<p>seniors2008: I am a mom of a Barnard Junior and not really qualified to determine "chances", but you certainly appear competitive in what is likely to be a pretty rigorous process. I certainly understand where you are now that you have completed the application and are waiting (at least I assume your app is in from your post above). Just hang in there and breathe. </p>

<p>Best to you!</p>

<p>Thanks for the opinion guys... it's great to hear encouragement but I'm still VERY nervous; I know I have a shot but I feel like its a tossup. I go to a very competitive high school and don't make the top 20%. I have an interview comming up, and I really want to make an impression. Any tips?</p>

<p>Just enjoy your time there and think of questions YOU want to ask at your interview. It most likely will be with a student interviewer, so will be very relaxed. My daughter enjoyed hers!</p>
