Are likely emails for particularly qualified applicants, or only for sports applicants at Bryn Mawr?

I want to go home!! I'm in Aruba, and should be having a blast but now all I want to do is go home and get my mail!

Halima, I actually think the "likely emails" were dependent on which admission officer was handling the application. I am neither super qualified (seriously...), nor a sports applicant. I think they were just random, but for those who they knew were accepted. Don't even worry about it now; we're in and that's all that matters

I'm not super-qualified, but maybe a little more than their averages. Not super great though. DEFINITELY not a sports player, haha. Yeah, I think it depended on the admissions officer... maybe I got one because my admissions rep was a teacher and I wrote my essay about how much I heart teaching?

Well, I'm crossing my fingers that my parents will let me go to BMC so I'll introduce myself seeing as the class size is so small for BMC we might even be room mates for all that we know! I'll start a little template like this:

Name: Emma (obviously)
location: D.C. suburbs.
Fave thing about BMC: The location- Philadelphia and the amazing consortium
Basic hobbies: Flute/ Piccolo, obsessed with Buffy, International music

Name: Jessie
Location: Central PA (hurrah PA, home to the amazing BMC!)
Favorite Things: Honor code, all the qualities of a liberal arts education (discussion, small classes), the people (I've talked to a lot of specs lately), the consortium
Hobbies: Reading, wasting time on the computer, talking, developing pictures (less now that I don't have a photography class), graphic design

And, OUCH, I don't like TV! I like movies better. Usually I only watch Scrubs or something late at night when I'm trying to sleep. Streaming movies online is the thing to do, haha!

Attending: The only school that could possibly trump BMC is Vassar, and that's not a given. I have to do the whole visiting thing... If I'm rejected from Vassar I'll go to BMC probably no matter what (the decisions from Colgate and Grinnell won't matter any more, most likely).

Chudiane- Colgate is supposed to have pretty good financial aid- low percent of loans. Too bad they're not need-blind.

I wish I could have applied to CA schools... It would be nice to go somewhere new, but I didn't think I could afford it.

NeuroticSenior/Nat- I also love Jenny's blue pen! It's great. Loved the acceptance movie.

Are you guys going to do the chat on April 3rd?
