Girls applying to Barnard RD! :)

<p>since there’s an ED thread I thought regular decision should have one too! how are everyone’s apps? barnard is the best!</p>

<p>Me me me! Except I haven’t started the app yet…</p>

<p>haha don’t worry I haven’t either! I’ve looked at the supplement questions but haven’t done them yet. Is it your first choice?</p>

<p>I’m not sure, I’ve only recently become interested in it. I like it a lot but I haven’t taken a tour yet. I’m planning to go on one in December though :slight_smile: How about you?</p>

<p>here i come!!</p>

<p>Me too :D. I’m done with the supplements except for the second half of the question about the woman in history or lit / what would you talk about. Agh!</p>

<p>It’s one of my first choices! I haven’t taken a tour yet either but I hope to later this year! What’s really annoying is that I went to nyc this summer but only visited NYU and Columbia…I just didn’t know about Barnard yet but now that I do, it sounds perfect! I really want to visit. So what subject tests did everyone take? (I still haven’t taken any!! they don’t care which ones we take right?) and I read somewhere that we need 3 recommendations but I thought 2 was okay…ahh I’m so nervous I really want to get in!!</p>

<p>I had kind of the same situation! I thought Barnard was strictly a woman’s college and had only been looking at Columbia. Then my friend told me there’s a lot of interaction with Columbia so I became really interested in Barnard :P. </p>

<p>I took the Italian, US History, and Literature subject tests. I think you only need 2 rec letters but I have 3 anyway so I’m just going to send them all in.</p>

<p>We only need two teacher recs (thank god, you really scared me haha I had to check!). I took Lit, USH, and MathII but I did terribly on math, so I won’t be sending that one!</p>

<p>I’m applying there too! :slight_smile:
Though my gpa/scores are a bit on the low end of the stick, hoping to up my act/sat this december… >_<;</p>

<p>Do we need 2 SAT IIs or 3? I thought it was 2 and only took math and language…
I didn’t even start on my application for Barnard yet neither did I start on common app/personal essay…</p>

<p>I asked my physics teacher for rec but she rejected me saying she had too many recs to write, sigh… I don’t know who else to ask :frowning: I already got one from Art.</p>

<p>So screwed.</p>

<p>RDer here! Barnard has been at the top of my list for quite some time now.</p>

<p>I have been looking at the questions and thinking them over. They may be different because I am a transfer student. have any of you started the supplement?</p>

<p>haha good I’m glad we only need 2, thanks and sorry I scared you!! yes we only need 2 subject tests but you can take 3 in one sitting so some people do that and send their best 2 scores :)</p>

<p>@jcdancer- same! All I knew about it was that it was a women’s college so I didn’t even consider it but after looking into it, it seems amazing. </p>

<p>@eternaltorture- my grades/sat’s are a little on the low side too but I’m HOPING and PRAYING I’ll get in!!!</p>

<p>I’ve only looked at the supplement, but haven’t started it! I hope to have everything done by Thanksgiving though! :slight_smile: I hope we all get in!!</p>

<p>Applyign regular decision too!!</p>

<p>Im an international student from Moroco, and is it just me, or do the supps just scare people away. I’ve finished up most of my app including the essay, but I haven’t started the supps yet because they freaked me out!!
I dont have such a great GPA but hopefully my diversity will get me through.</p>

<p>Im taking french and english lit. I heard lit was hard… have any of you guys taken it?</p>

<p>ya they do scare me! haha but i guess we have to do them eventually! i just need to sit down and get them done!</p>

<p>I found the English Lit. subject test to be more enjoyable than the Critical Reading section of the SAT, although I did get the exact same score on both.</p>

<p>Hey everyone! I’m applying RD and Barnard is definately my first choice! </p>

<p>Can I ask where you all are from? I’m from Ohio, and no one here knows what Barnard is when I mention it.</p>

<p>@lorrainedelis, </p>

<p>haha good to know :smiley: I’m actually re-taking/taking sat iis in January for the schools that accept later score repots (feb 15-mar) :slight_smile:
If my October ACT (score coming out today!) is better than I hoped, I’m going to change December SAT to SAT IIs since my SAT IIs are kind of crap :/</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK TO US BOTH!</p>

<p>@theatregirl24, </p>

<p>I’m actually from NYC lol … Living 15-25 blocks from Columbia University and Barnard College lol</p>

<hr>

<p>I looked at the Barnard supplement just now… And I just can’t believe we have to write that many essays for it… I’m not a strong writer. :frowning: But… If it’s for Barnard, I guess I’ll try.</p>

<p>theatregirl24, I’m from the great state of Texas. :)</p>

<p>@eternaltorture…you know if you send your ACT score you don’t need sat IIs right? maybe you have to take them anyway but I wanted to tell you just in case!</p>

<p>you live in nyc!! awesome! haha sorry I bet you hear that a lot but seriously its the best place in the world. you’re so lucky!! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Same here, but hopefully I can convey how much I want to go there through my supplement! I’m only making each a short paragraph though so I doubt it will take that long once I figure out what I’m going to write.</p>

<p>@theatregirl I’m from Texas :slight_smile: no one knows what Barnard is here either but I kind of like that haha…@eternaltorture-its well known in nyc right? I’m surprised I didn’t hear about it more…it seems perfect! </p>

<p>That would be so fun if we all got in!! What does everyone want to major in? (and if you don’t know thats fine, I don’t! I think at Barnard you decide sophomore yr anyway though) omg I want to go so so bad!</p>
