<p>Ooo I guess I’ll be checking that tomorrow to see if I’m able to RSVP for the admitted students party…</p>
<p>For those accepted, mind posting stats?</p>
<p>I’d like stats, too.</p>
<p>Also, may I please vent? I have never been more confused and self-doubting in my life than I am right now. When my parents told me I couldn’t apply ED for Barnard because they didn’t know how bad the recession would get, I was crushed. I understood their reasoning, I really did, but it still felt like a train had run over my chest. Eventually, I realized I could state in my essay that they were my first choice and that nothing could stop me from attending. According to my friend, my “Why Barnard” essay sounded like a “Shakespearean love sonnet.” I thought that my passion for the school would help me stand out. I mean…everyone I’ve spoken to in the past year and a half KNOWS just how badly I want this…it’s all I think about and all I talk about. I know my teachers and counselor addressed it when they wrote my recommendations. I know my interviewer must have told them in her evaluations. But then I came here. And everyone is passionate. Which means it means nothing that I am. Which means, no matter how much I love Barnard, it might not love me back. Even so, I love it so much that even if it breaks up with me, I’ll always love it. And a part of me will always be bitter that my love went unrequited. I’ve never wanted anything this badly in my life. All of my life, people have messed things up for me. I’d really appreciate it if, this time, I could for once be able to get the thing I actually want and not waste my entire life wondering “What if?”</p>
<p>I don’t think posting stats is necessarily a good idea… </p>
<p>but okay</p>
<p>act: 30 [math-35, verbal-26, science-30]
gpa: 3.68</p>
<p>LOL I think my essays and internship at columbia during the summer got me in! hehe :)</p>
<p>I’m sure you all have much higher stats!</p>
<p>I meant to say “I don’t think posting stats is necessarily a good idea right now”</p>
<p>I’m so happy that I got in so early w/ FA!</p>
<p>mp, you’re wonderful. Really. Consider this, though: there are a large percentage of applicants that aren’t on CC that aren’t passionate. I doubt many people would come into an anxiety thread if they didn’t care. So, don’t use CC as a passion-o-meter. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Congrats everyone!! Wow, I log on late and I hear so much good news - really makes me smile :D</p>
<p>Now all I need to do is just wait and see if us in Texas’ll get anything tomorrow or Saturday >_<</p>
<p>mp, sweetie, YOU’LL BE FINE. You’re a passionate Barnard applicant and well-rounded and enthusiastic about the school. I’m sure that shone through in your essay and they’ll love you. :)</p>
<p>@pekingnese09 - TEXASSSS COMEEEE ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!</p>
<p>mp - No matter what happens, God is there for you with a plan. I really think that your passion for Barnard shines and I can only imagine how amazing your application is. I think that the admission people will be able to see this love, but even if they don’t, you’re not abandoned. And even if the worst happens and they pass you over, I’m sure that you’ll end up somewhere else great. And if you’re still not happy, why not transfer? My mom alwayyys reminds me that there’s nothing wrong with changing.
You’re all in my prayers tonight!</p>
<p>Hmm…a lot of my anxiety is gone now that I know I’m in at Bryn. I really love Bryn, even to the point where I’m not absolutely sure I’d choose Barnard over it (I probably would, but…who knows). Which is going to make me feel hella guilty if I get in and someone else on this board who wants it so much doesn’t. Mp153, if we were in a parallel universe, I got accepted, you didn’t (this is unlikely, given the way reality stands, but) if it were possible for me to give you my acceptance, I would. As much as I love Barnard, I can tell that you love it more.</p>
<p>I sort of feel the same way firefly but I’m still completly head over head in love with Barnard. I’m going into this blind. I’ve only visited one of the 7 colleges I applied to. I’m thrilled to have gotten into bryn. But my love for bryn is a very recent development whereas I’ve been in love with Barnard for forever. It’s nice to know that there is another place besides Barnard where I could be happy. A month ago that wasn’t the case and it was a scary, scary feeling.</p>
<p>I got into UC Berkeley today, but I would choose Barnard in A SECOND.
I’m completely petrified of being rejected.</p>
<p>I have a question. in my application, I wrote my planned major was architecture in barnard. But do I HAVE to stick with what I chose? because I’ve always wanted to be a psychology major :(</p>
<p>Yes, you can change…but if you’ve always wanted to be a psych major, why did you put architecture?</p>
<p>At Barnard, you don’t declare a major until sophomore year, so it’s fine.</p>
<p>And guys, you’re way too nice to me. Like…firefly, you brought tears to my eyes because that is the NICEST thing anyone has ever said to me.</p>
<p>I REALLY need to get off CC.</p>
<p>haha, 
:)</p>
<p>congrats cantochick!</p>
<p>mp153, I have faith that you’ll receive a nice express package from barnard. Anyways, I put down architecture because I’m actually an art major in my current hs and have studied it. At that time, I really didn’t know what other possible majors I should put down. One of the main reasons why I chose barnard was because it’s an excellent liberal arts school that allows me to explore.</p>
