The post was to warn about the folks responding to Chance Me Threads.

The final ACT score was 27 superscored. The final SAT score was 1790 superscored. One of the persons who responded to the request mentioned in comment #7 had personal knowledge of Barnard and her advice was spot on. Note that some challenged her positions calling her information stale. As noted in the original post, got accepted ED.

Got accepted everywhere an application was submitted. Did not submit to Georgetown, Wellesley, Amherst or Emory because those were being submitted the very day Barnard’s acceptance came out. (Recruiter/admissions officer at Emory indicated student would have been admitted Same for Wesleyan University). Because of ED, could not apply anywhere else.

Always had safeties covered which is why they were not mentioned in chance inquiry. Got accepted to three in-state schools with scholarship offers. Full ride to at least one state school, one private school, and invitations to apply for scholarships at others (but got into Barnard ED). Also got accepted at private schools.

Made the Dean’s List three times in college. Dean’s List must be 3.6 GPA for the semester. May have made Dean’s List last semester waiting on final grade from one class.

I made this post so that other students who get discouraging comments (i.e., from soze’s noteworthy’s analysis), will know to take those opinions as just that - opinions. No hate - just guidance and perception.
