<p>I'm not sure who's going to be interviewing me, I just called the admissions office and set it up, and they didn't tell me.</p>
<p>"I'm going to try to be confident and when they ask me why I want to go to Barnard, I will be ready" </p>
<p>That's the spirit!</p>
<p>As more and more days/months passes, I'm going to be feeling even more and more nervous, fainthearted, and yet still gushing over an elusive Barnard, and hope that I'll either survive a rejection in April, or survive a heart attack out of sheer joy.</p>
<p>Almathea,
What are the days counted down to it? ;) j/k</p>
<p>Saysua, have you sent in your application yet? I'm done with the short answers and everything, I'm just so scared to send it...you know?</p>
<p>Saysua -
Well, the fifteenth is about four days away. ;) If the envelope is an acceptance, I hereby proclaim that I will never be so thrilled at receiving a bunch of paperwork in my life; and if it's a rejection/deferral, I'm pretty sure I will survive. (Of course, there's a slight possibility that I might be depressed for the next week, but at least I will still have my options open for other schools.)</p>

"Saysua, have you sent in your application yet? I'm done with the short answers and everything, I'm just so scared to send it...you know?"</p>
<p>I've sent in all my applications except for NYU and UofR. On an afterthought, I should have invested more time into them, esp Barnard. The short answers came relatively easy to me, but I don't know whtether they were actually quality. Egh. But, I'm sure your short answers are original and riveting.</p>
<p>Amalthea,
In all seriousness, I'm crossing my fingers for you. So that would be one in and 2 more to go. But at least you'll kno and breathe easier comew hat may, while we both are locked in suspense. What other schools ar eyou applyuing to?</p>
<p>Thank you~ Even if I'm not admitted, I'll still be hoping for the two of you to get in! Don't worry about being locked in suspense - back in July, I thought December 15th was years away, and now it's only a matter of time before that date becomes nothing more than a memory.</p>
<p>Right now, I'm repeating the mantra "que sera sera" to calm myself down so I can work on other things. (Eek, forgot how to create accent marks on my computer.)</p>
<p>I am also applying to: Vassar, Cornell, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, Smith, University of Rochester, Boston College, and SUNY Binghamton (backup).</p>
<p>Hey guys! I just got back from having my interview in New York. Overall it was pretty short, about 40 minutes, but the alumna was very friendly and I think I had a good connection with her. She didn't ask many questions about academics or extracurriculars, it was more of just chatting about what I like to do outside of school, hobbies, etc. Overall I think it went well :)</p>
<p>Good luck, Kiki. Your experience seems to typical and the way that colleges want it...an informal chat that makes you comfortable, not an inquisition.</p>
<p>Kiki,
40m?! Unless you had an enjoyable discussion where time flies by, I don't think that's short at all! I hope everything went well for you, and best wishes!</p>
<p>That's good to hear, Kiki. Best wishes!</p>
<p>Thanks you guys :) It just seemed short to me because my Georgetown interview was over an hour, but I'm glad to hear that that's about normal length. I really think we had a good discussion and I'm happy about how it went.</p>
<p>I wish I had more good news....I got deferred from Georgetown today and am kind of ticked off.</p>
<p>"I got deferred from Georgetown today and am kind of ticked off."</p>
<p>I'm rather shocked by the news. And I didn't realize how EA porcess everything so quickly. I'm sure you'll have better luck with the other schools. Keep the faith up!</p>
<p>Kiki -
Ah, I'm sorry about the deferment. The whole rejection/deferral rate I've been seeing (both at my school and elsewhere) has been starting to worry and bother me, especially since so many people who deserve to get into their first choice college...aren't. I'm sure everything will work out fine for everyone, though -- you included. Like a friend of mine said the other day, "we will all go where we have to go." And we're all going to go somewhere. : )</p>
<p>Yes, i just wanted to add another bit, something I've finally come to realize during my time on this forum.
Even if my top choice college (barnard) does not accept me, my future plans and hopes will neither be restricted nor diminished by it.
So, as Amalthea says, "we're all going to go somewhere," the choices are still up to you and what you make of it, and no college rejections are going to null that. Altho, good news would have been heartlifting.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind thoughts you guys, it certainly helps. Amalthea, have you heard yet?</p>
<p>Yes, actually - my letter arrived today.</p>
<p>I was accepted. ^^; Nearly dropped the entire envelope when I realized it.</p>
<p><em>smiles</em> Congrats! I'm happy that your suspense is over, and with good news too. Hope to see you next year, if not, then ah well.</p>
<p>Congrats, Amalthea!!</p>
<p>Congratulatons, Almathea. And good luck to those who are still waiting...may this board be like the Swarthmore board and not the Columbia or Princeton board.</p>
<p>Congrats Amalthea! I hope to see you at Barnard very soon!</p>
