I just got accepted to Barnard recently and I'm interested in learning more about your college experience( the pros, the cons, social life etc) perhaps you can make a video
That's amazing! Did you get in through ED?
@@eyayianen6361 Thank you ! And yes I did.
Congratulations on the acceptance!! 🎉
I recognize your last name, girl congratulations!
I really want to get in and I’m wondering if you applied normal or early decision?
YES!!
You look like the cutest human being on earth!!!!!
Barnard was my dream college but I unfortunately didn't get in
You can always transfer!!
@@kalexis6484 explain what u mean by this. If u don’t get accepted u can go to a regular college and transfer to Barnard?
@@Jendkapclmw yes
hi! I am applying to Barnard regular decision, and this was super helpful! you made me feel so much better about my chances! I was wondering if you would be comfortable talking about the specifics of the grant you received? did you have to apply? thank you!
Ryesa McGehee Hi! The grant I received was given to me by Barnard, I did not apply for it. It is funded by a private donor of the school. Barnard has many grants that they give out to students and mine focused on immigration, which my personal statement revolved a lot around. After I received the grant and accepted it I was able to meet the donor, so that’s super cool! Also, Barnard has a yearly scholarship reception where we get to have dinner with other donors and scholarship recipients.
Metzli Nieves that’s so amazing!! thank you so much!
Hi! I loved you video, thank you! Well, my name is Jamile and I am from Brazil (!). I'll apply this year tô Barnard, but I am really worried about the cost of living in nyc. How was this experience for you (considering you are a full-ride student)?
Thank you so much for watching! As for your question well NYC is expensive, especially the area that Barnard/Columbia. I try to not eat out as much as the prices can add up and textbook wise I almost always get mine at the library. In regards to living off campus, I probably wont be the best to ask since I live in a dorm. You also need to allocate for expenses for traveling, a single ride train pass is $2.75 and $5.50 for round trip. So keep in mind if you are looking to explore the city to make sure you are keeping track on how much train/bus fair will be. Let me know if you had any specific questions! :)
I have my interview for Barnard today… eek!
Kate Marie Wishing you the best of luck!!! You’ll do amazing! :)
Kate Marie Omg how was your interview!! what kind of questions did you get asked?
Jacque xo it went really well! It lasted around and hour and 15 minutes and she asked me pretty broad questions in the beginning and made them more specific the more we talked.
can you please help me by telling me the questions that they ask during interview, I have next month
Selena Angel I think they were pretty standard interview questions. Tell me about yourself and why Barnard were the two main questions, but other questions naturally stemmed based off of my answers. I feel like I asked more questions than than the alumna had for me, but that’s because I came prepared and am genuinely interested and excited about the school.
Thank you for making this video! In your financial aid package, did you not have a student contribution?
I’m so glad you liked the video! And no, I didn’t have a student contribution
HI! I'm applying as a transfer to Barnard for next fall. My grades have always been good, both in high school and now at the college I am attending. I graduated with honors in high school and made Dean's List this past semester at my college. I also was very involved in extra-curricular activities. I'm worried that because I didn't take AP classes in high school and that my SAT score was subpar, that I have a low chance of getting in. I took a few honors courses, but mostly took classes that were considered "college prep" in my high school. My senior year I also did dual enrollment and took a class at a college campus. I'm very strong in writing and feel like I could write a very strong essay, but I am still worried academically. What do you think about my chances on getting in?
babybails to be completely honest. You sound like a very competitive candidate but at the end of the day I am not a college admissions officer so I cannot tell you if you have a high or low chance of getting in. Every student is different! I’ve met people with higher GPA’s than me and people who have taken more AP’s than me. It all depends on who is reading your file and making the decision. I would say focus on your essays and supplements as those are the only things you have complete control over (you can’t really change what grades you got in high school). Wishing you the best of luck! 😊
I think you have a great chance of getting in! You got this
Oh you smart smart
Thanks for the info!! Did you obtain a full ride through a certain scholarship program or the school itself?
Maya Lane the school itself. I got a grant from the school that covered everything
That’s amazing. Did you apply early decision?
Maya Lane no, I applied regular decision :)
Hi! I’m applying this year but missed the early decision deadline...the fact that you are accepted through regular decision comforts me a lot! But can I ask what other schools have you applied to? I am afraid that if Barnard rejects me and puts me in an awkward situation, so I kinda want to do ed2 for other colleges...but then I’m so afraid that I would miss Barnard...any suggestions?
I applied to 6 CUNY schools, 4 SUNY schools, NYU, Fordham, Columbia, and UPenn. I would say still apply to Barnard without a doubt but also look for other schools that interest you. For me, Barnard was one of my "reach" schools and I honestly doubted myself a lot through the application process. But have faith in what you have done and the work you have done!
Metzli Nieves okay! Thanks!!
hi, did you apply for the full ride or got it from their side w/o any application/essay?
Who helped you with you’re college essay? I don’t know how to start mine. Also, can the students in Barnard help a hs student write their essay?
We have a really similar story!
Nayeli González I got helped from Yelena Shuster. This is her website
theadmissionsguru.com She does pro bono work and that’s how I was able to work with her!
Nayeli González about Barnard students helping..I’m sure we are allowed to give feedback as long as we are not actually writing the essay for students lol
I love your videos so much!! For full ride, did you have to take out any loans? For financial aid purposes I'm considered independent due to my family situation and I am expected to pay for college myself and I nervous I'll have to takeout a loan
syreeta khan Hey! So glad you enjoyed it! I did not take out any loans, my cost of attendance got paid by Barnard.
syreeta khan all schools (if not most) have a net price calculator where you can get an estimate of how much you would have to pay. This is barnard’s: npc.collegeboard.org/app/barnard
how possible is it to get into Barnard if I didnt have a leadership position in any clubs ( i did 6), have less than a 3.4 gpa, class rank 250/570, Latina, bad family situation, not a competitive high school (only like 2 people at my school have gone to ivy leagues or top 20 ranked schools)? I'm not sure if i should even bother applying :/
I don’t know but there’s no harm in applying to see if you get accepted. I’m in the same position as you except I’m African-American but I wish you luck!
so, how did it go?
@@user-nt9ek1gc5w i didn’t apply because it’s too expensive
@@444fawn don't they give full ride?
@@user-nt9ek1gc5w idk i didn’t even do proper research into it lmao

@@MetzliNieves I applied to Barnard through HEOP ED and I'm so scared because it's my dream school
