How can I get myself off of this waitlist as quickly as possible? - Barnard

yes. I have multiple in-state acceptances. The reason why I am holding onto this waitlist so tightly is because I am in contact with the rowing coaches at Columbia and I have fallen in love with the sport, culture, and school of Barnard itself. My current acceptances do not have very competitive rowing programs and it would be very difficult going from my current full commitment to the sport at the HS level (we practice very similarly to D1 teams and perform pretty well nationally lol) to an underfunded program with mostly novices. I am not trying to be rude toward those programs by any means, it’s just that I really want to continue with a high-performing team and Columbia fits my wishes at every level.
