Applying to Bryn Mawr Online is a thoughtful process designed to ensure a strong fit between each student and the Bryn Mawr academic community. Bryn Mawr Online reviews applications on a rolling basis; however, as a top-ranked online private school in the United States, families are strongly encouraged to apply early due to limited space in live, discussion-based classes.
The application process includes the following steps:
- Submit an Online Inquiry: This allows the admissions team to learn more about the student and share detailed information about Bryn Mawr Online’s academic program, schedule, and community.
- Complete the Application
Interested families then submit a full application along with the required application fee. A completed application typically includes a student questionnaire, school transcripts, teacher recommendations, and writing samples. - Virtual Interview
Applicants participate in a virtual conversation with a member of the admissions team. This is not a formal or high-pressure interview, but rather an opportunity for us to get to know the student as a learner and as a person. During the conversation, we talk with students about their academic interests and goals, and we encourage students to ask questions as well. This exchange helps students and families determine whether Bryn Mawr Online is the right fit, while allowing the admissions team to better understand how to support each student’s success. - Student Testing for Placement
Bryn Mawr Online requires standardized testing to support appropriate academic placement. Accepted assessments include the ISEE, SSAT, PSAT, SAT, PACT, or ACT. - Admissions Decision
Once all application materials are received and reviewed, families are notified of an admissions decision. Decisions are shared via email, and the admissions team remains available to guide families through next steps.
