Fantastic recs</p>
<p>I don't know what went wrong...</p>
<p>I seem to be having problems at all of my private schools (waitlisted at Reed and Scripps, rejected at Pomona, Barnard, Macalester, Georgetown, and Colorado College). Talk about frustrating!</p>
<p>It's so impossible to tell, peace. But no point in second guessing your application at this point. Just hope for the best for the rest of your decisions!</p>
<p>I never went to the overnight myself, but I host a student every year and they seem to have a really good time. If you're undecided, it's a great chance to get a better impression. If you're already sold on the school, it's a great time to start getting excited about being a Barnard student. Either way, win-win!</p>
<p>i'm really sorry to hear that peace.. where else are u expecting to hear from?</p>
<p>Waiting on Berkeley, Wesleyan, CMC, Bowdoin, Trinity, Mount Holyoke, and Tufts (EDI, deferred). All but 2 are reaches (fortunately, I'm in at UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis, so at least I'll get to go SOMEWHERE). Barnard was one of my favorites... Oh well, I'll survive!</p>
<p>im waiting on wesleyan and cmc too
but dont wanna go there</p>
<p>oh congrats on the ucs!!!
go u!</p>

[</em>] State or Country: New Jersey
[<em>] School Type: Public
[</em>] Ethnicity: Asian American
[<em>] Major strength/weakness: i have to say a little weak on the SAT scores and no interviews were available; took the most vigorous course schedule offered at school; well-rounded ECs; tutoring
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/rejected/waitlisted: if i had only had an interview...and SAT scores too; maybe the "why barnard" question needed a little more work because it's definitely my first choice still!
[/ul]</p>
<p>Accepted ^_^</p>
<p>SAT: 1490
GPA: I have two GPAs cuz I went to two different schools and they do GPAs differently so...3.6 and 3.8.
APs: 8 AP courses, AP scholar</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Asian American
State: Kentucky (yee haw teehee)
School type: went to both public and private
weakness: no interviews, didn't visit, GPA kind of low
strength: um...I don't know ^^' maybe I got lucky!</p>
<p>hi! i got accepted :) i dont really want to fill out the semi-imposing stats, cause i dont like to publicize scores and such, but i'm from long island (hop skip and a jump from barnard!!) i'm really excited about this because I'm already in the neighborhood a lot for orchestra rehearsals and such, and my sister just graduated from barnard last may, so ive been waiting for this for a while, haha.</p>
<p>i'm not definite, though -- it's between barnard and one other school at the moment, but i hear from another one tomorrow <em>holds breath</em> so we'll have to see. but at any rate, congratulations to everyone who was accepted, and good luck to the waitlisters -- i know that's really tough, it happened to me too at another school. and i wish everyone the best wherever they end up next year!</p>
<p>peace, i'm in the same situation - 1430 SAT, 700-730 SATII, countless hours of community service & music, JHU and Columbia summer programs every year since 6th grade, great recs and essays... I guess it just comes down to how much of a crap shoot the decision process is.</p>
<p>Totally regretting my choice now to apply to only seven schools (excluding Harvard EA - was deferred for that one.)</p>
<p>moo-chan where did u get in?</p>
<p>oh and constellation im most likely going too!
ive already decided im joining DG too hehe :)
see u there maybe!</p>
