Anyone apply EA to Bard and hear yet? I’m curious when they typically let people know. I know it says end of December but it seems like many schools send them out earlier than that.

My daughter applied EA and hasn’t heard yet.

My daughter also applied EA and has not heard

My daughter ended up withdrawing her application a couple days ago after she was admitted ED to her first choice, but we had not heard yet. Their webpage says by the end of December but I hope for everyone’s sake it won’t be that long! Bard is a great school for those it fits.

Also waiting here…

My kid was admitted by the immediate decision plan in November. I think it’s an amazing school.

Congrats to your kid! I wish we had known about immediate decision earlier. DD would have done it but it was full by the time we found out about it.

Still waiting here. She heard from her one other EA that was supposed to let her know by the end of December. Hope it’s soon!

The waiting is absolute torture. I don’t think I’ll make it to April.

End of December is so unhelpful! Give us a date please!!!

Decisions are out!
