<p>I think people from my school got it on the 12th and I’m in Brooklyn NY. But we’ll see. I can’t believe how soon it’s coming.</p>
<p>OMG! @sujulove and @figureskater: YES! I looked up every single video a WHILE ago and showed my mom and just decided, “Yup, this is where I’m going!”</p>
<p>The senior class at my school is such a mess this week. So many teachers are giving a nod to EDers and (depending on the teacher) giving us less to do.</p>
<p>You know what this reminds me of? It’s like when your downloading something and it’s going really slowly but then it goes from 15% to 18% and you’re like YES! But then all of a sudden its back to 13%.
Also for the meryl streep vid, I love how there’s so much hating on barnard from columbians but when barnard has something amazing a la zora neale hurston or meryl streep speaking, columbians are more than happy to claim it for themselves.</p>
<p>is there tension between barnard and columbia? really?</p>
<p>Jaden- That’s so true. The video description even says Barnard College, Columbia University and nobody has any objections about that.</p>
<p>figureskater- if you read past threads on this forum, a lot of people wonder about Columbia and Barnard’s relationship. It’s be rehashed many times; you can search it up yourself. To me it seems like College Confidential is the only place where there’s obvious tension… and maybe between first year Columbia/Barnard students for the first two months, but it’s really not as bad as it sounds on CC.</p>
<p>Yeah on campus you can’t even tell which girls are from where (CC, Barnard, SEAS, GS etc) so I don’t think it’s a big deal in real life but with anonymity here people really get into it. Especially Columbia2002, but I think the real question is what kind of person spends 5 years bashing Barnard on an anonymous website…</p>

Lots of hate going on in that thread^</p>
<p>that is super lame.</p>
<p>Jaden- Oh great, 48 pages for me to procrastinate on my homework on. </p>
<p>I don’t even care anymore, the arguments are getting so old-- if I get in, (Please please please please accept me admission goddesses ;] ) I’ll be proud to be a strong, beautiful, Barnard woman. They share classes and facilities but still have different mentalities to education. Maybe Columbia is the more prestigious, but you’ll find inspirational, intelligent, powerful, strong students at both schools. Why get caught up in the nit-picky details?</p>
<p>Well said shay! Besides, we’re above those petty arguments and don’t need to sink to that level of bickering.</p>
<p>And yes I would be so excited to get a Barnard bumper sticker, and shirt, and sweat shirt, and poster and oh my God, I’m obsessed. haha</p>
<p>I heard that someone called Barnard. Apparently they sent it tonight and it’s coming sometime this week. Aaahh.</p>
<p>I feel like it would come Wednesday if they sent it tonight.</p>
<p>Yeah it should come around Wednesday then. This is so crazy guys I can’t believe how close we are. </p>
<p>What’s even scarier is that this time next week we will all know and (hopefully) have gotten over it. Getting in would be the best Christmas/Hannuka/Kwanza/Solstice present ever. Ever. Including that doll house I got when I was 6, and that was a big deal.</p>
<p>When I visited both CU and Barnard I made it very clear to my mother we were only getting the Barnard merchandise. I am proud to wear my Barnard shirt.</p>
<p>I’m actually slowly losing hope because my GPA’s just not up there like a lot of you.
Sorry for being all depressing here! But anyway, despite that, I really enjoy the conversations with all of you here. :)</p>
<p>abercrombieindy- i was actually at the online store yesterday. I really want some of the shirts/sweatshirts, they look awesome. So you already bought one?</p>
<p>I went to both Barnard and Columbia’s school store during Barnard’s open house and got a shirt from there. Barnard was running a special for 20% off any item in the store, so I got a shirt that reminds me of the Victoria Secret Pink logo. They have a lot of cute stuff. If I get in I will definitely be coming back to buy more stuff.</p>
<p>They do have a lot of cute stuff! I like the sweatshirt with the insignia on it. But I kind of wish there was one in like that typical varsity font that just said “Barnard College” across the front. Of course this is all conditional on whether or not I get in…</p>
<p>@Jaden239 I was looking for a basic sweatshirt just like that but I didn’t see any at the store. Most of them had Barnard written very inconspicuously it was kinda weird.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s inconspicuous? They just use a font that’s different from all the varsity-like college fonts most colleges use.
I like the insignia one too-- that one is a little inconspicuous, I agree.</p>
<p>Oh my goodness, they mailed them tonight!?! ahhh!!! Now I’m REALLYY anxious. Thank goodness I’m exempt from a few finals so I don’t have to think about school&ED all at once. Best of luck to those that do have finals! Fingers tightly crossed everyone:)))</p>
<p>Yeah studying for finals right now is awful. alkjdalkjsd. This sucks.</p>
