Reflection

Strengths: GPA, essays, and my desire to want to Barnard,
Weaknesses: My test scores.
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I was admitted through the Barnard Opportunity Program, however, I fought pretty darn hard for my spot, especially after I got deferred ED. I flew out to Barnard to once more prove to them how much I felt as if I belonged there. I think my passion really did it, and I am thankful for this blessing and excited.
Where else were you accepted/deferred/rejected: Accepted: Colorado College, U of Miami (Second Semester), Fordham at Lincoln Center, ASU & NAU (safety schools), Waitlisted: NYU, Rejected: Tulane

General Comments:
It was months of hardship after being deferred ED. At times I felt like giving up and just not bothering anymore because I knew the slim chances of deferred students getting in. I was partially surprised when I got in, but am beyond happy, and thankful for who ever it was in that admissions office fighting for me and looking at anyway to get me in (which they did through the B.O.P)!!!
