<p>is the regular decision deadline officially january 1? i thought so, but someone just posted a chance the other day. i visited barnard and had an interview in october, but after getting rejected from NYU early decision (although i did apply to the gallatin school which is one of the most competitive), i figured i had no chance at barnard and didnt send in my app.
i just got an email from one of the athletic coaches at columbia expressing an interest in me but unfortunately i got the email yesterday. do you think its worth sending in my application late just to try and is their deadline DEFINITELY january 1? thanks so much!</p>
<p>I would contact the coach and explain that you didn't send an app but that you're interested and ask them how you should proceed. Meanwhile, get your app ready in case they say they'll work it out with the adcom.</p>
<p>Try calling Barnard Admissions and ask to speak to whoever handles athletic recruitment.</p>
