This part pertains to the HEOP part of the program only, which is for NYS residents. HEOP/EOP (SUNY0, SEEK/CD (CUNY) opportunity programs for NYC/NYS students are a 2- part process where you must be both academically and financially disadvantaged. Funding for HEOP will be a combination of Federal aid, NYS aid, NYS aid from the opportunity programs and funding from Barnard. While students may get a wink on SAT scores, they will not get a wink on GPA.
BOP looks for high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds.. The 24 on the ACT does not pertain to BOP students. There may be a slight drop in SAT scores, but not as low as they will dip for HEOP. What they are particularly looking to target is low income students from outside of NYS.
While OP has tossed her application in, she will just have to wait and let the process play itself out However, no matter how she tries to slice it, Barnard is not looking at 100k income as low income. the school will look at students with family incomes that align to HEOP (or Questbridge -since they are not a Questbridge school) income guidelines. The number of BOP students accepted is less than 20.
