Transfer to Barnard?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Barnard has been my dream school since I started the college process. I applied ED in senior year but was denied (my counselor said they were debating over me though and had called him numerous times). I am now at an okay (top 60) school but still hope to go to Barnard.
My school has a really poorly designed language program. My intro french course was worth increased credits and not taught well so that killed my freshman fall gpa even though my other grades were good. I ended up with a (3.1). We're almost at midterms for spring term and so far, from grades and feedback I've had, I should pull upwards of a 3.8 this term.
I went to a top high school and had solid SAT's and AP's.
Does anyone think I have a chance if I transfer this term? With my fall gpa? Or should I wait another year to show them more A grades?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Apply again if you want to. You have another shot at Barnard, but not so much. If you get denied, apply again after another year. </p>

<p>In the meantime, why don’t you chance me as well?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/866251-anyone-can-please-chance-me-gladly-appreciate.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/866251-anyone-can-please-chance-me-gladly-appreciate.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Any other opinions? I’m basically just trying to decide if I’d have better enough chances that it’d be worth it to wait another term before applying? Or will it not help much and just try now?</p>

<p>I say wait, because you will more likely get accepted after sophomore year, especially if you get straight As or as close to it as possible.</p>

<p>and I cant believe you are almost at the halfway mark of spring semester! we don’t even start spring semester until monday!</p>
