Eep!

As I think I've mentioned before (a few times), I'm in the process of going back into full time education. To that end, I've been studying with the OU this year (and doing really rather well!) but I hadn't, so far, done much more than sign up for more information from a couple of unis/colleges that I think would suit me.

The first batch of info came today, from Bryn Mawr. I have to admit, the application form is enough to make me think again (I don't remember the UCAS form being that bad!), and terrifyingly, I could actually just about get my application in, get a decision and potentially start this fall!

Perhaps needless to state, that last isn't going to happen - for one thing, I think it disqualifies me from most of the financial aide (the deadline for which was Feb 15th) - but, provided I can find somewhere to take SATs, I can definitely see me applying come September.

You can search for test centers for the May and June test dates here:

They don't have a search for anything later, though.

Having gone through all that myself - *hugs* Yes, the application forms were really rather intimidating. I remember wondering if I wouldn't be happier just skipping college. And Bryn Mawr is a great school. What others are you applying to?

UWE, Bristol and Bath in all probability - the local unis here, all of which do decent history-type courses, which is almost certainly what I'd be majoring in. Pending financial stuff, I might apply to a couple of other colleges in the US too - but it all hinges on whether I can qualify for financial aid.
