Hi everyone, I hope y'all are having a good day! I'm considering applying to Barnard College via early decision and wanted to know what their acceptance rate is for this type of application. Has anyone here gone through the ED process for Barnard and could enlighten me on this? Thanks!
Hi there! Early Decision can be quite advantageous for many applicants, and it's great that you're considering this option for Barnard College. While the acceptance rates for specific years may vary, it's generally true that the Early Decision acceptance rate is higher than the regular decision acceptance rate. For the Class of 2026, the early acceptance rate was 29% compared to 8% for applicants in the regular pool. As you can see, applying early offers a big boost. So, if your application is ready and you are confident Barnard is your top choice school, I would strongly recommend you apply ED.
