<p>ahisma, my d will be attending Barnard this fall and I was so very happy to show your post to her. You have affirmed her decision yet again. Thank you so very much!!!! And welcome! Hopefully we will meet at a parents weekend or at orientation or something. Those of us who have met on CC need to wear signs around our necks or something (LOL)!!</p>
<p>I know this is totally off-topic, but I just wanted to share my good news with absolutely everyone in the world:</p>
<p>I just won an NSF grant. :-D AND I OWE IT ALL TO BARNARD!</p>
<p>(okay, okay, not all, but Barnard helped a lot)</p>
<p>Congratulations, PrimeFactor!! To write a thesis, win an NSF grant while all the time functioning as a "stealth" PR official for Barnard on CC. </p>
<p>All kidding aside you have been a valuable source of information for the 'rents as well as the students.</p>
<p>To Silver_Waves:</p>
<p>Yea, I got into Barnard, but it wasn't exactly one of my
top choices...
The third school that I thought about was Rice, and I was
considering JHU for a while until I received my packet from
the U of C....</p>
<p>So have you decided yet? What's your current opinion??</p>
<p>My heart tells me Barnard...yeh.. hmm.. I need to go with that on this one.. otherwise I may regret it.</p>
<p>Good luck at Chicago H Sky!!!</p>
<p>These decisions are so very difficult. But I am happy for you, Silver, and glad you and my D will get to be friends!!! She has already "connected" with several delightful young SBBW's on the Barnard discussion board...go and join them!</p>
<p>Hi churchmusicmom.. which Barnard discussion board are you talking about?</p>
<p>SO i'm going to BARNARD!!!! :) With my parents full support, and they are so happy for me that my dream is coming true!!!
I woke up this morning, and they had made the decision for me lol :) And my Dad told me about the research he had done about Barnard, and it just delighted me more!!!!
So yeppp... I'll see all you ladies at Barnard!! Can't wait!!!!</p>
<p>Silver, if you go to the Barnard website and go to admissions, there is a link for admitted students info.One of the options there (along with RSVP'ing for a campus reception, info about housing, etc) is a link to a discussion board where you can ask questions of current Barnard students. It's called the Barnard College Message Board. </p>
<p>Good luck and I am so happy you have decided to attend Barnard. I love that you can begin to make connections with other new students (as my daughter has) no matter where you now live...it makes the prospect of leaving home not quite as intimidating...</p>
<p>:) Yehh, totally! Thanks churchmusicmom, I know which board you're talking about now :)</p>
<p>I have already made a few connections with students there already, and girls that are goin!
I'm gonna hop on over to the message board and will hopefully bump into your daughter as well lol :)</p>
<p>silver--you will love it there! Congratulations on your decision. So happy your parents came around--they usually do. I'm very eager for my d to meet you all and to see you all on moving day.</p>
<p>OOH I can't wait :)</p>
<p>And ahimsa, thank you for your lovely post before!!</p>
