<p>Barnard is its own school, and dont apply as a “backdoor” to Columbia, but from what I’ve heard, theyre pretty connected…theyre literally across the street from each other, Barnard students can take Columbia classes, go to their gym, join their sororities, eat in their caf. A friend of mine who got in is on the columbia facebook network! But you have to appreciate Barnard for what it is, and for the strong, beautiful women there.</p>
