Can someone call the Barnard admissions office and ask about what's going on with the waitlist? I've called quite a bit (and have even used other accents in the hopes of not being identified) but I fear that I'm starting to nag.

My counselor knows someone who used to work for Barnard, and she said that Barnard probably won't be turning to the waitlist right now because they have something like fifty too many students who enrolled.
Urghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ohmygosh 50 too many enrolled? that's crazy. what happens then - they can't un-accept anyone can they? lol

And I'm sorry that they won't be using the waitlist - hopefully that's wrong, and they do use waitlist like usual!

they won't unaccept anyone. they'll probably have to do something crazy like forced triples in a double room or something like that.

man, i wish this is just a rumour, and isn't true. i'm still incredibly hopeful.

To state the obvious, this is a result, I suppose, of the fact that Barnard is indeed a great school and I guess more students are choosing to matriculate than expected, which is a good thing for Barnard but not necessarily for those on the waitlist....sorry!

What an awful sentence that was...

im praying that this is just a rumor, but is it possible to check with the admissions office about the waitlist before May 15th?

it is just a rumor. everyone can take a deep breath. my guidance counselor called the admissions office and they said that it is way too early to make such an assessment. in any event most of the elite schools under-accepted this year in anticipation for the huge influx of applications. waitlists across the board have been VERY active this year. just wait another week--there is still hope for all of us.

honestly, churchmusicmom...

this is NOT an attempt to be rude, but.

I think that you have been way too involved in this Barnard forum in general. When we future applicants ask questions or discuss, all I see is you defending Barnard and stating the obvious all over again.

Seriously. We love Barnard, we're interested, that's why we're here. So please.... hang out in the parent's forum?

goodatlife: Wow. Harsh. churchmusicmom meant to be helpful. Try to see someone's intent, not their effect on you.

And I'm sorry; I know you're stressed from hanging out on the wait list, so it is understandable, but I feel for churchmusicmom reading this.
