I know that the admission counselors at Bryn Mawr consider your application as a whole, but I would really like to know how much weight your test scores have during the admissions process? I'm debating retaking the ACT in decemeber (registering late), and not taking it. I guess my real question is: what is the lowest test score someone has scored, and gotten into Bryn Mawr with it?
