Even though I knew that I was going to attend Barnard by the
time my Admitted Students’ Open House came around (I applied Early Decision to Barnard), I gained
absolute assurance that I had chosen the perfect school for me during that
weekend. After that, my love for Barnard kept getting deeper and deeper. As
a current student, I really wanted to help prospective students make the
decision to attend Barnard and fall in love with it as I have. So, I was super
excited to host prospective students last weekend.
On Saturday
night, I went to the ice cream social to meet the two students I would be
hosting over the weekend. I was fortunate enough to be given two amazing
ladies, Helen and Jilliann, who were both from Southern California. Even though
they were exhausted from their long flight and a busy day packed with events,
they willingly stayed up long into the night to hear about the experience of my
first year. Just looking at them reminded me of how
excited I was at my admitted students’ weekend and couldn’t believe that a year
had passed since then. Although I wished I had more time with them to
talk about the greatness of Barnard, I was delighted when they told me that
this weekend made them put Barnard on the very top of their college choice list
and thanked me for being so supportive of them and enthusiastic about Barnard.

Helen and Jilliann will keep me posted about their final decisions in the
coming weeks. I am really hopeful that I will see them around campus next
September!
