SELECTION
CRITERIA
The Committee on Admissions selects young women of proven
academic strength who exhibit the potential for further
intellectual growth. In addition to their high school
records, recommendations, and standardized test scores,
the candidates' special abilities and interests are also
given careful consideration. While admission is highly
selective, no one criterion determines acceptance. Each
applicant is considered in terms of her individual qualities
of mind and spirit and her potential for successfully
completing the course of study at Barnard.
Barnard
seeks students from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds
and from all geographic regions. The College admits students
and administers its financial aid and loan programs, educational
policies and programs, recreational programs, and other
College programs and activities without regard to race,
color, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, or
disability.
