Did you guys get an email first, or just checked the portal.
I got put on the waitlist as well! So anxious!
accepted! i’m honestly shocked but also super excited! i’m still waiting for a decision from nyu (the only other college i applied to), but i’m not sure if i should wait or just accept barnard’s offer.
@wtlistnightmare i received an email first
Accepted!!Barnard is definitely my first choice!So excited!
DD accepted!!!
I got denied, but I’m hoping it was because Barnard is not need blind and I was requesting a lot of financial aid and not because of my gpa (hs: 4.2, college: 3.9) or test scores (act: 30, sat: 1400, passed 7 AP tests) or my essay (used similar one for Columbia) so I’m hoping I can still get accepted to Columbia since they ARE need blind!! fingers crossed and congrats to everyone else!
Just got accepted! I am still waiting on another school, but im so happy and relieved!
waitlisted! Can anyone tell if there is a chance to get off the wl? Thank you!!!
