[/ul]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations/Scholarships,etc: I’M SO EXCITED!! Good luck to everyone still waiting, I’m sure you’ll get your big fat envelope soon! :)</p>
<p>So, everyone who got letters already was accepted… OMG… This is freaking me out because I live pretty close to Barnard, and even people in the south got the letters already!! I didn’t get anything from Barnard yet, and this is sooooo ominous to me! My friend from school got hers on the 26th… Why I didn’t get anything? I was thinking that she got early because she is in the HEOP program… But, I guess not, since people out-state got the letters already too. Do you think Barnard would accept more than 1 girl from each school?</p>

<p>Waitlisted :X
I’m a little sad, but in a way this makes my decision a lot easier, so I’m sort of perversely pleased. I’m going to stay on the waitlist, as I do really like Barnard, but I know I didn’t want it NEAR as much as some of you. Oh well. Having come out of the college process with only one flat-out rejection (eff you, Vassar!), I have to say I’m pretty content.</p>
