<p>Where else are you applying? </p>
<p>some college representative said that my list of colleges looked identical to most people who apply to Barnard. Just wondering if it’s true!</p>
<p>UCLA, Cal, NYU, Yale (my uber-reach), Boston College, and maybe Bryn Mawr. </p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>D, who is a senior, also applied to NYU, Fordham, Brown, Bard, Vassar, Smith and Mt. Holyoke. Binghamton was financial and academic safety.</p>
<p>Oops. Forgot Sarah Lawrence.</p>
<p>Oh, also Vassar.</p>
<p>Columbia (I love Morningside Heights!), NYU, UChicago, Yale, Brown, Fordham, etc.</p>
<p>Hopefully I won't have to submit any of those apps!</p>
<p>Kenyon, Yale, UChicago, Haverford, Vassar, Conn. College, etc.</p>
<p>A lot of people seem to be applying to Fordham. I don't know much about it. What's the pull?</p>
<p>It's location in NYC (though not Manhattan) was the pull for me. I'm not sure I'd actually go (mainly because of its religious affiliation), but it's a solid safety...</p>
<p>Fordham does have a residential campus in Manhattan, right? </p>
<p>Though it's been four years ago now, when my daughter applied to Barnard she had also applied to Columbia, U Michigan and UGA (safety).</p>
<p>Yes, Fordham does have a Manhattan campus and the education does not reflect that it has a religious affiliation. It is a fine school with a prestigious Law School.</p>
<p>It's Manhattan location is at Lincoln Center. Pretty nice.</p>
<p>My D had it as a safety if she could not give up her dream of NYC. Both campuses are nice, the Bronx one lovely. It's a good alternative for the student rejected by NYC and Columbia/Barnard.</p>
<p>If not Barnard ED, then:</p>
<p>(here goes...)</p>
<p>Smith (ED II)</p>
<p>Bard
Bryn Mawr
Conn College
Mt. Holyoke
Trinity (CT)
Wellesley
Wheaton (MA)</p>
<p>and either Clark or Hampshire. Haven't decided yet.</p>
<p>I really like the small liberal arts environment. None of these are in any big city like Barnard is, but in other ways have some similarities (size, liberal arts, east coast, some are part of seven sisters, etc.)</p>
<p>I'm not sending out any other apps until I hear back from Barnard...</p>
<p>but probably:
NYU
Brandeis
Rutgers
Queens</p>
<p>If not Barnard...</p>
<p>NYU
Bryn Mawr
Occidental
USC
Boston U</p>
<p>NYU, GWU, U Maryland, Millersville, Temple, Boston, and Hofstra</p>
<p>For now...those are the ones that I HAVE to apply to. We'll see about others.</p>
<p>Ugh..
Harvard
Cornell
Georgetown
Hamilton
Colgate
USC (southern calif. as opposed to south carolina)
Fordham
NYU
Wesleyan
Wellesley
Columbia</p>
<p>and I think that's about it but I'm sure I'm forgetting something...</p>
<p>Oh! and the New School</p>
<p>Oh yeah, my USC was Southern California, too.
Not South Carolina.</p>
<p>Go trojans! like everyone in my family went to SC. so it's kinda like a right of passage to apply. I don't even want to go there. Too bratty, too catty etc.</p>
<p>Yeah, no appeal, but my Mother wants me to apply there.
I really don't know why.</p>
<p>University of Spoiled Children.
Haha</p>
<p>USC is a very large university. Not comparable to the LACs. Urban campus. Bot exactly the most beckoning but has excellent schools.....</p>
