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 […]

We didn’t get pictures like last year, but word is that acceptance letters went out today, meaning that there are going to be a lot of angsty posts over here and excited youngsters the world over refreshing their e-mail obsessively. CC and SEAS combined got over 21,000 applications–that’s a lot to reject! Welcome, class of […]

Bwog almost didn’t notice that Teacher’s College Director of Admissions Tom Rock was practically nixed off of CBS’s The Amazing Race 10 tonight. According to tipster Stephen Wang, “There was sweat, there were tears, and all in the middle of a rice paddy.” Tom Rock is on the show with his partner Terry. Good luck, […]

The University of Virginia has just dropped early decision. The pressure is on! Who will be next?

Spectator has relayed that Princeton has joined Harvard in ending early admissions. Shall we proceed from largest to smallest endowment? Or till the order go by US News Rankings? Either way, the other six are in the hot seat…

Harvard was the first to make early action non-binding, and it’s now become the first to ditch the whole policy, which has been widely derided for favoring children of the rich and deadline-savvy.

He’s back for more, producing what’s being pitched as a “reality-like” film, about his Alma Mater. And it’s going to be narrated by Brian Dennehy! Yay! […]

Friday’s New York Times has a strange article which reports that law school applications have been declining across the board for the first time since 1998. For Columbia, that meant 335 fewer people got in line this year for a chance to spend 120K burning the midnight oil at Diamond Law Library outlining briefs like […]
