<p>HEY GUYS!</p>
<p>I’M international student but i’m studying in a US high school right now
I KNOW that Barnard is the college that I want to spend 4 years there. Anh I will apply ED next year ^^
Do you guys can share your experience of applying ED this year?</p>
<p>Hey @Jenny. Don’t close all your options now! My process started with a very wide range of schools, and Barnard wasn’t even on my radar until halfway through the summer. I narrowed and narrowed and narrowed and narrowed until I came up with a great backup (Honors colleges are your FRIEND) and preparing for the worst. Overall, I always knew I wanted to apply ED somewhere, and it happened to be Barnard for me. Just a note: once you’ve applied, you have APPLIED. Don’t look back and thing “Oh, I should’ve changed that” or “Hm, maybe I should send a last minute letter!”. Once you apply, sit back. Waiting is torture, but you will end up some place that thinks you’ll have FUN there.
Good luck! Keep working hard. It’s all worth it. :)</p>
<p>@smartundecided: hi !!! thank you for your advices !!!
yes, i always want to apply ED somewhere like u!!! i think i will visit barnard next year and can find more reasons make Barnard 100% be my 1st choice ^^
btw, do you know anyone from Vietnam in Barnard, cuz I don’t think no one is vietnamese who is studying in barnard right now. ^^
And do you think Barnard is generous in financial aid for international students?</p>
<p>Barnard does not guarantee financial aid to international students, and has very limited funds for that. (In other words, they may offer aid to a few, but most who are accepted will not get aid.)</p>
<p>really??? >"<<<<<<< it’s a bad news for me :(</p>
<p>Ooh, looks like I’ll be a panelist at the Student Panel during admitted students weekend… see you guys there? :D</p>
<p>I’m applying ED next year too, I’ve been set on Barnard since freshman year, and will be so bummed if i don’t get in! It seems like Barnard is getting more and more difficult to get into every year!</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted ED. She’s super excited!</p>
<p>Congrats to your daughter, PrepMother, and welcome to the world of Barnard moms!!!</p>
<p>I so would not want to be an RDer right now. Gosh, remember how we all felt when december rolled around? Every day until I got my letter I went home from school and cried. With the college application process as personal as it is, I took the status of my application as a measure of my worth as a person because they aren’t just looking at grades; they’re judging your personality. Looking back, this concept sounds completely outrageous, but that’s how I felt at the time. If only for the sake of my well being, I’m so happy I got in. I am generally an extremely happy person, but I’m pretty sure I was depressed last semester. Self-evaluation was very hard for me, and I’m glad I don’t have to do it often.
Did anyone else feel this way? I wish there was some way to go bad and hug ourselves.</p>
<p>you know that cliche phrase “you don’t know what you’ve got 'till its gone”? I fully understood the meaning of that last December. When I found out I had gotten in, I was euphoric. The happiest I’ve ever consciously been in my life. Because this seemingly impossible dream I’d had since forever had come true. Barnard had chosen ME against all of the fantastically talented women who had applied there, against the aprox. 40% increase in ED applications, I had been chosen. And this euphoria seemed to push away an iron fist that had grasped my insides for so long, keeping me in this dim little box. I didn’t even realize its presence until I noticed its absence.</p>
<p>I am so glad all of that is over now, because I really dont know how I would have continued on like that. My entire family was on edge from the moment I submitted my application, until I finally received my letter in the mail. I was always so disheartened whenever I watched more clips about Barnard, shuffled through my numerous brochures and books. I wanted so much to be a part of it. Its such a freeing feeling when something HUGE like this goes your way.</p>
<p>? I know everyone has said that they checked some admitted students site and were able to enroll at Barnard before they even got their letters…
what is this website?
i applied RD and am KILLING myself right now waiting…
i can log into the track your application site?
please tell me what this site is!</p>
<p>What we were talking about back in December was an accepted students link that went up on the Barnard admissions website. The link isn’t up there anymore, but I’m guessing it will go up in the next few days. We were able to put in the code we received for the tracking website into the other website to see if the site would recognize the password. This DOES NOT say if you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted (deferred in our case). All it does is allow you into the site to confirm your plans to attend Barnard (meaning you were accepted) or tell you the password was not recognized. I would not recommend using this strategy however, because it isn’t a guarantee. It could be that your acceptance hasn’t been entered in the computer yet, and that is why your code isn’t recognized. Or, if you haven’t been accepted, you still don’t know if you were rejected or waitlisted. I would wait the few extra days for the mail envelope. You will still probably know by next week. I wish you luck!</p>
<p>thank you! im sooo nervous. its a reach with a 3.78 gpa and a 2030 on the SAT but we will see! hopefully they look favorably on my application…</p>
<p>Barnard1234- I had a 3.9 and a 1990. No worries, and the link is back up!</p>
<p>I had a 3.8 and a 2010</p>
<p>hi! I wonder if anyone remembers me? I was around here during ED but I was deferred. I just got accepted today! What a surprise.</p>
<p>heyy!!! congrats! thats such great news! I’m glad it worked out for you.</p>
<p>Congrats Shay!!! Hopefully you’re still planning on Barnard. Can’t wait to (possibly) meet you next year!</p>
<p>accepted! i can’t believe it my scores sucked! i got rejected from nyu, which was a low match, but i’m still in shock i got in! congrats to everyone!</p>
