<p>Hey guys, I’m new to the site, and I just wanted to see if anyone had some expertise on Barnard’s transfer admission process. So, I’m a freshman English major at Howard University, and I applied to Barnard as a first-year student but unfortunately, was rejected. I just don’t think Howard is the school for me, and I really want to give Barnard another shot.</p>

<p>In high school I had a 3.9 GPA unweighted, 1610 on the SAT (yeesh…low, I know…), 600 in Reading SAT II and 580 in the American history one. Tons of extracurriculars, I was valedictorian and class president, community service, I did community college classes starting my junior year, and I graduated at 16. </p>

<p>This past semester, I had a 3.4?? GPA, was in a couple clubs, volunteered to help at a shelter for kids, but not much extra curricular stuff. Oh, and at the end of this semester, I will have 24 credits. </p>

<p>So, I guess my only question is, does anyone think I have a good chance? I know it’s not really a fair question, but I need something to calm my obsession lol. Also, is transferring in easier? I heard that somewhere, but I don’t know if it’s true. </p>

<p>Okay, thanks everyone!</p>

<p>My mom always told me that transferring is easier. 3.4 is a bit low, but Barnard is open-minded when it comes to the admissions process and loves to emphasize the individual. Really work on that personal side of you. Talk about how you think you’ll fit in at Barnard–that it’s where you belong. You never know! So don’t write off the possibility just yet–I say give it your best shot and you might be surprised :)</p>
