Today, current Barnard students received an emailing announcing that last weekend, admissions mailed regular decision acceptance and rejection letters to the latest batch of Terrible 12s. Barnard has yet to release statistics of this year’s admission process and has not yet updated its website to reflect whether or not the class of 2012 includes any former child stars.

The 12s, however, have moved quickly, and there are already 177 of them in a Facebook group celebrating their imminent descent on Morningside.  “Yay us! :D”, reads the group description. When compared to the College’s 2012 Facebook group, what BCs Facebook-savvy 12s lack in exclamation points, they make up for in gratuitous emoticons.
