<p>If you applied for fin aid you should have it.</p>
<p>I’m giving up hope more rapidly each minute. My scores weren’t the highest but I thought I’d written really good essays. I really, really wanted to go there. I feel really lost right now.</p>
<p>inasummertown, I feel lost too.</p>
<p>My scores and grades were about on par if not higher… and I thought my essays were pretty good, too. Sigh.</p>
<p>We’ll see I suppose?</p>
<p>I just checked my financial aid portal and there was nothing in particular that popped out. The screen said Welcome… what should it had said.</p>
<p>Take the number that you used to log in to the financial aid portal (assuming it is the same as the tracker password) and enter it here: [Barnard</a> College Admissions](<a href=“http://snowbird.barnard.edu/pls/bcapp/admission_spring_events.input_cid]Barnard”>http://snowbird.barnard.edu/pls/bcapp/admission_spring_events.input_cid)</p>
<p>My password is 7 numbers (no letters), if that helps, I don’t know if that is true for everyone.</p>
<p>should there have been a congrats? My financial aid is not done because my parents havent finished their taxes. How should it look?</p>
<p>neethus, I thought I’d prepped myself enough but this is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. </p>
<p>Yeah, I guess we’ll just have to hold out our hope until we learn something official – either way.</p>
<p>I suppose I should just hold out hope for Tufts. Seems like my other 2 top choices, Wes and Barnard, didn’t like my app very much :(</p>
<p>I have to admit I thought I was going to get in. I know Barnard is a reach for everyone, but my stats are higher than those who are admitted and I thought my essays were awesome. I know my recs were pretty good too, as I got to read one of them… maybe it was my grades though.</p>
<p>I guess there were just too many female, Indian flute players applying.</p>
<p>It certainly doesn’t seem like many on this thread were accepted then…ugh, it won’t let me log in, either. But I’m not going to worry about it until I get an official letter (of rejection). I posted here months ago and have been lurking ever since. You guys are all awesome, so don’t worry too much if Barnard doesn’t let us in.</p>
<p>Edit: Yeah, I just found out my friend from school got in, so I’m pretty sure I’ve been rejected. Aha.</p>
<p>lacy, there shouldn’t be a congrats on the financial aid page, there should be a congrats on the admitted students page that I just posted. You just use the same password for both (we believe, it’s certainly the same number as the application tracker login).</p>
<p>I tried to RSVP to the admitted students day, and it didn’t recognize my password.Guess i didn’t get in…</p>
<p>Aww, neethus, I’m sure there are many factors that contribute to admissions. Maybe sometimes it really is just a crapshoot. And the thing is, for us it’s so personal - getting a rejection - whereas a lot of times the college have limited numbers and very qualified people are cut. That doesn’t mean that we aren’t worth while or that our essays weren’t good. A few months after sending in my app I read my essays and I think it was one of the few times in my life that I’ve been proud of me for being me, without any reservations. I keep telling myself that I should give up hope and that this is a really big sign as to what the next few days will hold. But this isn’t official. We haven’t gotten a rejection - not yet. And so in that there is a glimmer of hope that I can’t…no matter how hard I try to…cannot get rid of.</p>
<p>I know exactly how you feel.</p>
<p>I have that same faint ray of hope… sigh.</p>
<p>Mine has a letter followed by numbers. Still doesn’t work, though. :</p>
<p>I’m bummed about my more-than-likely rejection, but congrats to everyone who’s in so far! You all rock. :)</p>
<p>Hey, you guys. I notice you’re panicking and relax! So many of you have been accepted into fabulous schools already. Instead of worrying about the ones you WEREN’T accepted into, celebrate the ones in which you were. Smith. Bryn Mawr. My lord. You’re going to get fantastic educations! Be proud and happy that the admissions committees at those schools recognized you for being the fabulous women you are and stop focusing on what hasn’t happened! Congratulations everyone. As a mother, let me tell you life is just beginning! The best is yet to come.</p>
<p>I have to assume that if the password Barnard gave you for tracking your application doesn’t work…then you’re rejected. It just makes sense.</p>
<p>^ I don’t know.</p>
<p>What if they just haven’t put your tracking number on the list yet??? After all, they’re doing waves of letters. Why else would they do that? Probably to better facilitate clerical work – i.e. punching in tracking numbers!</p>
<p>We’ll see in a few days I suppose.</p>
<p>It said on their website a few days ago that admitted students would be able to RSVP on March 27th. How could they not notify some of us by now? And how could we still not be able to sign in?</p>
<p>Either way, I wish I’d at least gotten a rejection letter today. It’s silly, but I feel snubbed. Haha. Anyway, I got into my first choice, and if that doesn’t give me enough aid, then I can fall back on GW. I’m sure you guys all have great options, too. Bubblesyablonsky is absolutely right.</p>
<p>I tried everything and I can’t log in. </p>
<p>-dies-</p>
<p>Okay, I could totally be wrong about this but…</p>
<p>I think it’s weird that SO many of us aren’t able to log in. I know it’s competitve but I would think that more people from this site would be accepted. I really think that waiting for an actual letter is best.</p>
