Barnard accepted a record-low 24.9 percent of all applicants this year, after accepting 27.8 percent the year before. Barnard released its decisions via snail mail—it's one of the last universities that still maintains that tradition—earlier this week.
This year, Barnard received 5,154 total applications and accepted 1,284 prospective students. As a fun fact, Dean of Admissions Jennifer Fondiller personally signed each letter. Cheers for traditions!
