Mythmom is right- Barnard is by no means a given for anyone. I would definitely have a safety school in mind…you din’t want to feel crushed if things don’t happen like you wanted them to.
I am in a similar situation as well. What I did, was I uploaded a resume on common app, and along with my resume I wrote a five to six sentence paragragh explaining my grades. I beat them to the punch by explaining early on, because most of the time they will call you about something like that. I offered to send in my 6 weeks grades as soon as they came in to show that I will make progress. If I were you, I would do something similar to that. Note- Make sure it’s an extremely brief explanation. Since the app is already done, I would email them offering to send your most recent grades to show your improvement. :)
