Are there any pictures of Barnard's campus? All I can find on the site are just of a building or two. Is there a detailed tour online, etc.?

Hello, I would like to know if interviews are mandatory. If so when are they being held?
  • 42
    Here is their policy on interviews: Although not required, an interview is recommended. For students who are able to visit the campus, an interview can be arranged by contacting the Office of Admissions. Appointments are scheduled Monday through Friday from 9:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., and on selected weekends throughout the Fall. Applicants who are unable to visit the College may request an interview with a local Barnard Alumnae Admissions Representative (BAAR) by calling Admissions or by submitting an online request form.

    Hello! I'm sure Barnard is my first-choice college, but I know I can raise my GPA by the end of my first semester. Should I apply Early Decision or wait and see how much my GPA rises?

      It is up to you, but you should read their policy on early admits. If you apply early and do not get in, you will still be considered in the spring and can submit a midyear report which will show your GPA boost. Be sure to read their page: http://barnard.edu/admissions/apply/deadlines-and-decision-programs
