Hey!
I decided to make a thread because I haven’t seen one for this year’s group…
Hi! I’m applying RD 2023 too!
hi! has anyone gotten an email regarding interviews? i sent in a request a while back and haven’t received anything
Yes, I requested one in October and received an email back in early November.
I interviewed a few weeks ago just by signing up on their website!
I was going to apply ED, but wasn’t able to complete the financial aid information in time due to location issues with my parents (they left midway through October and I hadn’t completed the CSS profile yet), so I’m applying RD!! Very nervous!!! My one of my recommendations is from 10th grade and I’m worried that could disqualify me, but we’ll see… Interviews for my area filled up very fast a few months ago.
is barnard considered an ivy?
@yllatagu Not really, no. It’s part of Columbia but it’s separate at the same time, if that makes sense.
I’m curious about who everyone is doing for the woman of choice for the conversation question…
Did you pick fictional or historical?
@musemuse I chose Lillian Disney. Who’d you select ? Also has anyone been calling the ED thread(s)? I’ve only heard one acceptance so far on here and rest were rejections and two deferrals.
@ayeitztasha people are talking about decisions in the regular ed discussion thread
I have two written for two different people, one is Lady Murasaki, the other is a cartoon character, and I’m a little conflicted
They say they’re alright with fictional, but I’m still debating
I applied ED but I was deferred so it looks like I’m in the same boat as all yall!
Super bummed I wasn’t accepted, but at least I have a second shot to get things right.
Anyone else feel a little discouraged by the rejected stats for ED? My act is only 30… I thought about retaking it, but never did. Now I kind of regret it. I don’t know how I would feel if I got in, because if I don’t then I won’t be paying 25k per year for college (my estimate after work-study), but that also means… no barnard… How do you put a price on wanting to go somewhere?
@musemuse I had that same issue! Who do you connect more with ? Like which do you wish could actually happen in real life? That’s how I came down to selecting Lillian Disney.
I also wrote the SAT this month and I’m freaking out cause I can’t write it again and I just really want a good result for Barnard
Deferred as well so I’m joining this group now!
I wouldn’t worry about the SAT for Barnard. They focus on essays and GPA and maybe even ECs more.
@electrichapel9 oh thank god.
@ayeitztasha haha I landed on mulan
I feel like the essay was pretty stellar, so here’s to hoping it was original too ?
@ayeitztasha @electrichapel9
I heard the essays were the primary focus too
I have an F from my first semester of junior year, but I wrote my main essay on it for all of my colleges and I feel like it’s pretty well explained. My unweighted is 3.756 so it’s a pretty big outlier… That’s my main concern right now.
Sorry for semi-monopolizing this thread, whoops, I’m just a little stressed and probably will be until late March!!
I’ve been looking through the ED results thread and boyyy is it disheartening. I’m so proud of everyone who got it, and I really don’t want to take away from that amazing achievement, I’m just… really scared… and terrified…
Like. Almost scared enough to post a chance me thread.
Got my SAT score back… a 1200. Ugh
