<p>ah. Thanks Shay! Perfect!</p>

<p>Not to scare everyone… But thought you all should know: [Admission</a> figures show record year for Barnard | Barnard College](<a href=“http://www.barnard.edu/headlines/admission-figures-show-record-year-barnard]Admission”>Admission figures show record year for Barnard | Barnard College)</p>

<p>when do yall think well hear?</p>

<p>Apparently last year the decisions came in two waves. I think around May 3 and May 15.</p>

<p>whats everyones stats?</p>

<p>My stats are low… so let this be a confidence booster for everyone.</p>

<p>High school: GPA -honestly do not know probably around 3.7
I submitted ACT score - 21 (I know it is sad)
I left high school after my sophomore year to enter a gifted program in college.</p>

<p>College:
Sophomore: GPA 3.58
I have a bunch of extracurriculars:</p>

<p>High School:
• “S” (Soroptimist) Club – member Awards: Community Service Award (2x) – This award was received by those who completed 25 hours of community service in one semester.
• Lend-A-Hand Club – member Awards: Big Hand Award (2x) – This award was received by those who participated in two service events a month.
• All-Star Cheerleading – won 1st place at nationals final year
College:
• First Year Council – member - no hierarchy
• SOC (Sociology and Social Work) Club – VP and previously historian
• I am currently working with my business professor and two other students to start a business center on campus. As of now, I am in charge of creating a survey, getting it approved, and administering it to students on campus. This group is teaching me the process of starting an organization and I plan to use these skills when creating a community center. - I wrote this on an app.
• MBC Cheerleading Club – Captain
• Latinas Unidas (Latinas United) – member</p>

<p>I applied for psyc & soc majors. </p>

<p>Idk what else there is to put…</p>

<p>Deans list freshman sophomore yr.
Member of alpha lambda delta honor society.
my short answers kind of ran together… i would rate them 7-8/10</p>

<p>everyone else?</p>

<p>i have a 3.65 in college, would enter as a junior, had a very low 3.5 in hs, 31 on my act, good ECs though: lots of volunteering in hospitals and used to be a professional ballet dancer. i worked really hard on my essay and answers this time around. i hope they see my determination as this is my third time applying haha i hope they dont see that as pathetic. ugh i want to go to barnard! oh and im applying for biology/pre med</p>

<p>I think they will see it as determination.</p>

<p>thank you! i really hope so ughhhh</p>

<p>Ugh, I’m in right now at two schools that I like a ton, but I’m so anxious for the Barnard decision. It’s been my favorite school since like 7th grade, haha.</p>

<p>My stats are just…funky. I have a GED (because of health problems), and I’m not really sure how that’s going to affect me. But anyway, my stats :slight_smile: :</p>

<p>HS:
GED (I actually did really well, which I don’t think counts for anything, since, you know…it’s the GED, lol.)
2130 on SAT (CR: 740, W: 700, M: 690)
lots of volunteering throughout high school that I’ve continued into college, but no other real extracurriculars.</p>

<p>College:
3.9 gpa in a community college. So, good gpa, but crappy school :/</p>

<p>current extracurriculars: lots of volunteer work, with a few leadership/delegate sorts of things…really nothing special</p>

<p>I liked my main common app essay and the extracurricular essays, but I hate most of my Barnard essays. I wish I felt more confident about them…right now I really feel like I’m going to get rejected/waitlisted because of those darn essays. </p>

<p>Arghhh…I wish it was May already!</p>

<p>congrats @handgrenades on your other schools! what schools? i got in two as well but i have yet to hear from the schools i really care about!</p>

<p>I am in the same boat as you both. Two schools, but I am waiting for Barnard! Dream/reach school!</p>

<p>Thanks, sarahjojojo! I’m in at Susquehanna and American. I would absolutely go to either one (Susquehanna is so pretty and has a great community feel and I got into the American honors program, which looks fun), but I’m with you guys – Barnard is definitely my dream!</p>

<p>What schools are you guys in at?</p>

<p>So far… Mount Holyoke and Hampshire. I will not hear back from the rest until the end of May!</p>

<p>I just created an account to participate in this thread! barnard is also my first choice. have anyone checked their application tracker yet? mine still says application fee not paid although i did so before march 15!</p>

<p>@barnardbarnard it usually takes them three weeks to process, everything in my tracker is there but then again I sent in most of my stuff in January.</p>

<p>it’s been exactly a month! they’re received the rest of the things that i’ve sent together with my application fee. even things I’ve sent after my application fee, they’ve got it too.i am so worried!</p>

<p>Give them a call to double check. It’s probably not a big deal, though.</p>

<p>only 29 days away ladies!</p>

<p>i really hope we find out sooner than that</p>
