<p>The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.- Sven Goran Eriksson </p>
<p>It’s really hard, but try to have faith. There’s the possibility of rejection—but there’s the equal possibility of acceptance!!</p>
<p>The more utterly amazing people get deferred or rejected, or my friends get into their ED schools, the more my anxiety about Barnard seems to increase (if it’s even possible to be MORE on edge than I am now).</p>
<p>I used to feel just a bit confident about my application, interview, etc. but that feeling has sort of melted away, and at the moment I have NO earthly idea which way this could all go.</p>
<p>@ethereality4: even if you try to convince yourself you wont get in, you know in your heart that you don’t really believe that. And no matter who you are, if your dreams get crushed, it sucks, period.</p>
<p>At least we have each other <em>cue dramatic music</em></p>
<p>Seriously though, it’s nice to have other people to freak out with about this. </p>
<p>Is there an emoticon for freaking out?</p>
<p>\o/ ASDFGHJKL;';LKJHG!!! /o
…?</p>
<p>livlindsa- aww, thanks for the comfort.</p>
<p>I’m in no position to say this, but don’t lose hope you guys.
Jaden- heh. It’s a product of my stress. Must. Make. Organized. Lists!</p>
<p>i dont know an emoticon, but i know this SFJKSLJFKSJDLKSAHLSJA:LFKS:LF"JS:L</p>
<p>haha. It is nice that we are not alone, as I’m pretty sure my friends are all sick of my Barnard-freak-out mode by now.</p>
<p>HEART ATTACK. sending them out tonight!??! freaking out. hyperventilation. the whole nine yards here.
btw. does anyone know Barnard’s early decision acceptance rate? im curious</p>
<p>hahaha ok.
!#$@W%DGFHUT&^% = freaking out. Sounds good.In that case, !#$@W%DGFHUT&^%!!!</p>
<p>Yes I have no real life people to freak out with 
they have all heard already or are applying RD and therefore do not wish to think of college for at least 4 more months.</p>
<p>i didnt tell very many people i was applying to barnard. i didnt want to have to sit and explain to everyone single person i know that i was rejected…</p>
<p>I feel like smushing this and the other ED thread together</p>
<p>Yeah, I just told people who asked.</p>
<p>Ethereality4- Haha, yeah, I just periodically refresh the main forum and see which thread lights up.</p>
<p>@Jaden239 Will do… A lot of people at my school are hearing back from their schools and its making me super nervous…</p>
<p>sorry for starting that other thread y’all. haha</p>
<p>Yeah, would it be possible to merge the two?</p>
<p>Any mods/administrators on this forum? Haha, it doesn’t really seem like it.</p>
<p>alkdjsaldkj I just want to sleep so this time will go by faster but I have so much work to do and then I get distracted by the interwebz.</p>
<p>I think I’m becoming addicted to this forum.</p>
<p>the acceptance rate from last yr for ed was around 48% i believe.</p>
<p>i AM addicted to this forum haha</p>

<p>Hi Everyone!</p>
<p>I’ve been stalking this thread for a while now, and reading all of your freak outs makes me really want to introduce myself :O)</p>
<p>I feel EXACTLY the same way…seriously, reading this thread has put my mania into perspective. I live just outside of Manhattan, and I spend as much time as I can just exploring the city. Being able to live there would be amazing. I fell in love with Barnard the minute I set foot on campus and now ALL of my attention is being spent on hyperventilation (AHHHHHHHHH and increasingly so) </p>
<p>I just can’t believe it’s real! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE</p>
