First, let me tell you how I picked the school. I applied to about 15 different schools: Colgate, Vanderbilt, etc, and applied to Bryn Mawr online. Nobody where I am from had ever heard of it, but it sounded like a cool name, and after all Katherine Hepburn had graduated from it! My GPA in high school was higher than a 4.0, I was in tons and tons of activities, but my ACT score wasn't high. However, I had my two favorite teachers (they taught classes that I was the top student, so I felt confident) write letters, and my essay was on my love of art history (a subject for which BMC is famous). My advice would be to take AP English and AP Econ, those classes epitomize the level that Bryn Mawr teaches. Classes are SO small, I thought that would be good- but I ended up so terrified in some classes due to the eight people around me! Small class size is great in classes you love, but awful in hate. Bryn Mawr's campus is gorgeous, Hogwart-esque. My friends who visited were absolutely astounded, it seriously looks like a castle. Not all is perfect. I found that about 1/3 of the girls are normal, 1/3 act normal but are very strange, and 1/3 are completely insane. everyone is a genius, all are A type personalities: very focused, driven, studious. scattered in this mix are girls that should have gone to Villanova (the total opposite of BMC) and stick out like a sore thumb. Note: if you are very social, obsessed with clothes, tanning, makeup, being around hot guys…YOU WILL WANT TO KILL YOURSELF! Although Haverford College is a five minute bus ride away, the school is worthless when it comes to friendly guys looking for more than a hook-up. The typical Haverboy (get used to putting "haver" before everything) is quiet, short, afraid of women, snotty, rich (but hides it), only wants to see his havergirls. Beware of the lacrosse team. Otherwise, Haverford is a GREAT school for classes, I took a class or two at HC each semester (it is required to preserve sanity) and I adored my teachers. They are actually better than the Bryn Mawr profs. As for Swarthmore College, I do not recommend taking a class there. Of my ten friends, ten HATED their class, and had awful grades that wrecked their GPAs. The boys are much nicer, more normal, better dressed, although there seems to be more snotty guys. I highly recommend going to Swarthmore parties on the weekend, it is a welcome break from Haverparties and Swatties love BMC girls. Although I really love BRyn Mawr, it is of upmost importance TO GET AWAY from the school…there are so many weird people (capes included) that one feels they live amongst freaks at times. Breaks from the campus make one realize how special and unique BMC girls are though…by working at campus during the week, and playing at either Penn, Swat, or Haverford you really develop this work/home attitude. It is so great to come back from a loud party at Swat and come back to a SILENT dorm sans smoke or music. Sometimes I really really really want to transfer to a regular school with activities (non-existant at BMC), boys, normal people without egos…but I come back from X-Mas break and I know that I just couldn't bear going anywhere else. |
