<p>Yeah. Not to raise false hopes.</p>
<p>Just let it come. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.</p>
<p>just a reminder to bring everyone down to earth: only acceptances are sent out by express mail. :(</p>
<p>I know, and that stresses me out majorly, especially since Express can take 2-3 days in itself, which means that one is constantly wondering! Aack.</p>
<p>ofjojiojoidjoijf.a i’m debating disabling this site for the next few days so I will never know what to expect, but I love talking to you girls too much!</p>
<p>(and last night after I read the words “ED Letters Mailed tomorrow” my computer decided to freak out and I wasn’t able to access anything until today! A whole day of anxiety without other perspectives!)</p>
<p>(I have not yet had my dark chocolate, but it will come!)</p>
<p>is it Express mail, or Priority? Express is guaranteed overnight. Priority “averages” 2-3 days (so it could be longer or shorter).</p>
<p>Okay. I thought that it was Priority, but I’ve looked back @ all the other forums and they’ve all been “Express,” which . . . <em>gulp</em> . . . does mean overnight, though so many of the girls in the past have said they waited a few days.</p>
<p>Like I said somewhere else, I’m going to expect an acceptance letter - if the admissions staff has been kind enough to give me one - on Monday. If I don’t get anything then, I’m going to start freaking out.</p>

<p>Wej - I agree with you. I am going to hope to recieve a letter tomorrow but I won’t start freaking out until Monday comes around and I still don’t get it.</p>
<p>gloriachristmas - Oooh man, that must have been awful. I need you guys! I need to know the latest updates on when it could be here.</p>
<p>I hope it is express… if I am accepted then I want to know ASAP.</p>
<p>By the way, what do you think would be worse? Being deferred or being denied. I feel like even though you have a chance of getting in still when you are deferred, at least when you are denied it is like, “okay, this sucks but now I can start getting over it”. I only ask because two of my friends applied ED to Tufts and got deferred today. I would HATE that.</p>
<p>Oh, I’d prefer a rejection. The last week has been HELL. If I had to deal with that for another few more months.</p>
<p>Hey guys. I’m a Barnard first-year who applied RD. I just made an account so I can tell you this…try not to freak out. Seriously. Barnard was definitely not my first choice, but I ended up here (happily!) and it’s totally the right school for me. You’re going to end up at the school that’s right for you – I promise. Barnard really isn’t for everyone. If you don’t get in ED, I really think then it just wasn’t meant to be – there’s a different school out there that’s the right one for you. I know it’s really hard to hear a no. I was deferred ED I and then rejected. ED II I was straight up rejected. Yeah, it sucked. But I came to realize that if I wasn’t right for a school, then it wasn’t right for me. Barnard’s obviously a great school, but it’s not the only school. You’re far from perfect – we all are – and so is Barnard.
Think about it this way: if you get in, that’s sweet for you. If not, you just avoided four years of Hewitt food cause they just made the meal plan mandatory…shudder…
PS – The real reason I’m writing this is to avoid working on my finals. I have 5 essays, which totals 26 page minimum due on Thursday. Not to scare those of you who get in… But for those of you who don’t, there’s another bullet you just dodged! Seriously, ENJOY your senior year, because I’ve written 31 essays so far this semester…LOVES IT.</p>
<p>lol thank you so much, I actually feel better. For now at least.</p>
<p>Just a tiny bit of parental information: My D was accepted to Barnard after being deferred ED. The anxiety was totally worth it, and she did have a wonderful four years there.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, I totally agree with rnb1065: you will end up where you’re meant to be. My S was deferred and then rejected at this ED school and now wonders what he was thinking because he loves the school he attends and is a much better fit for it and it for him.</p>
<p>Wow, so i completely forgot about the countdown. Maybe because none of us are sure if we’re getting it Monday or Wednesday, but oh well - </p>
<p>THREE MORE DAYS</p>
<p>I am for some reason hoping that I get it today – I am at the point where I may explode if I have to wait any longer :P</p>
<p>Me too, Gerf. I’m super anxious. I feel kind of sick.</p>
<p>no mail for me today…
monday seems like the day. 
if i don’t get anything monday, i think i may cry.
did anyone else dream about their letters last night? ugggh…</p>
<p>ugh my facebook account has been awash with college acceptance statuses which makes me more anxious. Stanford, Duke, Wharton etc – apparently everyone I know has been successful in their college stuff. But then again, a lot of people would not post about rejections so there is a bit of a response bias. Actually, one girl I know got in ED to Columbia so maybe I’ll see her next year.</p>
<p>Man, the really close waiting period sucks. </p>
<p>Does anyone here live in Texas??</p>
<p>Also, I have finals this week so I’m considering not opening my letter (assuming I get it this upcoming week) just in case it is not positive so the bad news doesn’t spoil my finals.</p>
<p>23p, a big letter means you got in, a small letter means you didn’t. You don’t have to open it to know.</p>
