You've left out an additional possible source of irritation from the Barnard girls: some of them may be ruining the curve in a course you are taking. Using admittedly old data from the Princeton Review the average SAT I at Barnard is 1350, only a quarter of a standard deviation or so from the average Columbia score of 1407. The average HS GPA of the Barnard Freshmen is 3.93, slightly higher than the Columbia 3.78. Given a normal distribution curve it is highly likely that even as you are reading this there is a Barnard girl learning more than you are for an upcoming midterm.
