<p>Rejected. International student who needs a lot of FA.</p>
<p>Congratulations @Skvorcova ! Did you get any FA?</p>
<p>I received the email on the 13th, so I have no idea why I didn’t receive my email today.</p>
<p>Accepted :3</p>
<p>@keya93 thanks!!!
I’m sorry to hear that, but as far as I know you have already received a big FA package in another college???sorry I’m forgetting things right now still can’t believe in my acceptance…
the FA will be known soon, I haven’t checked yet the portal;P</p>
<p>You guys are wasting your time to share your initials. Sharing info about your email service providers will make a lot more sense. Once Barnard “sends” the email the delivery process shifts to whatever company you use for email.</p>
<p>International student here, and I didn’t receive the e-mail from Barnard either! Sigh. Shall have to wait for another 6 hours and then make an expensive call to find out!! <em>nerve-wrecked</em></p>
<p>Just called them up! Rejected! 
All the best to everyone else still waiting! :)</p>
<p>Just called them up. Accepted!</p>
<p>Was the results thread ever made?</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS AVALDE4!!!

<p><a href=“Barnard Class of 2017 | Facebook”>Barnard Class of 2017 | Facebook;
<p>Is anyone else’s call still not going through? I’ve called a few times but it just goes to voicemail. I guess I’ll try again in an hour or two. Congrats to those accepted and good luck to those who are still waiting!</p>
<p>Finally got through! I got accepted!!</p>
<p>Accepted!!!</p>
<p>Accepted :D…yet now I am super nervous about whether or not I will be successful at Barnard considering the fact that the women who attend the institution are brilliant…I am quite apprehensive about being able to compete or simply keep up with my courses/grades.</p>
<p>CollegeQN: Congrats to you and to all the other brilliant young women on here. </p>
<p>PLEASE do not stress over whether or not you will be “successful at Barnard…”. Just go on doing what you have done to get to this place! Enjoy the rest of your Senior year and then look forward to the adventure that awaits. You will work hard, yes, but you will love doing it. I promise! </p>
<p>Best to you all!!</p>
<p>For my first and probably last post . . . I’m a dad of a daughter who will be attending Barnard next year, and she would probably not be thrilled by me being on this board. But, to CollegeQN (and anyone else feeling insecure), Barnard wouldn’t have let you in if they didn’t have full confidence that you would succeed. We visited Barnard twice, and on the second tour, they had a panel of administrators . . . and they couldn’t have been more impressive AND caring. You will be in a situation with great support, and massive resources, in the greatest city there is. CONGRATS!</p>
<p>I do not mean to cause a mini riot here because I do love Barnard, and I do still wish to go there someday, I just need to vent in the hope that someone identifies with me, and if not, then oh well. I applied ED and was deferred. In the hopes of making myself more appealing to Barnard I got three additional reccomendations, one from my principal, one from my yearbook advisor (I am Editor in Chief of my senior yearbook), and one from my AP English teacher, who is Barnard allum. Additionally, I wrote a long letter to admissions explaining why I want to go to Barnard and what I would add to the school. Just a little background: My GPA is a 96 (not weighted) and my SATs are a 2010 (I know a little low for Barnard). However, my extracurriculars, essays, recs, were all great and I am an excellent writer. I took 6 APs ( got 4s and 5s )and all honors classes to show that I pushed myself. In the end I was rejected, which I am heartbroken about but I know that each year it is becoming more and more competitive. This is not what bothers me though. From my school, two girls were accepted who, have both a lower GPA and SAT score. I realize it is a holistic process. However, they also did not challenge themselves as much ( did or do as many EC’s. Little fun fact: they both happen to have legacy. I could be totally wrong here, but out of all the girls who got in from my school, each who got in had legacy or was over qualified for Barnard. Even a girl who got waitlisted had lower scores and GPA and did not take as many challenging courses. I am starting to feel as if the process is not based on merit, and I suppose this is how the real world works. If you feel I am out of line, then I apologize, I just wanted to know if I am the only one in this situation. I do love Barnard despite my frustration and I do plan on re-applying in the future.</p>
<p>NDW226, it sounds like you did all you could do and I hope that you can find some consolation in that. The fact is, though, that you just should not even go down the road that leads to comparing your qualifications with what you think are those of other students. I do get the frustration…truly I do. But you really have nothing to gain from that path. Perhaps those other girls gained something from their legacy status, but it’s my understanding that legacy is only used if two students are equally qualified…not to admit a lesser qualified applicant. You do not know what was in the essays of those other girls, or what was in their recommendations. Obviously, Barnard’s admissions committee felt those girls were a better fit and/or better filled some sort of “niche” in the class they were building.</p>
<p>I am sure you have amazing options open to you. And, as you said, you can always transfer later… I just hope for your sake that you can let go of the urge to compare yourself to others…</p>
<p>Waitlisted, but I want it so badly that i’m going to WORK for it</p>
<p>do it collegenat2013!!! MHT daughter was wait listed and she hung on, and kept working it till she got accepted…so its possible! good luck with any choice you make</p>
<p>Any advice to someone trying to get off the Barnard wait list? Did your daughter send more info or materials?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
