Does anyone else already have butterflies in their stomach? :-&
“I asked my friends if ‘women’s issues’ were a dominant topic of discussion of Barnard, and they said no…”
This type of argument is used to assail the importance of a woman asserting primacy, and defining for herself who she is, in an unflagging and unapologetic manner. It is an unavoidable assertion intended to sound accusatory and dismissive.
It is meant to derail a young woman.
And, for the record, everything at Barnard concerns women’s issues: such is the intent. No apologies.
@olivebar me2 good luck!
I’m so nervous. My spring break starts tomorrow, so I have all day to worry :-S
@PartOfYourWorld Oi same! But I purposely stuffed tomorrow, Friday and Saturday with things to do so I wouldn’t sit around sitting sorry for myself/being too happy and accidentally injuring myself.
Last time I got super happy, I dropped my cup of lemonade, slipped on it, slid into the refrigerator and hurt my toe so. xD
@VM0123 Not yet, but I will about 3 hours beforehand. It’s bouta go downnn.
@charmandquark I think the thing is is that now that I know exactly when it’s going to come out, I just want to know now! We’ve all been waiting since December so I know we’re all just ready know. It’s crazy that after waiting so long we should all know by this time tomorrow!
@missandei I guess binge watching is my guilty pleasure. It sucks to have a whole seasons worth of episodes gone in a couple of days tho!
If all fails tomorrow, I’m going to need some serious cheering up for my birthday on Friday
Hey guys, so I was rejected from Wellesley today, and wanted post what I posted there. Hopefully, it will help bring some perspective tomorrow to those (probably me) who do not receive the news that they wanted. I know that a Barnard rejection will hurt just as much - if not more - as the Wellesley one, as - in my case - Barnard was essentially tied with Wellesley.
"Hey guys, it’s me again. If you were rejected today, I just want you to know that - as hard as it is to accept - your admissions decision is not a reflection of you. My rejection ripped me apart. I really put a piece of myself into my essays, and this made my decision feel painfully personal. But, I need you to know that it is not your fault.
Many of you may think you were rejected because your grades were not good enough. Or because your test scores were not high enough. Or because you were not passionate enough. I want you all to know that you, you are enough.
My single sitting SAT is a 2210. My GPA is within range. This week, I received three national awards for my writing. I did all of this, despite having a learning disability, and not receiving any accommodations, both in school and on standardized exams. I worked so very, very hard, just like you all have.
I prayed until my head hurt. I prayed that it would be enough. I prayed that I would be enough - and when I was rejected, I took my decision as a confirmation of my shortcomings.
But here’s the thing, a school does not make you great. An acceptance is not validation. We may not be Wellesley students, but Wellesley student, and “greatness,” are not mutually exclusive. Life is too short to not chase your dreams, and too long for regret. Do not let this one setback hold you down - as cheesy as that might sound.
As of right now, I’ve come to terms with my rejection. I am eating an orange sherbert, while furiously typing an email to Cornell admissions, and in this moment, I feel like I will be “ok.” And you know what? All of you will be “ok” too.
Again, I am so, so sorry. My heart hurts for and with you all. Do not hesitate to message me!"
Of course, I hope all of us receive good news tomorrow! I wish you all the best!
