<p>Second choice = tie between upenn/georgetown/tufts
how about you guys?</p>
<p>GW, NYU, Emory.</p>
<p>@jaden
upenn is an ivy! how is that ur 2nd choice?</p>
<p>my second choices are GW, NYU, and BU</p>
<p>koukla… did you apply early decision? I’d rather go to Barnard than Columbia College or any other college/university regardless of “prestige”</p>
<p>agreed with Jaden. otherwise, why do ED?</p>
<p>yes i did apply ed bc that is my first choice.</p>
<p>@koukla yea i’m from China~</p>
<p>my second choice…hmm…between Tufts and Colgate… but anyway, Barnard is my favorite!! hope I can get in!!</p>
<p>(I’ve been lurking these but i was on the other ED thread)
Definitely NYU for me though</p>
<p>I have no second choice now= = All the other schools are same for me…No more passion TvT</p>
<p>I agree, I have no true second choice. If i had to say something today… my distant second/third choices are Bowdoin and Tufts. Wellesley is also in the mix. And, I would also say my Brandeis experience was great as well. I have to believe that we will all end up where we will thrive.</p>
<p>My list is so undefined. I have schools but honestly most of them are harder to get into than Barnard (even though I do want to go to Barnard more) so I’m going to feel pretty discouraged applying if I don’t get it (which honestly at this point I don’t think I will).</p>
<p>…also, struggling to find safeties. I always find warts with the ones I pick out.</p>
<p>I applied to UChicago early action since it’s my second favorite but realistically speaking, I don’t think I’ll get in, and even if I did the core still kind of scares me off (2 years of college level math and science might just kill me) even though I loved everything else about the school.</p>
<p>Still, all my hopes are on Barnard until we get our letters…</p>
<p>Right now I’m feeling pretty optimistic, but that’s subject to change within the hour.</p>
<p>raspberi- I had the same problem (still do). I started being able to pick backups when i stopped comparing them to Barnard. There’s no place like Barnard.</p>
<p>I feel the exact same way!! There are so many wonderful, unique schools out there, but there’s just something special once you step onto the Barnard campus. It’s hard to explain—but it’s clearly the reason all of us are hoping and praying for good news!</p>
<p>my friend who applied columbia got her result today!!! i cannot wait to see my result!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!</p>
<p>I just want it to be wednesday! adlksjdlksj</p>
<p>We’re SO close.</p>
<p><em>bangs head on keyboard</em> It’s a good thing it’s the holiday season. I’m, like, IMMERSING myself in the whole culture of Christmas to be thankful for what I have (as opposed to what I want: ACCEPTANCE TO BARNARD!). I’m in this weird, Ophelia-like state of being angry and being crazy (it’s not severe and I’m far from drowning myself!, but my parents have noticed a difference in my general wackiness… it’s off the charts! I’m warbling around the house like a mad woman!!). Hamlet is not a good thing to be reading at this current moment of my life.</p>
<p>smartundecided- haha, i swear school saves Hamlet until senior year just to mess with us.
I literally just finished writing an in-class essay on Hamlet 20 minutes ago. :)</p>
