Barnard TRANSFER Fall 2020

What time would decisions normally come out?

Earlier someone said that based on previous threads they should come out around 4:30 EST, but I’ve got nothing on my end. Maybe tomorrow?

I checked when I applied as a freshman and they sent my decision at 5:45 pm so who knows lol

What about for international transfer applicants?

Just checked last year’s College Confidential— it appears as though they came out at around 7:30 but I’m not sure

Would anyone know the time frame in which they come out (i.e. May 1st through date)?

@Yankeefan20 the website also said, “Barnard is unable to assist international transfer students.”

Are you guys checking the portal where all your materials are listed with the check marks and stuff? Is that where it’s supposed to be?

Yes but they send you an “we updated your portal email” first.

Checking it obsessively but if I remember correctly from last year they send out an email directly to the admissions portal:)

The emails can be late tho cause I remember when I applied last year my portal was updated and I didn’t get an email about the update till over an hour after.

If anyone has spoken to admissions recently-- did the officer say if the admissions decisions would be postponed because of the world’s current climate?

Does anyone receive any emails or updates? I am so freaking nervous. Wish everyone good luck. Finger crossed.

In terms of an email, I havent received a “Portal Update” email from any of the other schools I applied to even though they normally would for first year applications, so I wouldn’t expect an email before a decision for transfer admissions.

@corinnaolson for your other schools, have you just received the admissions decision on the “status page”? (with all of the checkmarks)

The portal in which u have the status page is almost always where you will receive your admissions decision. Barnard does an upload straight to the portal historically. The only other thing I have heard of is getting the acceptance letter straight to your email (happens for some BU acceptances-I’ve heard) or a call from the office for acceptances from a waitlist.

@LCR yup! I kinda just kept checking it on the days the decision was expected to come out and I would find it there. For some (like Bryn Mawr) I did receive an email and for other (Wellesley) they said in the portal exactly when to expect it, but for all the others it was just periodically checking the portal

@corinnaolson @brightplaces thanks so much! Have you heard from all of your schools so far? Also, would you happen to know the average deposit deadline?

@LCR I’ve heard from 3 other schools (2 of which are other 7 sisters) and still waiting on 1. The two I was accepted at have June 1 deadlines

@LCR I have one deadline on May 15th (accepted first week of march) and the other is June 1st (accepted march 15th) I’m still waiting on 5 schools. Hope that helps!
