Me too! Missing midterm report. Back when Barnard was answering emails, my local admissions officer said an updated official transcript could substitute for a midterm report, and the portal shows they’ve received my transcript, but still says the report is missing? Not getting email responses from both transfer@barnard.edu and my local admissions rep. Not sure what to do, and I hope this doesn’t affect my admission decision. ? Anyone have any ideas?
Odd, I recently got a response from an admissions counselor, try that route instead. I honestly am not sure how to help you other than that and I am so sorry. For the midterm report could you email your professors the pdf and ask if they could sign it online over PDF? Mine have been quite amenable to that…
It’s possible that it’s just taking a long time to process and update the portal? It definitely took quite a while to show up for me on my portal even though it was a physical copy (and I live in NYC so it’s not like it took that long to get there lol)
I sent my midterm reports (unofficially) weeks ago. They emailed last week and said they were missing the reports. So I reforwarded them my email as well as my professor’s emails stating my grades (so it was a little more official). I am really stressed out, is this going to negatively impact me? They aren’t answering any of my emails.
At this point I don’t think they are checking/communicating through email. See if you can upload the midterm reports to the portal, as well as any screenshots of emails. I think this is the most secure/fastest way you can communicate with them.
Do you guys think it would be possible to ask for an early read?
On the website it says the deadline was April 1st, but on commonapp it says the deadline was yesterday? So was yesterday too late to apply?
@FarmerBoi I’m 99% sure the application deadline was April 1st. It was originally March 15th but it was extended because of COVID… decisions are being released in a little over a week ?
i’ve had my college report sent twice. it still doesn’t show up as received on the checklist. i am = stressed.
I’ve had my current college send the transfer report twice as well. They still haven’t received it, nor are they responding to any of my emails.
Guys try submitting via the Barnard portal, I had to submit my transfer report twice as well, so I tried submitting via the portal and now mine says recieved.
Does anyone think we’ll hear back next Friday? Also has anyone heard if the fall semester will be online or on campus?
@AwaitingApplicant131 Hi, did you mean your midterm report, or your transfer report? I have no way of uploading the transfer report via applicant portal since my school sends it directly to Barnard’s office on my behalf. Did you ask your school to provide you with a digital copy of it so that you could upload it yourself? Thanks a lot!
@childishlandino I think probably 2 Fridays from now is more likely, I think they’re shooting for after May 1
@teenybee Yeah, be careful with uploading the transfer report/college report yourself. My dean told me that even though he filled everything out properly for a transfer student, he didn’t get accepted anywhere because the student was the one who sent it out. I’m not sure if it’s different now but normally, they definitely want that 100% directly from the school.
@childishlandino They have not yet commented on the living situation in the fall. However, it seems likely that it will be online given the current situation.
Right now it seems like small schools in more rural areas may be able to go back with restrictions like limited class sizes and mandatory masks and stuff like that but large and city schools (or both) are kinda leaning more towards definitely being online. This isn’t like for sure by any means, anything can change at any moment this is just what my newspaper advisor at my current college and a family friend who is admin at a college near me is saying.
my transfer report appears as “waived” on the checklist even though i’ve had it sent twice? does that mean they didn’t get it or???
@teenybee Sorry about that! I meant midterm report, I submitted my transfer report before my school went online, hope everything works out though!
@AwaitingApplicant131 Ohh, got it! Thank you for the clarification, and good luck to you!
I’m so stressed because the awaiting status of my transfer report just changed to “waived”… Is this a negative sign? I’m scared now to even think of getting the decision…
@trademistakes Same here! My school has sent it three times but the status was still awaiting until it changed to “waived” just this morning…
