<p>Ahhh...I see. I hope they spend more than a minute on my application. </p>
<p>Yeah, they haven't rec'd (I'm just abbreviating it that way because it looks cool, haha) my ACT scores, either, or my mid-year report (my semester ended at the very end of January, so I'm not sure if it was even sent yet because I also asked to have some parts of it revised). But I really hope it's not a reason for rejection!! I had a dream I got rejected from Barnard...heh. I hope it's not a correct prediction.</p>
<p>And, since it's the first day of February, we have a little less than two months left! But I just want my letter NOW! </p>
<p>I know, two months, sounds soo far but january i swear flew passed me soo hopefilly we find out soon! hopefully this time nex year well b in ny! yay for us Barnard prospects for working hard to polish those weird but interesting responses (lol; well at least mine were weird!) </p>
<p>I have those dreams all the time. The worst is that everyone keeps telling me that I won't get in and I really don't want them to be right. I'm sure none of you know [title of show], but in the show, they discuss "vampires" and vampires are basically the people and thoughts that tell you that you can't do things. I don't want to let the vampires in my life win, because once they win, they can win forever. So here's hoping...</p>
<p>Also, I'm flipping out because the fin aid forms were ALL due today and my accountant still hasn't sent some of the stuff to my dad so we can send it. So we sent CSS and FAFSA...but nothing else. So my dad is calling the fin aid office tomorrow and seeing what they say.</p>
<p>I'm glad you have so much enthusiasm, superwoman :)</p>
<p>mp, yeah, those dreams suck. The concept of vampires is interesting. What show is it? While it's true that negative thoughts can ruin a person, I don't think people telling you that you won't get into Barnard will do anything because you've already submitted your app (you said you couldn't have done it any better and now there's nothing you can do but wait), so if they don't want you, you'd be better off somewhere else where they do want you. However, in the meantime, try to surround yourself with people who believe in you and your great potential for success, be it at Barnard or any other fine post-secondary institution. </p>
<p>The financial aid office will probably be understanding; other people are in similar situations.

<p>mp153 - can we be friends? You not only got my username but you know [title of show] too! Just remember that the mother of all vampires is despair and you have got to fight it! I've been dealing with massive vampires lately too. </p>
<p>I keep dreaming of the tiny envelope. I dream my mom brings it to my school and gives it to me in the middle of class. :(</p>
<p>Wow, I feel so stupid. [title of the show] is the actual title; I thought for some reason you were excluding the name of it. Clearly, I need more sleep and an immersion into more media, haha...</p>
<p>inasummertown, that's sad! Why would your mother (in dream form at least) want to give you a rejection in front of your peers in class? I think what we need to remember is that the mind is a complicated place, and our dreams have no indication on our decisions :)</p>
<p>inasummertown- OMG YES. Love [tos]. I saw it thrice on Broadway. Let's be friends. Also, I have a really similar dream all the time. Except my dad texts me about it in school and I just start crying.</p>
<p>and etched- you need some [tos] in your life. Everyone deoes. It's the best, most inspirational, most uplifting show ever. You need it.</p>
<p>That really did happen to someone I know last year (the text message+crying). They got rejected from Yale and had to go to Harvard, poor thing (heavy sarcasm). </p>
<p>:( what is a safe H.S. GPA/average for barnard? mine was 91.77 but dropped to 90.40 due to senior grades. I'm so screwed!!! I heard that Barnard accepts students with really high gpas like a 3.8 and higher (95+) T_T</p>
<p>^ I'm sure you'll be fine :) And I hope not, sheesh, my unweighted is not a 95! I'm sure workload balances it out - I mean, seriously, if you're getting a 95 with 10 AP courses (I've taken 10), then you're on the level of HYPSM. Nothing against Barnard - I'm just saying you'd be (objectively, meaning stats-only) on the level of those students (not applicants... admits).</p>
<p>AND YOU FORGOT A WORD! I'll do one more to make up for yours ;) (btw vampirically isn't a word - I just looked it up at dictionary.com for fun)</p>
<p>Don't worry about grades. Don't worry about your essays. Don't worry about your recs. Just don't worry about your application at all. It's done. Be proud of the work you've done throughout your high school career, but realize that acceptance to a college isn't the be-all-and-end-all. Just chilllllllllllllll. My GPA is low, too (3.38uw/3.6w), but I'm confident that my application shows me as a worthwhile individual that's more than my grades. Okay, sorry for that ramble; that was half to reassure the poster and half to reassure myself. AHHH...senior stress! </p>
<p>neethus1, half the fun of word games is making up your own ;)</p>
<p>so agree! I'm panicking too: low gpa of 3.7/4.0 (UW) (school's weird grading system) Grr! I'm taking all the AP's in the school; sadly : ( (only five!) Wow...I feel like a retard...senior stress is soo crazy! I want to know NOW! Ahh...the anxiety!</p>
<p>I have a 3.745/4.0 UW and a 4.9 W, but...ugh. Yeah, I sympathize. My school offers a ton of APs, but because two of my extracurriculars required elective class periods, I didn't get to take all that I'd have liked. I took the ones that most interested me, but regret not taking more. What's done is done, I guess.</p>
<p>mp153 - I too screwed up my financial aid forms, but it's just because I was an idiot and had NO IDEA they were even due. So... we have yet to send in our '07 tax returns. I'm extremely anxious about it. I thought once the application was done I'd be golden! Why so much extra stress over money and things I never even realized were important?!</p>
<p>And Barnard isn't the only one I've messed up either... ugh...</p>
<p>Guys, let's not worry about numbers...unless, of course, in relation to studying math and not developing senioritis in that area! I know it's hard, but really, cheesy as it sounds, it's about what you've learned in your classes, not your grade. You've empowered yourself with knowledge, and that's beautiful. Grades don't matter as much as the thirst for learning (or at least that's what I think).</p>
<p>I looked up admission statistics for the class of 2012 on Barnard's Web site, and the unweighted GPA is 3.88. I think it's the unweighted GPA because it says it's on a 4.0 scale. </p>
