<p>Anybody else? What now?</p>
<p>Sorry, still waiting on mine. </p>
<p>Most likely, it will not be a waitlist though. :/</p>
<p>I, too, am waitlisted :(</p>
<p>I was totally crushed, but I’m doing my best to be proactive about it. I’m writing a letter to the dean, will call admissions soon, and am probably going to have a few more letters of recommendation sent. </p>
<p>I really hate the idea of waitlists and am still really torn. Part of me wants to do everything I can to get off the waitlist and admitted, but part of me is saying ‘well if they don’t want me I don’t want them!’ </p>
<p>From what I’ve read online, chances of getting picked from the waitlist are really slim, though. Because there are SO MANY qualified applicants and just not enough space, waitlists are getting bigger and bigger. </p>
<p>So for what now, I’d say to write a letter explaining your enduring interest at Barnard, perhaps send new transcripts and keep them updated on your accomplishments, and then just wait. Currently preparing myself to have to go to my state school 
(because now I’m positive I’m not getting into Brown tomorrow!)</p>
<p>Best of luck 
And remember, where you go is not what counts–it’s what you do when you get there.</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted as well. Of the schools I applied to Barnard was my favorite. I drove to the post office to get the postcard sent out today, but, financial aid is a huge factor in where I go and I have no idea what I’d be getting from Barnard if I am accepted from the waitlist. I’m trying really hard not to cry. :(</p>
<p>However, I am planning on writing a letter to the dean and getting some of my teachers from this year to write recommendations for me.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that colleges are often not need-blind in their waitlist – it really depends on the status of their financial aid budget. If they are running short of funds, then the financial aid office will let the ad com know – and spots will be offered to those who can afford it. </p>
<p>I am not talking about Barnard specifically, but obviously Barnard is a school with a relatively small endowment and times are tough. My guess is that it isn’t necessarily an all or none situation-- just that in the end, they have to face their own budget constraints. </p>
<p>I know it is a huge disappointment, but if you really need financial aid I think you also need to keep the realities in mind. Of course right now we don’t even know whether there will any waitlist spots opening up at all.</p>
<p>Goldandgreen, I’m in the exact same boat! Financial aid is a big factor for me too, but it looks like I won’t even have to worry about it since I’m probably going UMD, my state school, now. </p>
<p>My top choice has always been Brown but I knew how totally unrealistic that was and settled on Barnard as my reachable top choice and became totally obsessed with it. I was so sure I would get in! I was crying alllll afternoon yesterday. </p>
<p>I’m doing my best to accept it, do my best, and just get on with it. Where do you all think you’ll be going next fall if not Barnard?</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>Devastated.</p>
<p>How do I get off?</p>
<p>dftba6, I did the exact same thing with Barnard becoming my reasonable top choice! I knew almost nothing about it when I applied other than that it was a great school in NYC, then fell in love with it afterwards. I’ll be headed to NYU if I’m rejected (which I assume I will be) by Harvard and Columbia tomorrow.</p>
<p>Waitlisted as well. Totally broke my heart. :(</p>
<p>What are the chances of getting off?</p>
<p>Are there any success stories?</p>
<p>I was waitlisted, but it’s no big deal since I’ve already enrolled at Beloit College, which I had more or less decided on since my visit in January. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone who’ll be keeping their place on the waiting list!</p>
<p>These past two weeks have been depressing…</p>
<p>How are other waitlistees feeling?</p>

<p>I don’t know how credible these stats are, they are definitely a little bit out of date. But, it does give me some hope. </p>

<p>I really wish I had been waitlisted because I don’t think I’ll get in RD.
I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it anyways! </p>
<p>Good luck, everyone!</p>
<p>Has anybody ears anything yet? I was looking into transferring and I’ve read that they don’t offer need blind financial aid. It’s apparently more competitive.</p>
<p>The Admissions Office posted on their Facebook page that they still aren’t sure if they’ll be going to the waiting list or not.</p>
<p>Last year, a few people were accepted off the list on May 8th, which has passed.</p>
<p>I think the office is just afraid to say no…and is keeping it open just in case. But I doubt anyone will be accepted this year.</p>
<p>I will be applying as a transfer next year. Oh well. Life happens.</p>
<p>And I also looked at the Barnard Class of 2015 facebook group.</p>
<p>Lots of girls in there.</p>
<p>I think Barnard thinks too many girls enrolled.</p>
<p>Got my response in the mail today…</p>
<p>“Due to the overwhelming response to out offers of admission, we will not be able to offer you a place in our first-year class entering in September 2011…Given your credentials and your continuing interest in Barnard, we would welcome an application as a transfer student after you have completed at least on year at another college of university.”</p>
<p>My daughter got the same letter. Even though she had moved on and never got to the point where she made Barnard her first choice, it was depressing to get the letter. It took her 24 hours to open it. She kept her name on the waitlist because she thought Barnard was a great opportunity but I think it is probably better to treat waitlist offers as rejections and move on.</p>
<p>Congrats to the Barnard class of 2015</p>
