<p>So I just got my confirmation date for November 7 for the immediate decision plan. I was just wondering if anyone else was signed up for the program or if anyone had any input? I’m so excited and nervous, but I can’t wait to find out if I’m in!</p>
<p>I’m going the 13th. I’m a little nervous; I still have to do the readings, but I’ve skimmed them and they look really interesting. Good luck, I hope you get in! Is Bard your first choice? Do you plan on applying to other schools even if you are accepted?</p>
<p>I’m going the 13th too! I’m scared out of my mind! But I always get scared before these things. Hopefully I’ll be smart…</p>
<p>Yeah I read the reading Plato but not the other one. I have to get on that. Bard is definitely in my top two, but I’ll probably apply to a few others even if I get in just for financial reasons.</p>
<p>But good luck to both of you! It sounds like such an interesting program, I can’t wait to see how it turns out.</p>
<p>Same here, I plan on applying to others (Wesleyan, Reed, Hampshire, Brown, a few others possibly) for financial reasons, but I really do love Bard.</p>
<p>Good luck! I’m exited to see how it goes as well.</p>
<p>^^ DD applied IDP last year (class of 2013). Her experience was wonderful, and when we met her after the “whole thing” ended, she had a skip in her step.</p>
<p>As parents, while IDPs were getting ‘grilled’, we got down & personal with Prez Leon Botstein, always an educational joy.</p>
<p>It’s a day to be remembered fondly…go forth with open arms.</p>
<p>:)</p>

I went on November 7th for Bard IDP too.
Have you heard from Bard yet?
I’m really nervous; I thought that decisions would be at my house in a day (I live close), but it hasn’t yet. And I think today’s a federal holiday, is mail delivered today?</p>
<p>Actually I just got my acceptance! I was so nerveous too, because I kept expecting to get the letter yesterday and forgetting it was a holiday. I hope things went well for you and everyone else who went</p>
<p>I got into bard too</p>
<p>congrats to those who got in! bard is AWESOME.</p>
<p>i got in too! i did idp on the 13th. so pumped!</p>
<p>Does anyone know what percentage of IDP candidates get accepted?</p>
<p>^^ approx 60%.</p>
<p>Doing the IDP work, showing interest, and obviously having good grades and (optional) scores, makes for a strong candidate.</p>
<p>Most people look at those required IDP readings and say “um, I don’t think so.” Those who say “yeah, this looks interesting, what a great concept” are the kind of people Bard looks for.</p>
<p>Thanks for the information. My son just got his acceptance letter----very relieved. This whole college admissions game nerve-racking.</p>
