<p>Hi bmcdream, I am an admitted international student this year. I submitted my SATI&II scores so my advice may be not that helpful, but I do have some advice for you…</p>
<p>BMC admits student based on a flexible policy([Standardized</a> Testing Requirements | Admissions | Bryn Mawr College](<a href=“http://www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/apply/tests.html]Standardized”>http://www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/apply/tests.html))
it says:“The subject/AP tests are highly recommended but not required for students living abroad”, so you can certainly apply without SAT2s and it won’t hurt much–When BMC (or other LACs) say that sth. does not have to be done, she really means it! And I was admitted to another LAC without SATs because I forget to submit them(my bad…) but it still admitted me because it does not require SAT if you are an international applicant.</p>
<p>However, I think you should try your best to do it…I mean, its april now and you have opportunity to take it in May, June or October, so could you squeeze out some time and try once? I didn’t mean to push you or something, but Bryn Mawr(or practically any other great school) would love to see you challenge yourself!</p>
<p>And, if you really don’t have time to do the test, try to make your essays perfect and get an interview! When I finished writing my why BMC essay I felt I loved this school even more and was sure that this was the place where I truely belong. About the interview, I did not know much about the app process from the beginning and I DIYed so I missed it, but I think its a great opportunity for you to know more about the school and let the school know more about you. A great interview performance can also make up a little bit for the SAT2, I think, but not much because more and more international students are competing for top LACs like Bryn Mawr College and many of them will submit SATI, 2 and even APs.</p>
<p>Good luck to your SATIIs if you are going to take them and the rest of your app process!</p>
