<p>Hello. I was hoping some wise parents out there might have some useful information/tips for a sophomore who wishes to transfer to Barnard. The posts I've looked at on the Parents Forum seem really well thought-out and helpful.</p>
<p>I've wanted to go to Barnard for a while; I was waitlisted as a freshman but I've worked hard on my college GPA and I've tried to find ec's I truly enjoy. The problem is there are quite a few gaps in my application that I can forsee but I think I'm still willing to risk the time and effort (and pride!). The school I'm at now, while it's given me quite a few opportunities, really isn't suited to me personality-wise; I feel that I would be challenged a great deal more at Barnard, would find more people like me to be close friends with, and I've heard many good things about the English department (I'm majoring in English).</p>
<p>Any type of information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.</p>
