<p>Who’s applying to Barnard this year?</p>
<p>ED for me. ^^</p>
<p>I'm ED too. Good luck, i hope you get in.</p>
<p>ED as well. =)</p>
<p>One month from today until decision time.. yipes!</p>
<p>And good luck to everyone. n_n</p>
<p>I'm ED too, just sent my app.
Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I'm so nervous. I thought that once I sent out my application I would feel fine, but I don't. Good News: just one more month!</p>
<p>I know what you mean! Everyone kept telling me that I'd feel so relieved and unstressed once I mailed it, but now I'm more nervous than ever. The helpless waiting is definitely the hardest part.</p>
<p>I am a mom who went through this with my daughter two years ago (regular adm., though). The waiting IS hard, but in the end have faith you will end up where you will be most happy and successful....hopefully, Barnard!!!</p>
<p>Best to you all!!!</p>
<p>I'm applying RD!</p>
<p>Yay! Hope we all get in. :D</p>
<p>Has anyone from ED gotten any information on tracking applications yet?
I'm so paranoid lol..</p>
<p>I'm applying RD, and I am quite nervous, even though my counselor keeps on trying to calm me down.</p>
<p>I got an email about tracking applications, and have been monitoring mine for a week or so now. =) They finally finished processing all my parts yesterday.</p>
<p>hey, yea today i got an email saying they received my app, including common app, but next to essay it didnt say that they received it.
did that happen for you? because... my essays on the common app... so maybe thats why? hmmm</p>
<p>No, my essay was always there.</p>
<p>My 'Early Decision Signature' was missing for a while, which made me extremely paranoid, considering that they had my supplement and the ED signature was on the supp, but I called the office and it's all good. They said that unless they call you, they have everything they need and just haven't processed it or entered it to the computer yet. So don't worry =)</p>
<p>Yeah.. They got my SAT I, and SAT II #1.. but somehow.. they don't have SAT II #2 yet..</p>
<p>So strange.. You'd think that if all three numbers were on the same score report, they'd get them all at the same time.. -___-;;</p>
<p>My dd applied to Barnard ED; she got an email over Thanksgiving saying that her application is incomplete and that she still needs one recommendation, a transcript, and the hs guidance counselor rec. DD's teacher (the one with the missing rep) says he saw the guidance department secretary placing his rec in an envelope with all the other materials--his was the last piece of information needed. I know he's not lying because he gave dd a copy of his letter. She's emailed admissions and will call later. I'm assuming that the admissions people don't do anything until all the information for a candidate is available? My oldest dd never had a problem with having missing information--makes me wonder about younger dd's school guidance dept. I've heard some horror stories about them. Should we ask guidance to send the missing info. again?</p>
<p>I had this problem when my son was applying to college (different colleges of course -- but same issue: missing rec) -- and the solution for us was to have the teacher or g.c. FAX the recs to the respective admissions departments. I'd suggest calling the admissions office first to make sure that this is o.k.</p>
<p>It's not worth worrying about whose fault it is -- admissions offices handle a lot of mail and paperwork, so it is very possible that the rec has been lost or misfiled in Barnard's end. But rather than waiting for it to turn up, it's just easiest to get them another copy by the fastest and most efficient means possible.</p>
<p>So is anyone else starting to reaaaally feel the nerves kicking in?</p>
<p>I keep counting down the days, anxiously flipping through the mail 'just in case,' flashing back to moments in my interview or sentences from my essays and wishing I could revisit them, having these ecstatic little day dreams where I've been accepted and get to run around, jumping up and down, calling my whole family, or sometimes these other daydreams where I'm rejected, wallowing in self-pity and guilt, resignedly attempting to tell myself it doesn't matter where I end up but knowing that it does. There are times when I get so excited about it that I think about my life as a Barnard student - what classes I could take in which years, what kind of job I'd like to have while there, the kind of person I'd be upon graduation - and then there are times when I'm just so angry at myself for not having worked harder to get in, feeling a hundred percent sure that I don't have a chance in the world; and then there are times where I just feel nervous and shaky and completely unsure of what the best way to think is. </p>
<p>I want this so badly. I'm wholly in love with Barnard for reasons infinite, some obvious and others personal, and can't think of anything I've ever wanted more, or a time when I've ever been so desperate and irrational over something out of my hands. It's just that every time I've been there, or even think about being there, it feels so right. I can't even coherently explain it. </p>
<p>I know it's best not to think about it, but the closer it gets to the 15th, the more anxious I've become. Every thought about it becomes a plea, a bargain-attempt, a frustrated festering of guilt. I can't get my mind off of it.</p>
<p>It felt good to let that out, though. :)</p>
<p>Gah. Ignore me, advise me, sympathize with me?</p>
<p>Please?</p>
<p>Hey, FalseAzure:I can absolutely sympathize. We were feeling much the same awy around here two years ago when awaiting my d's decision (RD). The waiting was absolutely painful and I think you hit it when you said you'd never "been so desperate and irrational over something out of my hands...". That's just it: it is out of your hands at this point. I know (from personal experience) that it's hard to ACT on that fact and just go on about your life, but that is probably what you should attempt to do just now. Focus on other things for a while. THis college stuff WILL work out!</p>
<p>Best to you!</p>
<p>I applied ED, too. Gaahhhh. I wish they notified us sooner. ):</p>
<p>i know exactly how you feel...i am in my college counselor's office EVERYDAY and all she says is "i know it means nothing but you are such a competitive applicant" and although it makes me feel better, i still manage to FREAK OUT!!!...can you imagine what next week will be like...and i have FINALS!</p>
