<p>My daughter was accepted with around a 92 average and no SAT submitted but I think the reason they admitted her was like LeCorbusier, she marches to her own drummer. The handwritten comment at the end of the admissions letter was something like, “Your creative endeavors will fit in nicely at Bard.”</p>

<p>Congratulations to all those admitted, and good luck to those who need financial aid to attend. </p>

<p>Balletislife, if you are interested in dance, the Faculty Dance Concert is the weekend of April 27th and the Senior Dance Concert is the weekend of May 11th. I just saw the Spring Dance Moderation Concert (for sophomores hoping to get accepted into the dance major program) and I was quite impressed with all but one dance.</p>

<p>I got in Early Action, just to lazy to do one until now.
