Barnard Early Decision for Fall 2024 Admission

Are chances better when you ED vs apply through regular decision

Substantially so. While the overall acceptance rate was 8%, the much fewer ED’s make up the majority of the class, thus leaving the many more RDs with drastically lower odds.

Here some numbers I had posted last year.

@DigitalDad

Barnard College received 1,671 Early Decision applications , 11% more than the Class of 2026.

The ED class will make up about 60% of the incoming class of 2027 - based on last year’s class size that would be equivalent to an admit rate of 25% for ED - and 2.7% for RD if the total applications remain the same as last year.
