Official Barnard 2012 Transfer Thread

<p>Those are both amazing schools! Keep us updated :slight_smile: best of luck!</p>

<p>Hi girls. I just wonder if nobody receives rejection till now. I still haven’t heard back from Barnard now…I’m worrying if that means I’m rejected…</p>

<p>@lilli and @justina - im remaining on the waitlist but i paid m deposit to emory today !! so justina let me know if you end up going there !!! </p>

<p>@lilli - did you apply to any other schools ?</p>

<p>@cbbtrans only Barnard!</p>

<p>we’re supposed to hear back about housing late july/early august but barnard is really good about providing housing so i wouldn’t worry too much. we get housed in a dorm just for transfer students (elliott hall). i’m super excited!!!</p>

<p>I am worried to death rite now. Lucky you guys live in the States. I am a international students from China and transfer from Lehigh. Really hope to get in tho!!! Anxious.</p>

<p>Hey all, I had to turn down Barnard today, so hope that opens up a spot for one of you!</p>

<p>@aynrand3399 sad to hear, where are you going instead (if you don’t mind me asking)</p>

<p>Hey all!
I’ve just created a Facebook page for us Fall 2012 transfers!
Since we are bound to run into each other at Barnard, why not get to know each other now?
Please ā€œlikeā€ the page, and post an intro of yourself! If you happen to know anyone else who is transferring to Barnard, invite them to do so too!

<p>I just submitted my intent to attend Barnard as well as my $400 deposit today! :slight_smile: I don’t know if y’all got an e-mail but the deadline is 2 weeks from the date on your acceptance letter. Mine was sent on May 11th so May 25th is my deadline.</p>

<p>So excited to meet you all! Feel free to ā€œlikeā€ the page even if you are currently waitlisted, not attending, etc.</p>

<p>So it turns out I’m going to Barnard after all. Submitting my deposit as soon as I get my financial situation figured out…</p>

<p>that’s great news justina11. are you a sophomore or junior transfer? Have you decided on a major yet? </p>

<p>13haashopeful: I’m super excited about attending barnard too.I just liked your page!</p>

<p>Sophomore transfer. I put down psychology for the hell of it (I thought it would be foolish to enter ā€œundecidedā€ on my application), but I’ve also considered majoring in film studies and biology… I’m going to have a really hard time deciding.
How about you?</p>

<p>@barnardbarnard: i just sent you a friend request! ^_^ i read some of your old comments and it seems like youve been trying to get into barnard for a while now- congratulations on finally getting into the school of your dreams!</p>

<p>@justina: yay for deciding on barnard! i hope they give you a decent financial aid package. i think people have until the end of sophomore year to decide on their majors</p>

<p>Please like the page and post an intro if you can, everyone!

<p>My financial aid package isn’t great, but I’m getting help from relatives who have nothing better to do with their money.</p>

<p>I’m kind of freaking out about housing. Does Barnard have a history of denying housing to people who live really far from New York (but aren’t international)?</p>

<p>Hmm, I’m sure that you will make it through somehow! Maybe a job, loans, scholarship?
I don’t think Barnard will deny housing to people based on how far they live- that wouldn’t be very fair. Most likely it will be on first come first serve basis.</p>

<p>They actually do consider distance. People who live in New York are far more likely to be denied housing.</p>

<p>justina11: I’m a junior transfer. I put down my major as Russian but I’m also thinking of mathematics and economics as a major. I’ll probably be able to do either but definitely won’t have time to do a double major. </p>

<p>Does anyone know if we can major in something different from what we mentioned?</p>

<p>Also, i think they do take into consideration where you stay. I’m an international student transferring from a NY community college just outside of NYC so i’m worried if they’ll think it’s considered ā€œliving in NYā€ and deny me housing.Although I doubt it’s dependent specific miles. Anyone who doesn’t live in NYC or its surrounding suburbs would be deemed as having problems with housing. Whether you live in California or Pennsylvania seems beside the point to me.</p>

<p>13haashopeful: yeah. I’m so surprised and happy myself! I applied for Barnard as a sophomore transfer as well but didn’t get in. Are you a sophomore or junior transfer?</p>

<p>Wow. I knew housing was limited but i didnt think it would be that limited. Have you called thwm to make sure? If you dont mind me asking, where do you live? I live in northern California.</p>

<p>Hey xingjie(?)! :slight_smile: Im a junior transfer from a cc in california and my major is economics. Im majoring in business at my cc but barnard doesnt offer business. Its cool that youre a russian major! Im a german minor but im thinking about double majoring</p>

<p>housing is gonna be fine guys. i emailed the head of housing for transfers and he says they are almost always successful. there’s a whole building set up for transfers called elliott hall</p>
