done with Barnard discourse.

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

just wanted to put it out there that the vast majority of applicants go to barnard FOR barnard. for many girls it’s our dream school since the 9th grade or whatever, and it’s simply reductive to call it a backdoor option because i speak for many when i say i’d turn down columbia for barnard.

the community is great and the education, atmosphere is immaculate. just wanted to say that. barnard women always carry this unmistakeable vibe that makes them really different, it’s not even just because they’re from a womens college or whatever… interacting with tour guides there or students there, you can tell they’re cut from a different flesh. anyway. hope i get in. to the AO seeing this I mean every word i said lol!

The only–or best–way to know would be to disassociate the two schools (cancel privilege of cross registration & eliminate the words “Columbia University” from the Barnard College degree) and see the effect on Barnard College applications and admissions.

OP: I think that I need to make clear that I agree with you that applicants to Barnard College want to be at Barnard College and not elsewhere.

My observation above was not respectful enough to your well stated point of view.
