<p>DETAILS DETAILS nerdy girl- when was the phonecall, when did u get ur letter again, did u send in anything?</p>
<p>Ok, I sent an e-mail last night saying how I was disappointed but happy since Barnard was my first choice and being waitlisted meant I could still go and If they needed anything to let me know. They called me 20 minutes ago. She checked that I wanted to stay on the waitlist and after I said that I wanted to stay on it, she told me I was being offered transfer admission! They’re sending the new letter to my house. I still can’t believe it!!</p>
<p>Ok- I sent them a letter/essay type thing today affirming my commitment to the school as well as introduced a new aspect of myself that i didn’t talk about on my app (my devotion to anti-bullying campaigns.) who did u speak to? Ms Dolan or the dean, ms fondiller? </p>
<p>im having panic attacks right now fyi. i cant believe u found out so quickly!!!</p>
<p>Oh my god, congratulations NerdyGirl!</p>
<p>I emailed them about staying on the waitlist this afternoon. I am trying to not get my hopes up now that I will hear before June, lol.</p>
<p>I spoke to Jessica. I think me finding out so soon was an anomaly. I’m thinking happy thoughts for all of you 
and here are my stats
Freshman at Claremont McKenna College (tiny LAC in Southern California), says international relations on my transcript but I applied as potential political science</p>
<p>ACT: 31</p>
<p>College gpa: 3.4 (if you factor in my midterm grade report)
EC: Model UN (including a major international conference), part time job</p>
<p>High School gpa: 4.0 weighted
high school didn’t ranked, but I was top ten percent
IB Diploma recipient, graduated with honors
won a bunch of citizenship awards
EC: Theatre, dance, Model UN, community service stuff</p>
<p>Congratulations NerdyGirl, that’s wonderful!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone else on the list and to the rest of you still waiting to hear - it’s getting unbearable!</p>
<p>nerdygirl, what exciting news!!! i am very happy for you
fingers crossed for the rest of us hopeful Barnard women!</p>
<p>Nerdygirl, that’s so exciting! I’m really happy for you!</p>
<p>I decided to go to Georgetown (or Brown or Columbia, should I be accepted, which I won’t), so I just informed them online. Hopefully that wait list will keep moving!
Good luck to those of you still waiting on decisions! You guys seem like a great group.</p>
<p>Thanks for helping keep our heads up! I’ve been really scared lately, I feel like there will be less acceptances in the 2nd batch agh I’m so scared. If they’re already filling in spots from the waiting list even before acceptances this week are sent then there are obvious priorities. Or are there? 
I’m so nervous. Can NOT concentrate on anything else right now. :(</p>
<p>do you think maybe because your a freshman applicant and an international student they told you so early? </p>
<p>well, whatever the reason, you are SO LUCKY. Ughhh!!! I hope hope hope I get to meet all you lovely ladies next yearrrrr</p>
<p>It sounds like the only waitlist acceptance is from the soph pool?</p>
<p>Im guessing so- they have to split up the sophs and the juniors, right? an entire year in college makes for a completely different applicant! Im assuming they’d judge us in different groups.</p>
<p>Who knows maybe less girls applied for the class of 2013. I’m not any kind of minority, I’m not international. My stats aren’t all that amazing. I’m just glad I found out before I went back to the east coast for the summer!</p>
<p>oh, maybe i got mixed up…you have all kinds of international poli sci stuff so I assumed I guess. Sorry lol. thats really amazing you should be sooooo happyyyy!!! I just got back from a class at the gym and did not go five minutes without checking my phone…this wait until june 15 is gonna suck. anybody with me?</p>
<p>Ugh I’m nervous! I’m officially in the second batch, I think. No mail today.</p>
<p>What does everyone think? Is the second batch a good thing, a bad thing, or just a timing thing (I sent my app the last day)? </p>
<p>I keep thinking its a bad thing, but why would barnard be so cruel to make the people they will hurt wait even longer to find out bad news? That would be really really screwed up.</p>
<p>@1000Bpm I’m feeling more and more pessimistic as the days go by too. Idk now if being in the 2nd batch is okay, because it feels like a 2nd priority thing. Then again most of us on this thread are going to get something this week I’m sure. Until I get a big packet on Thursday (assuming they do mail it on Wednesday, because it looks like they’re using today and tomorrow to allow for some news from the 1st batch), I think I am going to feel really really depressed. :(</p>
<p>If the second batch is only for bad news, why wait? They could send those letters out on the 3rd and if you’re borderline, they could waitlist you and wait for the accepted responses. I don’t get it.</p>
<p>i doubt its gonna be all bad news, guys. its probably the same as this batch- some acceptances, some rejections, and some waitlists. </p>
<p>but then again, im going just as crazy as you all are. so. dont listen to a word I say. :)</p>
<p>I think it is a timing thing. I know most of my stuff was in way before the deadline.</p>
<p>@licar That’s true too. Maybe they’re just really making sure they review every single aspect of our applications, and the earlier batch were reviewed really fast and probably exhibited clearly whether they were in, out, or still possible. I remember they specifically told me when I visited that they keep all applications for 5 years and the one I sent last year could definitely play a part in my decision this year too, which I like. Since I couldn’t provide any HS records this year from the Philippines, they said it was okay and just make sure to note that in my app this year so they can dig into their file to pull up my HS stuff. Maybe that’s one aspect… Ha I’m totally nuts I’m already thinking too much into things. And have lost all my fingernails.</p>
