<p>Just accepted. They have to assign soon! I have to send things. !</p>
<p>They said hopefully by the end of this week</p>
<p>All right where is my housing assignment</p>
<p>Seriously ! I want to know where I’m living !!</p>
<p>I thought you got your housing assignment? Did Reslife just send you an email saying you got a single?</p>
<p>They just said they could guarantee me a single
In plimpton. I wasnt going to live in a doubled single, and I applied for special housing</p>
<p>Oh, wow. How did you apply for “special housing”?</p>
<p>You have to do a bunch of official paperwork. I did it months ago</p>
<p>where’s everyone living?</p>
<p>Second floor of Plimpton</p>
<p>I’m on the 6th :)</p>
<p>Cool, cool. I guess I’ll see you there</p>
<p>Huh. I’ll be entering as a junior, but was assigned to Brooks. Welp, the Quad it is for me!</p>
<p>Maaaaan I really wanted a dorm in the Quad or Elliott</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m glad I’m on campus myself. Still, console yourself with the thought of a building consisting of ~90% fresh(wo)men.</p>
<p>there are pros and cons to all the buildings! just happy to get housing :)</p>
<p>Yeah, likewise.</p>
<p>Welcome to Barnard, guys!</p>
<p>I’m the editor-in-chief of The Nine Ways of Knowing, which is a student-run Barnard interest and opinion blog. It so happens that a good portion of our staff is actually made up of transfers, so as far as orientation (NSOP) and your time here at Barnard will go, we’ve been through it before.</p>
<p>There’s no doubt your experience at NSOP will be a little different than the first-years, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Here’s what you can expect, and how to get the most out of NSOP as a transfer.</p>

<p>If you guys have any questions or anything, feel free to ask through email or a PM on college confidential.</p>
<p>Good luck on your first day, everyone!!

<p>Congrats to all of you girls for acceptance into Barnard!
I would love to hear how your fall semester is going, as I plan on applying for transfer enrollment this spring. : )</p>
<p>I hate to do this on here. I am a sophomore at GW.</p>
<p>It is really difficult to know where I stand in chances regarding transfer admissions at my schools of interest. I have been a research intern at the National Institutes of Health for the past year and a half…an intern at Rutgers medical school for the past two years…as well as strong in my very courses…I’ve been taking half my courses at Georgetown because I hate the academics and environment at GW THAT much. I am hoping to get professor recommendations from a very close professor in the psych dept., as well as the chair of psych. dept at GU. Additionally, my principal investigator in the lab (very reputable) is willing to write a recommendation. But, I feel like something very significant is lacking within my life: academic and social camaraderie. </p>
<p>I took a gap semester my freshman year where I volunteered in Nepal.
My hs GPA was 3.8 (IB/AP), three sport varsity athlete, numerous EC involvement, and international exchange studies abroad. My SATs were pretty solid 1700, but definitely under the average for the mean of applicants accepted. </p>
<p>In college, I am apart of the pre-med fraternity, Best Buddies, DC Reads, and Triathlon Team. My college GPA is a 3.65. I bombed chemistry last year but I do not intend to pursue sciences at the moment…which is why I am looking towards smaller liberal arts schools for transfer. I’ve done summer classes at Johns Hopkins (last summer) and Tufts University (the summer of 2011), and earned A+'s. I’ve volunteered at DC Soup Kitchens and shadowed a few Johns Hopkins physicians while I was participating in a biomedical research program there last summer. I am afraid they will see my C- in chemistry and that will ruin my chances.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are? I intend to apply to Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Wellesley and Sarah Lawrence. I would love to hear any opinions you have and advice regarding my pursuits. Are these out of my range?</p>
<p>What would you do if you were in my boat?</p>
<p>Thanks to all in advanced. :)</p>
<p>Hope your semesters are going smoothly! What is it like so far?</p>
