Barnard College Class of 2016 ED Thread

<p>@mammamia44,
No offense to anyone but right now we are all so worried.
Lets stop posting and discussing our stats. We can’t even change them or feel better at this point. Lets just leave that and be positive about their decision. Its just going to make it worse if we keep thinking about the required GPA/SAT scores. Lets just be positive. I don’t know but 2 days before their decision, we can’t even change anything so lets not keep talking about it!</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>@newyorkmydreams: I’m from Southern California! :slight_smile: I’m hoping they sent out our decisions today so we get them the same time as the East Coasters…but I’m not sure. Fingers crossed for Thursday, though!! And I’m with you on the inability to study for finals. I’m so dead for my AP Spanish final - it’s tomorrow and I haven’t studied at all :/</p>

<p>Girls, you all need to take a step back and breathe. As horribly simple as it sounds, what will happen will happen. You are all brilliant, amazing young women. Whatever college you end up going to will be extremely fortunate to have each and everyone one of you. Right now, there is really no point in stressing out. So scoot away from the laptop screen, make yourself a cup of tea, and take a break from worrying.</p>

<p>Or go punch a wall. I hear that helps too.</p>

<p>In response, being on CC whether it makes you calmer or not, ED decisions have been made and we really can’t do anything now. BUT I think that people should do whatever makes them feel MORE sane (as I am sure that most of us are not at the moment! :wink: ). For me, it comforts me to see what everyone else is thinking. Again, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (crossed fingers) I hope those who really want Barnard get in.</p>

HAHHA
thanks, I’ll go make some tea.
This is such a bad addiction. 2 more days left till my life is determined.</p>

<p>@StillEnergy7:
Exactly my point. Whats the point of thinking of grades and sats now? Its too late.
Haha. BUt I’m still nervous and wish I could magically get an acceptance letter.</p>

<p>@newyorkmydream, Me too!! I know that at most, in 72 hours this will all be figured out. But I too wish I could just know! (and let it be good news!)</p>

<p>I just REALLY want the letters to come on Thursday. Friday is toooo far away.</p>

<p>this is how i feel right now:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSOIDFJASIUHGIUSHDIOFRSDAFJOSIDJFUIDFHGIUHDFGIASOJ!!</p>

<p>the end ;).</p>

<p>AGH OKAY I’m leaving I’m gonna go study AP bio now XD
I just want to wish everyone good luck :slight_smile:
If Barnard doesn’t work out, I hope you will still get accepted to another of your top choices.
I am sure each one of you deserves to go to Barnard and better schools.
It was awesome chatting with you. Hopefully we all get into Barnard and can hang out one day because I would really want to get to know you guys. You seem like intelligent, sophisticated young women :slight_smile: Have a great day!</p>

<p>OMG. My mom got the mail and there was a big packet for me. I almost got a heart attack when I realized it was a booklet from a random college. I still can’t calm down LOL. I can’t bring myself to focus and it helps me to talk to people in the same situation. I think i read the whole Barnard webpage maybe 100 times today. I hope we all get in.</p>

<p>Ok so I check the mail and see two packages for me. None from Barnard yet. I almost screamed of happiness and joy and I swear, if I get my acceptance I will cry and jump and scream and roll on the floor in happiness. I don’t know what else could be a better Christmas/life gift. I really want to go Barnard. Nowhere else, and I hope they accept me. I HOPE YOU ALL GET IN. YOU all deserve it. I can’t get off the computer. Just 2 days…oh my god mental breakdown!!!</p>

<p>same here. this week is soooo slow. I can’t wait anymore. ughh</p>

<p>Me too. Can we all just get in please!
Isnt the admission rate suppose to be higher for ED? Is there any hope?:/</p>

<p>apparently this year the ed rate is lower:( I’m dying here</p>

<p>Who here had an interview?</p>

<p>And if so, what kind? (senior on campus, aluma, phone)</p>

<p>What!!! Noooo. I will be so disappointed. Are you sure? I thought it was 47 percent.</p>

<p>@mammamia: Where did you hear that?</p>

<p>I think it is true that this year the acceptance rate is lower because there was an increase in the ED applicants and Barnard can’t accept a lot because they need room for the regular decision kids. Also there are a lot more people applying to Barnard overall so it is more difficult now.</p>

<p>@LadyStumble: WORD!!
We all need to take a chill pill. Breathe! Relax! Do some yoga.
I know it’s hard and the anticipation is a killer, but we’re all going through it and the best thing to do right now is try to be patient. I mean, if we’ve waited this long, we can wait another day or two, right? RIGHT. As I’ve said before, just occupy yourselves with things to keep you busy until then :)</p>
