Official Barnard 2012 Transfer Thread

<p>Ah ok
Will email admissions Monday :)</p>

<p>Huh. Just informed by Jessica Lee that I’ve been missing documents all this time – and that, as a result, my application couldn’t even be considered for admission. How I got wait-listed at all is mysterious to me. Oughtn’t I have been informed of an incomplete application straightaway…??</p>

<p>Anyway, seeing as Barnard’s the only school I applied to, and I’ve just finished up at a two-year school, I’m pretty much backed into a corner here. Not giving up just yet, though… going to be applying again come Spring. Hopefully, this really <em>was</em> all some bureaucratic fluke, and nothing more.</p>

<p>Again, congratulations to all you Barnardians-to-be! Really hope to join you guys sometime soon.</p>

<p>@whyamisoclever how odd!! we hope to see you in Spring! good luck!!</p>

<p>Thanks, Lili! And yes, isn’t it? I haven’t quite figured it out, but I intend to. Weird, man.</p>

<p>@Lillisophia: yeah i’ll be an entering junior!
@whyamisoclever: Good luck on spring! I had that same problem with document tracking. Up til I got admitted, the page never even showed that my college transcripts were received. I emailed Jessica and she told me that my app was complete. </p>

<p>I’ve tried to access Barnard Student Computing but it again shows that my information s incorrect… Does anyone else have this issue?</p>

<p>Okay I just called student computing and the lady said that I have to receive ANOTHER email that says I can access my account. Just have to wait</p>

<p>Just got accepted to Barnard for Fall '12!! And, apparently, my application was only processed this morning. Too thrilled to make sense of it all… but, hey, I shan’t complain.</p>

<p>@whyamisoclever what an interesting (and amazing) turn of events!!!</p>

<p>anyone else get off wl? too anxious…</p>

<p>You’ll hear soon either way ! Fingers crossed for those still waiting to hear!</p>

<p>Just wondering - when and how did you you guys receive notification of your financial aid status? E-mail, e-portal, post…? With the official ‘admission package?’</p>

<p>anyone else get off the wait list?</p>

<p>I’m still waiting…</p>

<p>Aren’t they supposed to notify you of a decision (yes or no) by June 15th?!</p>

<p>You really ought to give them a call tomorrow</p>

<p>Jess sent me an email on June 14, asking me if I would like to wait until the end of June.</p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

<p>Has anyone heard back about housing? I got an email from the financial aid office telling me that the housing department is “unable to confirm” that I’ll get housing, and then they gave me a new (and somehow worse) financial aid package.</p>

<p>I’m a little annoyed because I called housing a couple of months ago expressing concern for the limited space they have for transfers, and they told me “don’t sweat it” and that they’ve had few problems accommodating transfers in the past.
I live in Georgia. If they can’t even give me some sort of rat’s nest in which to sleep, I don’t think I can go to Barnard.</p>

<p>Have you considered living off-campus? If you share with a roommate, you can easily save thousands of dollars compared to the housing Barnard offers.</p>

<p>I spoke with the housing department, and it’s not looking too good for transfers. I’m probably going to wind up sharing an apartment in the Morningside Heights area.</p>

<p>Do you think housing would be available for transfers in the spring?</p>
