I got into Barnard with a 3.52 (unweighted) GPA, if that helps. It was decidedly lower than the average GPA of Barnard admits from my HS. To balance it, I had very high test scores, good extracurriculars, and several awards. Barnard is looking at you as a person, not a number. If it’s the right fit for you, you’ll get in. Other than that, I second what mythmom said – you can’t count on Barnard (nobody can), so do find a good safety school that you’d genuinely like to go to. Best of luck!
