<p>Hey, in light of all the prospective freshman threads on CC for Barnard I just wanted to start a thread for any prospective transfer students…I have just started looking at the application and was wondering what everyones thoughts were, particularly because Im having hard time with the supplement essays!</p>
<p>I thinking of applying to transfer to Barnard too, but for fall 2009 because I am a freshman. What are your reasons for wanting to transfer and where do you currently go?</p>
<p>Im also applying for fall of 2009, I'm currently at manhattan college but really want to transfer out because no one seems to take school seriously and it is not the right fit for me at all, however Barnard seems like a huge reach</p>
<p>We are literally in the same exact position. I'm at Saint Michael's College and while people do take schooling seriously there are a lot who don't. Also, Barnard has the exact major focus that I want, which is interpreting and translating in French. I feel like my high school transcript would have gotten me in, but my college transcript might be a little weak. Why do you think it's a huge reach? (I do too).</p>
<p>Well because I can imagine most girls that transfer to Barnard are just (if not more) driven, intelligent and qualified if they are applying in the first place. Not to mention the 30% acceptance rate and the impossible supplement questions hah</p>
<p>I wrote my Why Barnard essay last night. The rest don't seem that hard to write. What do you find hard about them?</p>
<p>well i have no idea what to put for the question on what seminar would you lead, and where would you like to work</p>
<p>im actuall considering to transfer 2 barnard too.
as of now i go to fordham university its a good school but im same position as u guys up there too many ppl concerned with getting drunk & i just dont seem to fit in the environment
id rather go to barnard where there is a more challneging environment and where academics come first..
i applied barnard RD for fall 2008 but i was rejected im thinking to try again to transfer
when is the deadline for the transfer fall 2009 app deadline?</p>
<p>btw besides the essays on the supplements, do we need to write an essay in the common app?</p>
<p>yeah there is a long essay on the common app and a shorter answer on it as well</p>
