@NYCGirl33 Georgetown SFS and Barnard are simply not equal, regardless of the fact that both schools are quality institutions. Barnard is a great school (hence why I applied!) but SFS is extremely competitive with the admissions rate being 11-12% this year. Furthermore, the focus of the SFS is much more narrow and requires a far more committed applicant (to IR) than Barnard does. As my school is near Barnard, we send at least 3 girls there a year so for all the reasons listed above Barnard was considered a match for me, whereas Midd and Georgetown were reaches.
