Barnard Early Decision for Fall 2022 Admission

how was the interview? what qs did they ask if you dont mind sharing

on their webiste it says nov 1st for ED deadline.

The interview was good, it is more so a conversation than an interview so I would prepare some of your own thoughts so you do not get caught off guard. Also- really listening and waiting a second to answer is a good tip. I tend to talk really fast and not fully listen when Iā€™m nervous so that was my problem.

I totally agree!! There was so much I was planning on doing and learning more about and experiencing, but the pandemic made it so difficult to be able to do anything, and even the things I could do I had no motivation for anymore as a result of pandemic depression. Itā€™s so scary to now actually be at the point where weā€™re applying to schoolsā€¦ I donā€™t feel like Iā€™m ready yet.

Hi! Early decision application is due in just over a week! Has anyone already submitted? Also curious what you guys are writing about for your supplements? Good luck to everyone!! xx

Applied two days ago! So nervous!! What abt you?? xx

Just applied and Iā€™m so nervous haha
There were sm rejections last year Iā€™m rly scared but ITā€™LL BE ALRIGHT

I just submitted last night! Iā€™m so relieved to be done and Iā€™m really hoping I get in, but Iā€™m also totally overthinking everything I wrote. I really liked the prompts, though, especially the ā€˜pick a woman to converse with for an hourā€™ one. I wrote about Helen of Troy and trying to humanize women that have been used solely as plot devices. What about everyone else?

Hi, all. Did those of you who applied ED to Barnard receive any kind of email about creating a portal login? I received a ā€œthank you for applyingā€ and confirmation about my financial aid status email but no general confirmation about my application or any information on how to create a login for a portalā€¦any insight is much appreciated!

I received the portal login/link in the thank you for applying email

Thank you for replyingā€¦the ā€œthank you for applyingā€ email I got just asked me to confirm that I was not applying for financial aidā€¦there was nothing about a portal in thatā€¦Iā€™m wondering if I need to do something else?

Check your spam folder. Sometimes portal information emails from schools end up there. My D received an email from Barnard College of Admission with the subject line Thank You for Applying to Barnard College: Her Name and the portal link and login information was included. If you donā€™t receive it within a few days of applying then you should contact the school soon. Youā€™ll need to be able to log in to your portal to check the status of materials and ultimately to check your admission status.

hmm, okay Iā€™m going back through my email and see that both the financial aid confirmation and portal login email began with ā€œthank your for applyingā€ and were sent at the same time on the same day. Maybe check through your junk mail and see if thereā€™s anything there? It should come from the Barnard College Office of Admissions and have a black Barnard banner when you open it.

Will do- thank you!

Thank you! Appreciate your help.

Found it! It was, in fact, in spam. So appreciate your help! Best of luck to youā€“I hope to get to meet you all in the fall xo
