject of the email read: Urgent, transcript needed…
What is this supposed to mean? I mean like im so confused… lol

^^^Call the admissions office if you aren’t clear about what you need to do next. Do it ASAP.
