Ahhh I’m so stressed out and I wish they’d just call me already
This is a very stressful time, not knowing when and if I will ever hear back from Barnard.
i applied for fin-aid and i dont think that is helping me at all. idk if theyve taken one person off the waitlist who didnt apply for aid
dude i know it’s already such a tense time where a lot of people are strapped financially i am praying that they let some of us who applied for aid off of the list!
Got off the waitlist this morning!
congratulations! just wondering if you applied for financial aid?
I would like to remind everyone that it’s not even May 1. My college counselor confirmed that Barnard (and a lot of other private schools) are not accepting anyone off the waitlist that has applied for financial aid before decision day, but that doesn’t mean they won’t. Due to the uncertainty for colleges caused by COVID-19, it makes complete sense that Barnard is only accepting people who can pay right now. They will most likely reach deeper into the waitlist in the coming months.
no I did not apply for fin aid. But people please don’t stress about getting off the waitlist yet! It’s actually unusual (but we are also in an unusual situation) to get off the waitlist before May 1st, so don’t fret! Like the above commenter said, colleges - including Barnard - usually start taking people off the waitlist after May 1st. So, please commit to your school and start thinking about your life there; I found it incredibly draining when I kept envisioning myself at Barnard and I didn’t get off the waitlist in the beginning, while I saw everyone else getting taken off. Be realistic, but stay hopeful!
Wait… I sent my LOCI in March 30 to both the waitlist email and my regional admissions officer. I never got a confirmation email saying that they added it to my file… Please help
Email admissions and if they don’t say they’ll add it to your file call them
I got off the waitlist yesterday afternoon!!!
Congratulations; I’m glad that Barnard is still taking people off the waitlist! To those who were recently admitted, may I ask when you guys submitted your LOCI and if you provided any more updates since then?
I sent in my LOCI on 4/15, and did not provide any updates after that.
I also got off the waitlist on the 29th! I did apply for financial aid, but emailed my counselor that I would no longer need it in one of my LOCIs.
@emc1016 congratulations!! Also, who did u email the LOCI? The regional representative or Barnard waitlist office?
Has anyone that was accepted off the waitlist received the admissions packet in the mail?
I got the acceptance letter in my portal, but have yet to receive anything in the mail. Did anyone else receive anything?
Given that Barnard is in NY, do you think we’ll be able to attend at least the spring semester?
@Sarah0328 I sent in letters to both the waitlist email and my regional representative. My letter to the waitlist email focused most on my accomplishments since submitting my application, and the one to my regional representative focused most on why I see Barnard being the best fit for me.
does anyone have any guesses as to when people who have applied for finaid may get off of the waitlist?
