<p>It's March!!! How scary is that?! We should use the Facebook more although I'm nervous that I'll get all into it and then be the only one not to get in. The more I think about the more I realize how iffy my chances are. </p>
<p>I'm ridiculously white. Irish, Welsh, English, German, French, and Scottish. My grandmother was Jewish but I never met her so Im not sure what part of the world she came from </p>
<p>o my gosh, i know! pretty soon some of us will be posting if we're in or out...sigh...im gonna miss u guys :(</p>
<p>Or not! Maybe we'll all go to B-nard together! :)</p>
<p>Hopefully!</p>
<p>My older sister is coming home from college for spring break soon and I'm really excited. We don't always get along that well, but I'm probably going to spend time shopping with her and going to the beach and stuff and it's the week before acceptances should be mailed. So it'll keep me occupied.</p>
<p>i hope so too squaregirl!
mp153- Thats nice! i wish i had an older sister to experience college before me, but looks like im the experiment...my parents didnt even go to college. first generation!</p>
<p>superwoman, I'm gonna miss it, too. I can't believe I'm probably going to miss waiting! But I think it's more missing the people that I did it with. Seriously, all of you women are so fantastic, and you will do wonderful things wherever you end up (but still hopefully at Barnard :)).</p>
<p>My sister's spring break is the fourth week of March, which is around when decisions will be mailed. When the results come in and if several of them are rejections, she'll probably have an i-told-you-so attitude because I didn't really use her as a resource in my college application planning. Ugh. </p>
<p>But yes. I will Facebook it up and post in the group. Yaaaay.</p>
<p>first generation here too :)</p>
<p>and i wished i checked these boards as much as you guys; it seems much more close knit here compared to some of the other schools i applied to.</p>
<p>I totally agree! I think girls tend to bond faster, especially since we're all applying to most of the same all-women's colleges! :) </p>
<p>p.s. yay! Another first generation!</p>
<p>I'm partially first generation? My mom didn't go to college, but my dad has up to a professional degree. So I don't really count.</p>
<p>I actually only applied to Barnard in terms of women's colleges. I liked Wellesley enough, but they love math and science...I'm decent at science but math is NOT my strong suit (as evidenced by my TERRIBLE math SAT scores). Other than that, Barnard was the only one I felt really connected to...even though I love the education provided by a women's college, I couldn't get myself excited about Smith or Bryn Mawr, etc. So...Barnard was the only one. But it's a perfect fit.</p>
<p>Wellesley sort of broke my heart when they gave me an 'Unlikely', but I knew it was coming BECAUSE of the math/science. I literally broke 700+ on Verbal/Writing every time and with Math...argh, 630. :*( Smith and Bryn I like too, but not as much as Barnard. I feel like it's the most humanities-centric of the lot, and, well, I'm a humanities gal! :)</p>
<p>how did barnard give you an "unlikely"? was it a letter? I doubt any school would go through the trouble of discouraging it's applicant after the applications were in.</p>
<p>WELLESLEY gave me an Unlikely. Not Barnard. :)</p>
<p>squaregirl, you're fantastic. Don't dwell on the unlikely from Wellesley -- it's THEIR loss.</p>
<p>Is anyone else freaking out when they look at the mail? When I see small envelopes (even if they're not college related at all), I imagine it being a rejection :[ Ugh. </p>
<p>I so want my decision now!</p>
<p>I'm crazy and check both my material tracker and financial aid portal everyday in the hopes that something might be on there hinting about my decision. There never is. It's anticlimactic even though I know they don't do that.</p>
<p>Aw, thanks, etched! :) And every time I get anything from a college, I freak out. HIGH STRESS TIME: NOW.</p>
<p>omg, 28 days! i check the mail everyday its so sad : (...i just dont want to miss anything although i know nothing is coming! i cant wait to find out...the anxiety is killing me. im suprised i made it this far without a stroke...its so nerve-racking.</p>
<p>Hang in there, Ladies. And I will say that I really expect your answer to come a bit before the end of the month... Not that much longer!</p>
<p>27 days (or a few less)!</p>
<p>Egads!</p>
<p>Looking at these stats made me feel a teeeennyy tiny bit better (but still, my gpa still does not meet the median avg) </p>
<p>oh I forgot to mention that I am an adopted chinese baby! Who knows if I'm really chinese? LOLOL jk of course I am.</p>
<p>Did any of you receive emails from barnard regarding financial aid stuff? :-) :-):-)</p>
<p>when I said "stats", I meant by the link that one of the girls posted in the previous blog :)</p>
