Ok @ibsadgurl you legit posted your “chance me” like five times. We get that you excited but please stop spamming. You know that no one can really chance you as admissions officers are the ones deciding. You have TWO WEEKS left. You’ve made it this far. I’m sure that you’ll pull though. Trust me :slight_smile: As for all you other anxious gals out there… good luck! Spend your time doing other things rather than college confidential. Whatever happens… we will all be just fine. Just chill.

@IWantNYC uhhh omg we pretty much have the same common app essay and supplements, haha. I hope Barnard accepts us both!

@yuelotus REALLY?THAT’S CRAZY! Wow we should compare our essays lmao.

Did anyone else apply to the JTS/Barnard program?

Hello! I’m from the class of 2022.

Congrats on those who have applied ED :slight_smile: Now you all can chill out until mid December!! Please do not stress too much about it - it will come before you know it. Let me know if you have any questions :slight_smile:

Hey guys! I’m Leila and I applied ED! Do we know the exact day the decisions come out?

@lhata1 we don’t know but we’re expecting around Dec.11th maybe

In about a week JIENSGFDVJFPIODVJIOOVKSDSVBOIFEVOIFSHVOISDJVFJEOISJOPDKPOSDIOSVFVSOKDNDN

Even though I’m not confident about getting in, I can’t picture myself anywhere else which makes me nervous…

AHHH OK! Thank u! Good luck everyone!

Yea same here! Barnard checks all the boxes for me. There’s really no other place like it.

Do you guys know if we’re going to get an email confirming the date and time that decisions come out? UPenn sent an email out today.

Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up cuz I know I wont get in lmaoooo

how do you know decisions are being released on the 11th?

@bagel1234 @blackcats2023 past years decisions have come out the second Tuesday in December at 6pm Eastern Time. We should expect an email confirming the notification date and time by Sunday.

@lhata1 My name’s Leila too lol

Isn’t it crazy how it’ll all be over in eight days?? Time is moving so slow…

has anyone worked on RD apps at all?? i’ve been totally neglecting them and the other interviews/supplements until after decisions but i absolutely know i won’t get in so am i screwed lol figured i’d see if anyone else was in a similar situation

I have applied to Vanderbilt RD already (Due to scholarship applicants must be submitting by Dec. 1) as well as Rollins College my safe school. I know that once I receive my decision and IF it is denied then I will be working on the rest.
