Official Barnard Early Decision 2014

<p>I’m already done studying for my AP Calc test, my term project for legal issues is done, and I can’t reread Hamlet for a third time, that would be silly…</p>

<p>so.</p>

<p>this is going to be the longest night of my life. I keep going back and forth between this site, Barnard’s website, and facebook. I can’t fall asleep.</p>

<p>panic attack!
(Random, because I only seem to remember Vermont, Maryland, and Minnesota… Is there anyone here from Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Washington, California, etc?)</p>

<p>dainty: I’m from Cincinnati</p>

<p>gloria: same here, except I should be studying for a Bio test…but honestly when I’m about to find out if I get into THE college of my dreams that I’ve wanted to go to for the last seven-ish years, who cares about genes and proteins?</p>

<p>There are a few people from Ohio, and one from California . . . Also saw a Mass., I think, and a New Jersey.</p>

<p>and i’m from connecticut!
i just like yelled at my dad to tell him not to check the mail tomorrow before i do hahaha</p>

<p>Haha, piccolostella, I’ve been doing that all week and my mom just looks at me and shakes her head. “You’re jinxing it,” she says. And then my stomach flips, even though I know they have made the decisions.</p>

<p>I just really want to get in. It’s desperate, and that’s unfortunate. My friends told me not to fall in love with a school, but how can you help it?</p>

<p>I’m from Mass! haha
And, I think I’m doing the same unit as you in bio, plumhill!
Hopefully, I will be the first one to get my mail tomorrow… but I can’t even imagine how I will feel if I don’t see an envelope from Barnard in my mailbox. Devastation? So much worse…</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>Me too, plumhill, me too. :frowning:
I have too many happy acceptance images to face the reality of a rejection or deferral.
And I question everyday why I let myself fall in love…</p>

<p>I dreamed about an acceptance last night, and that’s when I knew I was over the top. I never dream.</p>

<p>And I can’t prepare myself for a rejection, because that’s telling myself I’m not worthy, but I feel so strongly that I am, that I can bring to the Class of 2014 so much. </p>

<p>I want to cry a little, actually.</p>

<p>hahaha i always imagine myself putting it as my status on facebook hahaha it is so sad. but i know what you guys mean, i have all the perfect things planned out for if i get accepted…but i’m now trying to assume i won’t be</p>

<p>Let yourself cry because it will help a little! Crying is often over the top, but sometimes it really just does help you release.
(And then know that just from your posts alone, I think you would make a great addition to the class of 2014 and I would be very honored to call you my classmate if I got into Barnard.)</p>

<p>I’ve dreamed about acceptances for the last couple nights…idk, maybe it’s a sign? I’m not usually into supernatural stuff but I don’t really know what to think anymore!</p>

<p>I think we all could bring a little something to the class of 2014, but I guess its up to the admission counselor-gods to decide what “something” they want to make up the class.</p>

<p>admission counselor goddesses ;-)</p>

<p>On a sentimental note, thanks to all of you for making this so much easier than it would be if I was alone. Very few of my friends understand what tugs me toward a women’s school and so the process has been difficult in itself, and it will be more difficult if I am not accepted and all of the hype that I’ve gone through about why women’s schools are good will have been for naught. </p>

<p>Thanks for making me laugh and hope and stay down-to-earth. </p>

<p>Whatever happens over these next few days, I can tell you’re all brilliant women, and wherever you end up you’ll be the strongest of them all.</p>

<p>I think I’m off to try and sleep. Good luck getting through tomorrow, all, and I look forward to seeing how things unfold.</p>

<p>haha yeah, i stand corrected :)</p>

<p>i can relate to you gloriachristmas!
ughhhh i keep looking back at forth at everything that has to do wtih barnard.</p>

<p>oh and the 40%…as i said… i heard it by ear
and it’s not a credible source
so i was a bit iffy when he said that to me; it was just a friend
so please don’t panic…
oy i shouldn’t have even written it
i’m sorry to those who panicked after looking at thattttttt!</p>

<p>oh, i cried too…
like not full out crying but i teared a bit…only cause after i started to talk to my mom about acceptances i began to feel this big overwhelming feeling and then i just…broke down. i was so worried.
my mom on the other hand kept saying that it’s going to be alright and that i will get in…except that made me feel more skeptical;;</p>

<p>GUYS REMEMBER THAT MOST OF THE LETTERS WILL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY. Just a reminder. If you don’t get your letter tomorrow, DO NOT PANIC. Of course, I would love for it to be tomorrow, but I’m trying to be pessimistic right now, so if everything goes wrong I’ll be less disappointed, and if everything turns out right, it’ll knock my socks off. So right now I’m telling myself that there’s a big chance I might be deferred/rejected on Tuesday.</p>

<p>im from california and i am coming home from school early tomorrow to check the mail, even though im sure it wont be there. why doesnt mail come on sundays?!
and piccolostella, i too dream (and maybe have written and deleted once or twice) of making my facebook status barnard 2014 and joining the facebook group
anyway, good luck to you all!</p>

<p>Okay, so I can’t fall asleep.</p>

<p>Now, Kiwi, I’m wondering why you say that they may arrive on Tuesday??? Aren’t the letters mailed Express, which is “guaranteed overnight”? So shouldn’t that mean they will arrive tomorrow at the latest?</p>
