<p>Hey prospective Barnard women(/parents/friends/etc.),</p>
<p>I am an incoming first year at Barnard, and I thought I’d open up a thread to answer your questions about applying to Barnard (e.g. interviewing, acceptance, etc.). </p>
<p>A little about my experience:
-Accepted ED
-Interviewed on campus
-Came from a large/competitive public high school</p>
<p>Ask away! Barnard alumnae/parents/current students PLEASE feel free to chime in.</p>
<p>Please note, this is NOT a chance thread. Ergo I will NOT assess your chances.</p>
<p>Yay! Thank you for doing this 
So this is kind of a mundane question but I couldn’t find it on the Barnard website- does the notification letter (for ED) come in the mail or do you get an email or both?</p>
<p>Hi Jaden. If you’re talking about the notification that Barnard has received your application, last year I received an email from the Common App confirming that I had submitted an application and, if I remember correctly, an email from Barnard shortly thereafter (i.e. a couple days maybe?). After about two weeks, they sent a code with which we could track our applications. I think they might have mailed it to me as well, but I ignored it because it had the same information as the email. I’m told they’ll notify you if they’re missing something from your file, but I’m not sure how because I did not face this problem.</p>
<p>If you’re talking about the acceptance decision, domestic students will receive that in the mail around December 15th, and international students will receive their decisions via email.</p>
<p>I received my ED acceptance letter on December 16, and I live in NJ (weird, I don’t know). Soo… don’t freak out if it doesn’t come on the 15th, because I was so nervous that day I practically crashed my car.</p>
<p>It’ll be in a big priority mail envelope and you’ll have a fun time prying it out of your mailbox.</p>
