Rejected. No real portal astrology, except CSS date changed to 2/22, clearly not an indicator of anything.

Waitlisted! Is the waitlist still need-aware, or has that changed?
Rejected and absolutely devastated. I am planning to apply as a transfer student in the future though:,) congrats to those that made it in.

Does anyone know how likely getting off the Barnard waitlist is?
Waitlisted. 1470 SAT/97 GPA. Lots of APs and EC leadership positions. Frankly this is a win, I thought for sure sheâd get rejected.

Rejected. 1500 SAT, 4.0 unweighted, 4.5 weighted, lots of EC, including president of 3 clubs (2 are community service focused, created one of them), varsity sports, dance, acting (both in school and professionally), NHS, strong essays. Really not understanding what is going on and hard to watch her receive so many rejections. Thankfully she got into one of her top choices with a nice merit award.

One of my freshmanâs roommates was admitted off the wait list, so it does happen some years. Good luck!

Only need blind for domestic first-year direct admits:
âBarnard has limited funding for International first-year applicants and Fall transfer applicants and students admitted off of the waiting list. Therefore, Barnard is need-aware and does consider financial need as a factor when reviewing these applications.â

Based on most recent data: 4%, except now itâs need aware, and itâs from an already prequalified pool.

Phew - at least THAT.
But yes, itâs hard to watch - this is increasingly becoming a roll of dice, no matter how perfectly the applicants had delivered.
Even my daughter looks at the current numbers and is convinced sheâd never been accepted in current years - even though she absolutely excelled while there.
