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 havenā€™t heard back from Barnard nowā€¦Iā€™m worrying if that means Iā€™m rejectedā€¦</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>weā€™re supposed to hear back about housing late july/early august but barnard is really good about providing housing so i wouldnā€™t worry too much. we get housed in a dorm just for transfer students (elliott hall). iā€™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 donā€™t mind me asking)</p>

<p>Hey all!
Iā€™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 donā€™t know if yā€™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 Iā€™m going to Barnard after all. Submitting my deposit as soon as I get my financial situation figured outā€¦</p>

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

<p>13haashopeful: Iā€™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 Iā€™ve also considered majoring in film studies and biologyā€¦ Iā€™m going to have a really hard time deciding.
How about you?</p>

<p>@barnardbarnard: i just sent you a friend request!怀ļ¼¾ļ¼æļ¼¾ć€€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 isnā€™t great, but Iā€™m getting help from relatives who have nothing better to do with their money.</p>

<p>Iā€™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 arenā€™t international)?</p>

<p>Hmm, Iā€™m sure that you will make it through somehow! Maybe a job, loans, scholarship?
I donā€™t think Barnard will deny housing to people based on how far they live- that wouldnā€™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: Iā€™m a junior transfer. I put down my major as Russian but Iā€™m also thinking of mathematics and economics as a major. Iā€™ll probably be able to do either but definitely wonā€™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. Iā€™m an international student transferring from a NY community college just outside of NYC so iā€™m worried if theyā€™ll think itā€™s considered ā€œliving in NYā€ and deny me housing.Although I doubt itā€™s dependent specific miles. Anyone who doesnā€™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. Iā€™m so surprised and happy myself! I applied for Barnard as a sophomore transfer as well but didnā€™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. thereā€™s a whole building set up for transfers called elliott hall</p>
