<p>Damn that sucks. :( I'm scared now lol. Did you apply anywhere else? I know you were kind of over Smith.</p>
<p>I'm so sorry too, it's horrible the way this process makes applicants feel. But you're right, and either you'll try to transfer again or graduate with a great degree that will make graduate schools your oyster.</p>
<p>wow, you guys are sooo much more positive then me. good luck to you guys. i also applied to macalester and NU. i don't hold out much hope for either.</p>
<p>tahiti, what were your stats?</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Mt. Holyoke. I don't really don't have a lot of hope for Barnard now. I sent in my deposit to Temple University, but who knows.</p>
<p>I am so sorry to hear that Tahiti :( ! </p>
<p>This process is nerve wracking. I am trying to tell myself whatever is whatever...like distance myself from it all...</p>
<p>I got in last week (in the mail on Wednesday the 23rd). I applied last year as a first-year, rejected, tried again this year (along with Columbia and Georgetown) and have yet to hear from those two. I sent in my deposit accepting their offer yesterday and I'm pretty psyched.</p>
<p>I'm sorry to see that no one else on here has gotten in yet! The website does say that it's rolling admissions for transfers, so I wouldn't lose hope if you haven't heard yet. They're probably still sorting out documents and processing stuff. They said that they accepted 78 transfers this year.</p>
<p>My stats, in case anyone is wondering:
GWU: gpa - 3.9
HS: weighted gpa - 3.8, UW around 3.5
SAT: 2150 (760 W, 710 M, 680 CR)
SATIIs: 740 Lit, 660 Math, 660 French
Pretty solid extracurriculars, and I think I wrote strong essays to support the app too.</p>
<p>Good luck to those who haven't heard!</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptance! 78 acceptances! Yeesh, those are some narrow odds. lol </p>
<p>Edit: Oh, and Softy, I wouldn't lose hope just because you didn't hear from them in April. Last year there were several girls who did not get acceptances until May.</p>
<p>i have a feeling i'm going to get rejected...everyone who got accepted seems to have gotten their letters in april.</p>
<p>Just a note:</p>
<p>Just because you're still waiting doesn't mean you're rejected. I transferred Fall 2006, but I got my acceptance package so late that I had already registered and paid for another semester at my State U. In fact, it was so late in May that I had to call them to ask what was going on!</p>
<p>Ladies, don't worry if you haven't gotten your letters yet. It doesn't mean anything. I got my acceptance letter in mid-May last year similarly to collegegirl. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Just got my letter today - rejection. Not particularly surprised and I'll be fine going to Temple I suppose. The letter just said that transfer spots were very limited this semester, so the 78 number sounds about right. If you want my stats they were:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.79 after 3 semesters (although at the end of this semester it moved up to a 3.84 so that kinda stinks for me)
ACT: 27
Pretty solid recommendation and bunches of ECs. </p>
<p>Sort of lackluster so that's probably why I didn't get it. Good luck to the rest of you! Hope you all hear back soon!</p>
<p>oh God. at this point i just want to hold the rejection letter in my hand rather than anticipate it all week. i think i'm going to hear back from NYU this weekend, too. it's going to be a double whammy - they only accepted 70/1800 to CAS this year...barnard isn't much better. </p>
<p>guess i'm headed to rochester? at this point i don't even know anymore. i may just stay here.</p>
<p>I think it's just a crappy year to transfer altogether. :/ The incoming freshman class is huge, if my high school is anything to judge by. Ah wells.</p>
<p>On the bright side, transferring to Temple will save me a boat load of money and I'll be able to go to grad school.</p>
<p>softy,</p>
<p>I'm applying to NYU too! My friend received an e-mail from them two days ago, and he didn't get in :( He also applied to CAS, and in the e-mail they wrote that there were 5000 applicants this year for 550 spots :/</p>
<p>550/5000 is much better than 70/1800. someone posted 70/1800 on the NYU thread, which inevitable led to a lot of people freaking out. i didn't think that number could be right. 550/5000 sounds much better, although not too much. </p>
<p>nothing from either colleges today. i suppose we should receive decisions within the next week? meanwhile i'm expecting rejection from both NYU and barnard and pondering whether or not to attend urochester.</p>
<p>I need some serious insight. </p>
<p>I found out I was rejected Friday
(3.9 college gpa at good private school in NC, 3.9 weighted in hs on seven point scale, editor in chief of hs paper, president of german club, founder of darfur awareness club, sunday school teacher, key club secretary/membership chair, 2010 sat, no sat IIs, you get the picture.)
In college I write for the paper, I'm an intern on the Clinton campaign, church group, secretary of college democrats, service learning involvement, haven't gotten any B's yet. </p>
<p>My essays, in truth, were awesome. I could not have made them any better. Recs should have been glowing. So, suffice it to say, I was really trying to think of what may have been the deal breaker for me. I assumed it was HS grades, since I have 3 Cs and more Bs than the average applicant. However, I was on a 7 point scale in high school. </p>
<p>I called my high school to make sure they had send out the form with course offerings as well as grading scale along with my transcript. They did not. They insisted I was supposed to request it. </p>
<p>Did Barnard have anyway of knowing I was on a 7 point scale? Because on a ten point scale, I would not have Cs. My personality is such that I would probably not allow myself to get below an 80 in a class. But three times, I did get between an 80 and 85, which earned me a C. Also, a fair amount of my Bs were 90-92 range. Again, I'm not certain Barnard had any way of knowing this. I was not contacted by their office to send in this information along with course listings from my high school, which insisted this information was not sent. </p>
<p>To what extent do you all think I should investigate this? I just would hate to have been rejected if Barnard wasn't given adequate information on the nature of my high school transcript. </p>
<p>Thank you all, good luck with everything! Regardless of whether or not I get this sorted out, I will be applying to Barnard again in the fall.</p>
<p>I think you should contact them about it. Tell them that your high school made an error and that the grades on your transcripts that read C's should be B's due to the grading system of your school. That explanations are supposed to be sent out regarding this, but were not in your case due to a clerical error.</p>
<p>My mom called me not too long ago and read the letter...accepted!</p>
<p>Congratulations!!</p>
