<p>Neethu–oops, sorry! I should have looked back over posts instead of relying on my memory. Oh well, everything else still stands. </p>
<p>And I REALLY don’t think it means anything yet. Prepare yourselves, but don’t give up!!! I know that you’re all wonderful.</p>
<p>^ I second inasummertown’s post.</p>
<p>I agree with inasummertown.</p>
<p>But maybe it’s just because I want to agree with her :P</p>
<p>I third that. Only 5 people on CC? That seems extremely low.</p>
<p>I live in NC and haven’t got a letter from Barnard yet. If letters are sent from NYC on Wednesday, I should have got one by today. I’m probably gonna stop by my PO box once or twice tomorrow, but I’m expecting rejection b/c my password won’t allow me to access to the event webpage… This is so awful ; -(</p>
<p>Where in the world is etched?!? She’s completely MIA here.</p>
<p>^ She could be out celebrating. 
at least, that’s what I hope she’s doing.</p>
<p>are first year students required to dorm in barnard? by the way, in your financial aid packages, did it assume that you were gonna dorm??</p>
<p>I also agree with inasummertown. </p>
<p>After all, it is the internet. There’s plenty of room for a glitch here and there… right? Maybe Barnard just doesn’t want people using the Events RSVP page as a backdoor to figuring out if they’re accepted or rejected. They seem kind of big on mailing things. It took an extra 2 weeks for my December SATII scores to reach them because they don’t accept email (as in via College Board), only letters. </p>
<p>Hang in there! I really can’t believe that Barnard would pass up on so many of us lovely ladies :]</p>
<p>Maybe try using the “personal password” that they sent out on…December 23? It doesn’t have any letters and I don’t think it’s the financial aid one, it’s just seven digits. Cause I tried that and I got a page saying, “Congratulations XXX, we hope to see you at a spring event for admitted students…”</p>
<p>I haven’t received a letter in the mail yet so I can’t tell you if it means anything but don’t lose hope! They did say that they were admitting in waves! Also these online things are filled with glitches – I logged onto a school’s site a day before the decisions were revealed and I got onto this weird site with the dining menus but the next day, it never told me if I got in! It just kept telling me about the dining menus, it took quite a few calls to the office to sort it out. </p>
<p>Hmph technology is so overrated.</p>
<p>^ Sigh… lucky… maybe you’ll get it tomorrow and that’s why it pops up for you.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m going to be able to sleep tonight.</p>
<p>Aw, inasummertown. Don’t worry!!!</p>
<p>Maybe we’ll get our acceptance letters in the next batch :)</p>
<p>I’m hoping. I keep going to the site and entering my password over and over and praying it will change. Pathetic, I know. Sigh. Here’s to tomorrow!</p>
<p>I keep doing the same exact thing.</p>
<p>Sigh. I think it’s quite sad that us students are getting so upset about colleges, to be honest. Although I understand that it’s not necessarily where you go to college but how much you capitalize on the opportunities given to you, I don’t know if I’ve fully accepted it. Maybe it’s just easier thinking that an acceptance into a certain college will guarantee me a successful life…</p>
<p>I know what you mean. I keep bouncing back between two states of mind: one where I know I could be, and will be happy if I end up at Bryn Mawr. But there’s the half of me that want’s this SO.BAD. that I keep panicking because I’ve tricked myself into thinking that if I want this badly enough that somehow maybe I have a chance. I know that’s not how it works. But I know that there is nothing I would have changed in my app. So that makes me feel really strong and able to do whatever I want with the opportunities I get in life. Which brings me the State of Mind #1 again…then back to being crushed. It’s very surreal.</p>
<p>I tried both my id and my pin. I only get" ID not recognized! Please try again." This journey is really over, & I really wanted to Barnard too! like most of you, Barnard was my number one choice. It made sense because the schools that kept bothering me about financial aid were the one that accepted me. But with Barnard I don’t even feel like I existed to them. I feel really stupid now, hahahah I kept telling my friends and teacher how great Barnard was and how much I really wanted to go there . Well if I still want to go to private school in NY, I still have Fordham. So now it’s between the UClA and UCSD. You girls seem awesome, I wish I could have gone to school with you.</p>
<p>Whoa…so much action today! I’m sorry that I wasn’t around – I was visiting Ripon College that is three hours by car away. I left at seven and got home around eleven-fifteen. Needless to say, I’m exhausted.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I actually like it or not. The only reason I applied was because one of my good friends wanted to go there, but now she’s moving to Georgia. Yeah…</p>
<p>ANYWAY. Congratulations to those who have been accepted.</p>
<p>To my buddies that have not heard and are dealing with the login thing (like me!), to distract yourself from waiting for a tangible letter (I don’t think it’s conclusive that if you can’t login you’re not accepted), think what you’ve learned from the application process so far. By thinking and developing insight, you give the process a positive spin because you know stuff that you wouldn’t know otherwise.</p>
<p>Also, college acceptance is such a crapshoot – you don’t need acceptances to validate your amazingness. Your incredible amazingness shows simply by the fact that you applied to Barnard. It takes guts to apply to the selective schools that you have applied to because they generally yield unpredictable results that can run an electric current through your emotions. </p>
<p>Know that you are so strong for just completing the process: researching, visiting, asking for recs, sending transcripts, taking the SAT/ACT, freaking out…it’s a lot, and you all have done fabulously. Be proud of yourselves. Take time to compliment yourself on all you have accomplished. </p>
<p>If Barnard or any other institution gives you bad news, don’t take it personally. There are so many amazing applicants that it’s so hard to choose and it comes down to things you can’t control. Don’t try to nit-pick it because that only makes it worse.</p>
<p>I hope it works out for all of you guys.</p>
<p>Andddddd, group hug time :D</p>
<p>HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!</p>
<p>Hold on guys, don’t freak out yet!!!</p>
<p>Just hold out until we get our actual decision letters, OK?</p>
<p>Edit: Etched!!! We missed you! And thanks for your wonderful words, as always… you have a beautiful way of phrasing things :)</p>
<p>Aaaaaand, etched saves the day. That was beautiful. How does she do it?!</p>
<p>:)</p>
