How to Apply
Your college search has led you here, to this very page—let's start your application.
Hello future Mawrter!
We accept the Common Application (which opens on August 1) and we don't have an application fee.
First, choose your decision plan
Application Deadline: November 15
Early Decision is a great option for students who are ready to make a personal and financial commitment to Bryn Mawr. These application plans are binding and students admitted under Early Decision are required to enroll at Bryn Mawr. While this is great for students who have a solid understanding of our community and their family’s financial aid eligibility, it is not the best option for everyone. If you are still unsure where you belong in the fall or if you want to compare multiple financial aid packages, you should consider applying Regular Decision.
Application Deadline: January 1
