omg, I looked at one of the other ED pages for one of my friends and the people are literally freaking each other out by saying that they won’t get in if they don’t have a certain score or GPA, it’s so competitive. i’m happy we are all just stressing and procrastinating together. :)))))

Honsetly that’s what I love about Barnard tho–it’s much more about who you are and one thing will never discount you

I’m glad I’m not alone on that one bc I’ve been overthinking EVERYTHING too!! I’ve just come to the conclusion that we should all do the following things to distress (girls we can do this):
- Watch as many Barnard videos and posts as u can. This might sound counterproductive (why would you feed yourself more info about what you want to “forget” about?). The answer is simple. This is an uncertain time in our lives and this may be our last time being “prospective” Barnard students. Based on the simple fact that we haven’t been rejected yet and we still have hope. That said, we should foster the joy that dreaming about Barnard has given us for the past months. Have hope! If ur rejected, it’s rly not worth it to be pessimistic just to make it feel less bad on the actual day.
- Pamper yourselves! Take a hot bath, allow yourself to be stressed and don’t try to exert more pressure on your mind (school already does that for us)
- Become aware of your situation and worth. After all, there’s a factor (well, in fact, many) in college admissions that turns each applicant into a number. We can all be fit into ethnicity, socioeconomic status and citizenship “boxes”. There are just too many things that are out of our control and as girls who like to do things the right way (we all know we can be control freaks sometimes) that just doesn’t stick with us. WE ARE WORTH IT. Just like my history teacher would say it, “Lo que será, será” (What will be, will be) - (I’m from Spain, lol), By that she means that sometimes there’s rly a place for us in the world, and if Barnard is not it, something better might be awaiting

this is somewhat off topic, but are you guys planning on filming your reactions? like when you open your decision letter? and also are you guys planning on opening it alone, with friends, or with family?

I’ve been trying to figure that out… I feel like whatever I say, I’ll wind up changing my mind at the last minute

if i get rejected im gonna trash my common app essay and im dreading that soooo much
I’ve actually been thinking about that a lot! I’m a little superstitious when it comes to filming myself so I don’t think so. About whether or not I’ll have someone with me, I’ll prob be opening up my decision at 1-2am (Spain time lol), so prob not. I also thought about having my best friend there but 1. I can’t wait until she gets to my house 2. I think I just want to “grieve” my application in peace and on my own LMAO
i feel like they are all so bland compared to the ones I submitted for Barnard
Me neither… And I really like my RD schools, I just feel like it would jinx Barnard, ya know?
I am not ususally supersticious at all but descisions really bring out the best in all of us
