<p>smartundecided- Now I’m jealous. I’m 5’2. ):
Same here-- everyone who mentioned Barnard to me talked about Columbia-- I think that’s how most people know of Barnard. I’m not even concerned with Columbia anymore (not to undermine the Ivy League education, and even though Columbia’s still integral to Barnard), though, and I’m sure that’s true for everyone here applying ED. When I was doing my supplements I totally fell in love with Barnard, specifically. 
Jaden- I have so much work for next week, and it’s been sitting on my desk. I never thought I’d be struck with senioritis… not good. ): To deal with the stress of waiting I’ve been googling Barnard… which is totally counter-productive. Which reminds me, has anyone found any BC student blogs yet? haha.
trapeze37- Oh, that’s interesting. I’m first generation so this college process is all new to my family. How did they take it when you applied? 
Do you think you’ll apply to Wellesley if this doesn’t work out?</p>
<p>Shay–First generation? Thats really cool, and pretty inspiring. Props to you for figuring out this crazy process. My family actually took it really well. Barnard was actually my grandmother’s first choice way back when, but she couldn’t live on campus because she lived too close (you had to live 150 miles away at the time) and she wanted dorm life. I’ll probably apply to Wellesley if I don’t get in, but its probably my third or fourth choice. Oh, and you totally have me beat on height…I’m 5’1</p>
<p>haha I like that method. I might do that with a new headband or dress…
And I’m 5’9.5 so I totally understand your high heeled situation.
Ugh I really want to wrap presents that’d be so much more plesant than exams!
I’m a legacy of fairly involved parents at Columbia (both CCers, they got married young) though that legacy means nothing for BC admissions… so I’ve always been aware of CC and Barnard and I just didn’t want to deal with the restricting core. I already have so many classes I’m interested in taking, I don’t to have my first two years already filled!</p>
<p>hiii you guys! Count me in as the 30th person ed-ing on this thread! I’ve actually been reading this thread for days ha! It’s interesting listening to all of you guys and your stories because I feel the EXACT same way. I’m so anxious, I have literally read EVERY single thread related to Barnard on college confidential; I feel like Im going INSANE. ahhhhhh oh and I’m an international student from Pakistan. I’m sooo scared and nervous because I’m the second girl ed-ing from my school to Barnard …I’m scared they only might take one of us :(</p>
<p>trapeze37- Heh, it’s not as… spectacular as you think, at least, not around my area. Haha! That doesn’t happen often. Don’t you hate when you’re standing in a group of friends and they’re all talking and you realize that you’re so out of place because everyone is taller than you? (or… that’s just me.) </p>
<p>livlindsa- That’s a nice mentality. : ) I don’t really have the time or money to go shopping right now… I’m planning to give my friends mix CDs with holiday songs. I’m making the CD covers with photoshop. Cheap, but personalized. And baking cookies! Yes, good luck to all of us!</p>
<p>-edit-</p>
<p>javeri- Counted. : P Thanks for finally introducing yourself! Pakistan, wow. Oooh, well, I hope the admissions office decides to be nice to all of us. I’m under the impression that if you’re really suited for Barnard (or any college) they won’t be so nit-picky to only accept one student for each school.</p>
<p>Shay–That happens ALL THE TIME. Three of my best friends are over six feet. They honestly could probably have a conversation and not even realize I was standing there. They’d have to look down to see me at all!</p>
<p>@trapeze It’s better than being constantly aware that your breasts are the natural place to look first because your head is in the lithosphere! I’ve had so many head in the cloud jokes aimed toward me… haha! They’re good every now and then, though.</p>
<p>@Shay YES I can’t wait to bake cookies. Best part of winter break.</p>
<p>And I’m sorry guys this is totally off topic, but how awesome is this PB&J wallet: <a href=“http://foolishgadgets.com/files/2010/05/6a00d8341c5dea53ef0133edb7d7be970b-800wi.jpg[/url]”>http://foolishgadgets.com/files/2010/05/6a00d8341c5dea53ef0133edb7d7be970b-800wi.jpg</a></p>

<p>Jaden- Um. Okay. That’s being added to my imaginary xmas list right now.
(also, I love how you’ve been linking us to funny pictures this whole time.)</p>
<p>If this was facebook, I would like every single image Jaden has shared.</p>
<p>hahaha i love that wallet. unfortunately, for me, im jewish and so all the holiday presents and gift wrapping is over. i have literally worried myself sick about barnard. I have to go for bloodwork tomorrow because they cant figure out whats wrong with me, besides stress.</p>
<p>I REALLY HOPE I GET IN!
you all sound wonderful =]
i hope i get to be meet each and every one of you
best regards!!
-Libby</p>
<p>Awwww 
good luck justwanttogetin</p>
<p>And as for the pictures-- what can I say? It’s how I deal with stress haha everyone needs a little comic relief sometimes.</p>
<p>I really wish we could know when we’re getting the letters. The funny part is the admissions office would probably tell us if they saw how much we were stressing over it. I think if I don’t get my letter by wed night Ill email them but until then I’ll just wait it out I guess.</p>
<p>I definitely think the worst part is the whole priority/regular mail thing. I know that I’ll be freaking out if I don’t get anything by Friday…
feel better justwanttogetin!</p>
<p>i dont know if this is just a rumor…
but i heard that rejects are sent by regular mail and acceptances by priority.
so does that mean if i dont get a letter by the 15th, i should figure im rejected?</p>
<p>libby22- hi! good luck to you too. be sure to come back and tell us your results : )
I’m pretty sure the rumor’s true. But you should probably wait until the 17th at least before losing hope, because if Barnard sends out priority on the 15th, it’d still take some time for the mail to come.
Jaden + trapeze- I would prefer mail than an e-mail, it just feels more personal to me… but yeah I agree, this snail mail thing really sucks if you’re waiting and hoping. Next week most other ED’ers will be finding out their results; it’s hard to watch friends find out about their colleges while you’re still waiting…
justwanttogetin1- it’s funny, my mom was convinced i was sick, too-- went for a check-up on friday. anyway, I hope you’re healthy!</p>
<p>I definitely agree with Shay that mail is more fun than an email. I feel like just looking at an answer on a computer screen is kinda anticlimactic.</p>
<p>I agree it is much more personal as a letter and I was glad when I found out that that was how they did it over the summer, but right now it’s just the waiting that sucks.</p>
<p>Does anyone else find it kind of strange that Barnard never sent us an email (after the automated tracking one) saying something like you will recieve a letter with our decision in mid december? After all, if it weren’t for college confidential how else would we know that the notification was a letter and not an email? Did they say in the info session? I don’t even remember…</p>
<p>a little late getting into this conversation today girls due to the fact I was in the city and then worked all day, which totally did not help take my mind off of this! I slept in the city last night, and it just made me wanna go here more and more! So to spare myself, like those of you who want to buy the new shoes, I just went out and actually bought new shoes… haha. A new pair of high heeled boots, and I don’t even care that I am 5’9 1/2! Going into the city again on tuesday, all this being even closer to Barnard makes me soooo anxious!</p>
<p>@jaden, yea i think it is totally weird that they didn’t say anything, especially since some of the other schools I applied to sent me 100 emails and let me check EVERYTHING on line…</p>
