Most schools have a June 1st deadline. However, there are exceptions based on the school (aka private schools can kind of set arbitrary commitment deadlines). Most public schools will have SIRs all on the same day (June 1st). However, there has been some talk from some schools about extending deadlines and stuff.
The after May 1st rolling date is already a pushed date compared to their normal transfer response date. I looked back through a lot of the past threads and it seems as though most years’ decisions began coming out the last week of April.
@daynamarie101 @corinnaolson thank you so much and congrats!!! best of luck:)
@brightplaces I noticed that too! How strange… hopefully we will hear back within the next few days
Also, I don’t know if this is pertinent, but Columbia announced all decisions will be released this Friday at 5:00 pm, so, perhaps because they are sister schools, it will be the same.
In 2016 it looks like they released their first decision on May 6th (Friday) at around 9 AM. However, most people heard back the following Thursday in the afternoon.
In 2017 it looks like they released on May 5th (Friday) at around 2:00PM.
In 2018 it looks like they released decisions on May 3rd (Thursday) at 4:30 ish PM.
In 2019 it looks like the first round of mostly waitlist and acceptances came out on April 25th (Thursday) at 7:30 PM. Rejections seemed to here back around May 9th. Waitlists who were accepted heard back late May.
In summation, it appears that Barnard has an affinity for Thursday and in the past does not seem to have coordinated with Columbia (last year’s decisions came before Columbia). In 2018 the Columbia decisions came the day before Barnard. I hope this saves others some stress of compulsively searching through threads (lol)!
I’m so stressed over Barnard being need aware to the point where I regret requesting FA (plus my only strong option so far is an OOS public that gave no aid anyway). 
My EFC is around 39k, but I feel like so many accepted transfers are full pay that I don’t know at how much of a disadvantage I am.
My EFC is 0 so I’m worried it will be a straight up rejection for that 
Would a low EFC hurt my chances or would having a high EFC increase your chances? Or both? I think its pretty sad that they’re need-aware 
My EFC is 0 so I hope that doesn’t kill my chances lol
Most Ivy League/exclusive schools are need aware because they want the majority of the people they accept to attend, and in order to attend, they need to be able to afford the school. It’s all about protecting their yield to keep their acceptance rate low and their prestige up.
All Ivy League schools are need blind, not need aware.
Barnard is need aware for transfers. It is need blind for regular admits. But it is need aware for transfers it says online.
I hope we hear back today! The wait is killing me!
I think people will start hearing back tomorrow/Friday but who knows
Have anyone been able to get in-touch with admissions? I’ve been calling, emailing, etc and haven’t heard back:/
I haven’t been able to but I haven’t tried in the past few weeks. @LCR I really hope we hear today.
I have gotten a response when I directly emailed my regional admissions counselor
Do you guys think we’ll get it back tonight?
last year, decisions came out at 7:30pm, so its still possible!
