[heidiyin1223]

<p>@Millie22‌ I think you have a very strong chance!! Your stats are very high for ED and you have good EC’s and summer activities with several leadership positions. Barnard likes passionate, academically competent students. Your one weakness could be that it is difficult to identify your passions, yes you are very involved in your school, but what are your talents?
Regardless, I am being overly picky and I think you have a strong application and have a very likely chance of acceptance
What were your supplementaries about?</p>

I am OBSESSED with Barnard. It’s all I think about and I am dying to go there!!! I don’t know if the odds are necessarily in my favor because I have lower test scores than most applying, but I love this school to death and can barely picture going anywhere else.
Also, I don’t know if this is a hook or just a weird thing but when I visited last for the open house I bought a Barnard mug as a good-luck sort-of-thing. Maybe it will help?
Anyway, Good luck to all of you!! Have an awesome senior year! </p>

[mindyislife]

<p>My subject scores still aren’t showing up so I’m not sure if I should be freaking out or if that’s normal. </p>

[collegedreamz22]

<p>on the 11th? OMG</p>

[OKlivy]

<p>I called them and asked and they said not to worry about missing test scores on the tracker unless they call me directly saying that they’re missing them.
The 11th is so soon!! Ahhh that’s crazy!</p>

[thebestmanatee]

<p>Wait @Frenchiezzz‌ is that an admission decision on the 11th? because they said in the email about sending 1st quarter grades they would send an email in “Early December” saying when we would get the email with the admission decision. </p>
