<p>Congratulations to all that applied, because the application in itself was tough. You are all amazing!</p>
<p>Hi everyone I am completely new to this and it really sucks that i just found it but better late than never. So my name is Jannelle, I am from Miami, FL and I received my acceptance letter/package (Regular Decision) in the mail yesterday! I was ecstatic, the thought of attending Barnard is thrilling but unfortunately it seems my dream maybe cut short because of what the school expects my parents to contribute.:((…i was wondering if those of you who were accepted could please fill me in a little bit on your financial aid packages and how you are coping with them. thanks a lot!!!</p>
<p>I think it all depends on how much your parents make a year. My father has been laid off work for about 2 years already, so only my mom works. Thus, Barnard is giving me 48,552 as grant each year. I myself have to pay like 5300 a year? But honestly, 5300 a year is a lot for me since I will have to pay for this by myself. I think everything’s pretty much proportional. It’s all based on needs.</p>
<p>Dancingqueen, you need to have your parents call the financial aid office and discuss the package they sent. It does depend on on your parent’s income and such and is a pretty complicated process that is re-calculated every year you are there. There are lots of factors that are being considered, so have them make sure everything is as it should be…</p>
<p>Good luck to you and your parents. It’s a huge commitment and you need to thank them very, very much for considering it…</p>
<p>omg, this was my first choice 
, i’m so not getting in! All these scores are AMAZING. I know it’s not just about test scores but there’s no way I’m getting in. I know it.</p>
