<p>Barnard is my top choice. I went for an interview and the rep still encouraged me to apply even after hearing about my severely unsuccessful HS life. But after reviewing this board …(realising how competitive it is)omg i am more inclined to dismiss it and am having second thoughts about applying. help :(</p>
<p>What in the world would you have to lose by applying? If Barnard truly is your top choice, give it your best shot and see what happens. You will regret it if you do not....</p>
<p>$55 app fee? just kidding. you're right. i should stop being so wimpy. thanks :)</p>
<p>yah def apply! Barnard is also my top choice and my college councelor thought i was insane! she kept giving me weird looks and looking at my sucky ACT scores. But I applied early anyway cause i know i would be really happy there. Also a good idea would be to email or try to meet some of the teachers, especially iof u have a special interest.</p>
<p>NOO, DEFINITELY APPLY!
You have a 100% chance of not getting in if you don't apply!
Barnard is really great at looking beyond numbers and statistics, let your personality shine through your app (as cheesy as this sounds...haha).</p>
