Dude this is so impressive! Your ECs and future major/career goals are pretty fit for the Barnard College culture. Your stats look good too, and you are pretty competitive. I’m not an admissions officer, but I truly think essays are SOOOO IMPORTANT! I’m a pretty average student with below average testing, grades, and no “hooks” (whatever this term means). But I tried to create the best essays, and I think that made me stand out at Stanford. You got this, be confident, and you seem so smart and amazing with or without Barnard :smiley:
