[justina11]

Jesus. Only 80 were accepted?

[Lillisophia]

anyone else on the west coast? so nervous, having my parents check each day

[howgoesit]

@crocodiles: i'm from suffolk county too! one of the small towns on the south shore

@collingwood: thanks for the info. 80 makes me really hopeful!

AND of course, i can't believe i forgot to mention this: CONGRATS to all the admits!

[Collingwood]

80 is up 6 from the last common data set stats reported for last year for transfers.

[kane688]

i am kinda freaking out right now. I havent receive anything yet, and i am from NYC.

[hopefulgrl11]

80 transfers into the class of 2014? or was that combined 2014 and 2015 transfers? i'm waiting for my decision as well but i applied as a sophomore not junior

[Collingwood]

Last common data set for Barnard that was reported that I was able to find (google Barnard common data set, and review section D); said they made 74 offers to transfers from a pool of applicants of 520. I believe this was for 2010-11. You can check. Those are very good odds compared to many of the other comparable LACs.
Relax! The letters will come. I would guess there is a far greater volume of mail to get through in large urban areas around NY, than there is in rural MA.
Now breathe....

[crocodiles]

my letter says "each fall approximately 80 new transfer students bring a diverse range of..." my sympathies go out to all of you waiting.

@howgoesit that's really funny because i'm also from one of the small towns on the south shore...what a small world.

[justina11]

14% admit rate. that is depressing lol oh well

[justina11]

Sheesh, I applied to Barnard under the impression that the rate was around 17-20%. I might get waitlisted at best...

[barnardbarnard]

I'm from NYS too and I havent gotten anything from them. I feel like it's almost last year again where I'll get rejected. I too thought the rate was closer to 20 than 10.

[Lillisophia]

that really freaks me out! I thought it was more around 20%, too!! Yikes!!
Anyone from the West Coast hear anything?

[hopefulgrl11]

nope, i'm on the west coast. haven't gotten a letter - i think it's gonna be a no
