Narrowing in on The List

Thanks. Now the nervous waiting. But there are other great RD options so I’m sure she’ll be okay.

Barnard is very fond of ballet dancers. Over the years I’ve seen students who have strong pre-professional dance resumes get in, even RD, when their other stats were comparatively weak. Plus my sense is that Barnard seems to like students with international living experiences — so living in Japan is probably another plus factor. And your daughter clearly has the strength of academics they want. So of course, no guarantees, but I think your d’s chances ED at Barnard are very strong.

So no guarantees, of course - but I don’t think you have to be all that nervous.

I appreciate the encouragment. She has thought about this a lot and loved the school when we visited. I think she has found a great match for her. But that doesn’t mean my anxiety has abated. Probably should blame Starbucks for that today.

It sounds like a perfect fit for her – but she is going to have good options in any case.

She was just accepted into the Barnard calss of '23! We’re over the moon!

Whooo hooo! Congrats!

Wonderful, congrats @ReelLife !!

Thanks for all the support and advice. College Confidential has been definitely part of the team!

Wonderful news!!! I was thinking about you the other day, and I so appreciate you coming back and sharing the news. This is a college my D was very interested in last year and it seems like a great fit for your D based on what you shared. I’m thrilled for her!! Congrats!!!

Congratulations!!! Barnard does sound like a great fit for her.
