Many questions about Barnard

Hi there! I have a few questions I hope someone can answer…


(this one is the most important, lol.) I’ve read that Barnard doesn’t have the best financial aid, so I was hoping to ask some students (or other knowledgeable people :D) about it. My question is, is Barnard generous with their aid? I am Hispanic/Black, out-of-state, and, quite frankly, my family doesn’t make nearly enough money to pay for Barnard (IF there’s not a lot of fin. aid). Would that have an influence on my aid, or is it mostly grade/EC based? (I do have good grades/ECs, though)
It there much of a difference between BC/Columbia? When you graduate from BC, you get a Barnard/Columbia diploma, right?
Would a Barnard grad have nearly as much of a leg up (with jobs, internships, etc.) as a Columbia grad would? Columbia seems to have more of an established name than BC. D: Do you think a future employer would be more ‘impressed’ by an application that has Columbia on it, rather than BC?


Thanks so much for looking!
