<p>I went on a tour today to both NYU and Barnard today, and geez, the rush hour is horrible! 3 miles in 1 hour upon leaving!
And I'm confirmed that Barnard is the school for me. I really really would love to go there. No inkling of a doubt about it.</p>
<p>Yes, the traffic in NY is horrendous. But thankfully, public transportation reigns supreme in the city!</p>
<p>Barnard is definitely my #1, as well.</p>
<p>What other schools is everyone else applying to? I am also applying to Vassar, Swarthmore, NYU, et cetera...</p>

<p>barnard is my first choice too. i am so nervous to find out!
good luck everyone. :)</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the acceptance letters go out through snail mail in a big, priority mail envelope because they give you a huge folder full of Barnard goodies/info to go along with your letter. At least that was the way for me last year. Good luck to you guys! :)</p>
<p>I applied to vassar, colgate, hamilton, UofR, nyu (accepted gsp), su (accepted). </p>
<p>melloyello, do you know the acceptance rate, space, and how many people applied to there last year? When did you receive the letter (if rd)?</p>
<p>Sorry, if i'm bombarding you with these questions, but ever since that visit, i've come to idolize the college, and it has become my virtual dream school. I'll be so crush, if i don't get in, and i'm not handling the stress very well.</p>
<p>Actually, I applied ED, so I got my acceptance letter around Dec. 18th. I think RD people got their acceptances around the first week of April. I THINK. I'm not sure, sorry. The stats for the Class of 2008 is on the Admissions website, under "Apply to Barnard", and then under "Profile of Class of 2008". I think the RD acceptance rate last year was 27%, or something like that. But they have all the stats that you'll need on that page, from SATs and GPAs to geographical locations of enrolled students. </p>
<p>I hope you get accepted as well! You certainly sound like you would enjoy being here and succeed here as well. Barnard is truly amazing, and I hope you get to experience it! If you have anymore questions about the college, please feel free to e-mail me at <a href="mailto:fm2127@columbia.edu">fm2127@columbia.edu</a>. I guess that goes for anyone else for that matter. :)</p>
<p>Agh, that percent rate is really low for Rd. Reaally low. Thanks, now i'm going to dwell on the regrets of not applying as ed, if i could've afforded it. I'm sure I'll have more questions, if perchance, i'm accepted.</p>
<p>Hmm, that acceptance rate <em>is</em> a bit disheartening. I would've applied ED, but financial aid is a big deal for my family.</p>
<p>But somehow, I'm also glad I applied RD. There are just so many other possibilities that I love...and I'm starting to get acceptances from other great colleges!</p>
<p>chiaroscuro, did you hear from Vassar, or any of the colleges I applied to?</p>
<p>Nope. Haven't heard anything from Vassar or NYU. I didn't apply to any of those other schools.</p>
<p>One more week, ladies!
Good luck!</p>
<p>one more week? shouldn't we be receiving the letters two weeks from tomorrow (april 1st)?</p>
<p>oops, didn't see the other post where it says that barnard is sending out letters on march 25th. ahhh, now i am nervous! i can't wait!</p>

<p>You have no idea how neurotic I am, not just about Barnard, but about other schools, too! As soon as I come home, I HAVE to check the mailbox and my e-mail! <em>sigh</em></p>
<p><em>crosses fingers</em> best of luck to everyone! btw, does anyone know if mail is being delivered on good friday (the 25th lol) and/or on easter monday? i'm so nervous and anxious!</p>
<p>I think so...they're not national holidays, right?</p>
<p>I looked on the USPS website, no they WILL be delivering on Friday and Monday, they are not observed by the post offices. YAY!</p>
<p>thanks so much!!!</p>
<p>WOOHOO!!! :)</p>
<p>Ahaha...I'm such a loser.</p>
<p>That would've been a cruel twist of fate, though, if the mail wasn't going to be delivered on those days. I'll probably be one of the first ones to get a decision (most likely Monday), since I live close to Barnard.</p>
