<p>is barnard a huge reach???..please reply honestly…i really mean it because i need to know the reality of the situation…help…i need to know!!!</p>
<p>No, Barnard is not a huge "reach" -- your stats are fine for Barnard. Barnard is, however, very selective these days, meaning that they turn away 3 qualified applicants for every one they accept. So in a sense it is a "reach" for everyone. So the best advice we can give is that you should apply and see what happens. </p>
<p>If you are absolutely, positively sure that Barnard is your #1 choice AND financial aid is not an issue for you, then of course you should apply ED.</p>
<p>and, bamagal, as a resident of ga and a native "bamagal" myself, I would love to see you at Barnard with my d! You might want to pick out the most meaningful of those extracurriculars to focus upon in the "meat" of your application. Don't leave the others out...just focus on the one or two that have had the most impact on your life or that you have been in the longest, etc.</p>
