<p>I had my interview two months ago & I absolutely love this school. What do you think my chances are? I posted in the chances board but not many people responded about Barnard. I’m a little worried because my GPA/scores aren’t exceptional. I know this isn’t a guarantee, but I’m just curious to see how I compare.
I’m also applying to UCLA, USC, UCI, UCSD, & Claremont McKenna, & some others. Thanks!</p>

<p>Please know I am just a mom of a Barnard student, so my evaluation of your chances is really not worth that much.</p>

<p>Your grades and your involvement at school look good and pretty intense. Hopefully, your essay is a great one and you managed to convey passion for one of your many EC's, as I think you probably need to do that to make yourself a "standout" in their minds. Barnard is really great at looking at the complete application package, not just test scores, so that is a factor in your favor as you probably are thinking yours are not "great" (which anyone would do if you spend enough time reading these boards....CUH-RAZY scores reported all over the place here!). </p>

<p>All that being said, as you know, admission to Barnard is increasingly competitive. It looks like you are applying to several other schools and I am sure, if Barnard does not work out for you, you will end up with a very good match. Easier said than done, but try not to stress too much over this...</p>

<p>Best to you!</p>
