hey guys so i’m assuming no one’s has heard anything yet (it’s been really quiet here and reddit) but I was wondering if anyone is in same situation as me. I applied with questbridge application so my app is different and they are most likely aware that I need a lot of financial aid so i’m kinda confused why they would place me on the waitlist when it is need aware (and mainly accept full pay applicants) ? It just feels like false hope ?! Has there been instances where questbridge students get off waitlist with enough aid ?
heyy im not too sure how it works with questbridge but i am sure that we are all on the same boat in regards to waiting on hearing back. the barnard Instagram just posted for the first time in regards to the protest. that stated that they were ‘profoundy affected’ by the recent protests - if we are all not hearing back, I think that it might be strategic since this whole situation going on rn may all scare a lot of applicants/future students. they’re def taking the extra time to prepare and let waitlist students know at a slightly later time when the situation settles (but i rlly don’t think it will given that Columbia and its students haven’t come to a consensus yet).
just so stressful! they usually do a wave before may 1 but not this year
just found this thread - super relieved by the fact no one’s heard anything yet. barnard is my top school at the moment and i did commit to penn but i’m praying for this instead! good luck to everyone, hopefully we’ll all see each other in nyc this fall!
does anyone have any info about movement from admissions yet? im lowk thinking of emailing them to ask…
personally i haven’t heard anything. i think emailing could be beneficial
Agreed. I also had to call the admissions department a few days ago and they were super chill and sweet so you could maybe drop in a call but I would just tread lightly bc I’m sure they are overwhelmed with campus situation + other admissions things rn
I’m so glad I found this forum. I was an HEOP applicant at Barnard and managed to snag an interview! But I was still waitlisted :(. I don’t know what my chances would be bc I am in need of a decent amount of financial aid. Did anyone else here apple heop?
I feel like thehre probs postponing cuz the protests which might impact ppls opinions/ decisions but hopefully theyll come out soon like starting monday bc they dont work on wknds
I’m worried that they’re not going to use the WL this yr
Don’t be worried abt that. They def are gonna use the waitlists, ik a person who got accepted but isn’t gonna go and I’m sure there are more ppl in the same position. Trust!!
I have received an urgent email from Barnard right now and I need to fill out a waitlist follow-up form through the portal that asks the best way to contact me (zoom, WeChat, phone, etc) and my phone number. Does anyone else received this? !
Can you post a pic of the email?
Omg??!!! That means they’re using the waitlist!!! How many LOCIs did you send?
