Nobody here (or anywhere else) can really assess your chances. It all depends upon your application and what Barnard sees in you that they feel will add to their student body. You certainly seem to be well qualified, though.

Best to you in your search and in applying...

nyuwanabe

rank is a very big deal so the fact that ur 2nd will prob get u into barnard and stuff but for the ivies you should prob get them up even 2 low 2000's .... but still apply to the ivies

simply lily

I had a 2020 SAT and I was waitlisted in Barnard and rejected for Ivies. You may be a special case, but I second nyuwanabe about taking the SAT again just in case...
