<p>So Barnard has always been my dream school, but my parents (for financial reasons) insisted that I apply regular decision. Now, after a series of events not worth listing here, circumstances have changed and they're allowing me to apply ED.</p>
<p>I'd be thrilled but for 1 problem: Barnard requires 2 subject tests, and I've only taken 1 (US history-740). I had been assuming I'd take lit and Spanish in November, choose the better of the 2, and then submit them to all my schools as regular decision. Now, obviously, I'm in a bit of a bind; the earliest I can take subject tests is obviously in November, and Barnard's due date is November 15th. Assuming I have all the other parts of my application ready (I already do) could I email them, explaining the situation, and get some leniency?</p>
<p>I'm absolutely freaking out because I'm realizing in hindsight how stupid I was not to just take them earlier when I could have. I'm completely in love with Barnard, and since I'm already a bit of a reach there I REALLY want to apply ED. Can anyone give me any advice in this situation? Any help is very, very appreciated. Thanks!</p>
