Bryn Mawr is my daughter's #1 by a lot, and after a rocky weekend (accepted to Colgate -her #3, waitlisted to Smith - her #2, and Wellesley, rejected by Swarthmore and Wesleyan), she pretty much broke into tears when she got waitlisted here. We're working on her LOCI now (while battling other scholarship deadlines), but then it's a waiting game. She has one left (Dartmouth tomorrow), but as of right now we have until May 1 to accept/give a deposit to Colgate, and while I've never had to deal with a waitlist personally, at least with Smith they say it could be June before they let you know. I think I'm as anxious as she is, if not more, at this point.

i got in!!! but the need based aid makes its literally impossible for me to go, i can’t even imagine paying that much. i want to appeal my offer, does anyone have any tips or experiences with this?
2
u/delicateeeeeee 13d ago

u/_waterbeads 13d ago
aw thank you :') i'm trying not to let college admissions get to me but it's really hard. i'm going to turn off my phone and do some homework until decisions are out, so that i don't drive myself more insane than i already am.

u/_waterbeads 13d ago
hey if it's any consolation, my understanding is that SLACs like these, esp. women's colleges, are super fit-focused, and what kind of "fit" they're looking for really changes from school to school. waitlists from wellesley and smith are likely no indication of your other results <3

Sorry you didn’t get in. My daughter didn’t either. Her MoHo package arrived today though and we’re scheduled to visit soon!
1
u/_waterbeads 13d ago
Ooh, do you mind if I ask what's in the package? I'm in the Bay Area so mail from the east coast takes a hot minute to get here.
I'm sorry about her rejection :( it sucks. Maybe we'll both be Griffins in the fall though!!

I'm so nervous for decisions T^T I wrote my essay on modern feminism after listening to an interview w/ bryn mawr's dean of admissions where she said that they like getting essays that are geared towards the women's college aspect of the school, so i'm crossing my fingers HARD that it pays off 🤞 i got into moho with a scholarship so maybe it will?? i just want to be a mawrter...pls...

If you've finished the application process and have 15 minutes, take the 2025 A2C Census!
