<p>anyone else get in early yet? i’m still waiting for regular decision, but i love bard, and i’m so thrilled to have been accepted :)</p>
<p>I got in EA! 
I got deferred from my first choice to Feb, so I’ll see what happens with that. I do like Bard though, it’s a great choice to have.</p>
<p>I’m in EA! And I just got flat rejected from my ED school, so unless some RD reach schools snap me up in a couple months, I’ll be there. :)</p>
<p>i just got my bard letter but i also got into my ed school so i will not be attending! good luck with everything</p>
<p>I’m defered…Is Bard especially strict to international student in EA round?</p>
<p>what were you’re ed choices everyone?
I’m just wondering because I also applied EA to Bard and got in, and I really like the school but I was looking for something a bit more challenging and in Vermont so I applied EDII to Middlebury.
I’m on the fence about whether or not I’ll want to go to
Bard if and when I’m rejected from Middlebury.</p>
<p>Not sure where you get the idea that Bard won’t be challenging! Have you really looked into what a Bard education offers??</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You took the words right out of my mouth.</p>
<p>The challenge begins before you even arrive. The L & T course is the only program of its kind in the country.</p>
<p>I have never heard anyone claim Bard wasn’t challenging…indeed, quite the opposite. Somebody in another thread pointed to this as a prime reason for the 88% first year retention rate, and it doesn’t surprise me one bit.</p>
<p>Also, you should read some of the other threads here, particularly a comment that Bard only accepts 5s for AP credit, where most schools accept 4s and even 3s! That alone speaks volumes about the rigor! Frankly, I think you’re mixing prestige with challenge. </p>
<p>That’s not to say that Midd might not be the place you prefer, but to reject Bard for lack of challenge. hmmm…</p>
<p>I got in EA! I just have to visit…</p>
<p>s10, I did EDI to Wesleyan and I’m deferred to EDII. I’m applying to Midd RD too. Good luck with everything, I hope it works out.</p>
<p>I got in IDP! Most likely will be attending unless I get into Oberlin regular decision , then it will be a toss up.</p>
<p>Congrats, everyone! Bard is awesome.</p>
<p>im just between bard (which i already got into) vassar (EDII) and NYU (RD), so we’ll see how that works out</p>
<p>Sorry,
I really got the impression that it was challenging in a different way than a conventional university. I simply meant that getting into Middleury is more challenging for me. I’m still seriously consittering Bard and I liked it a lot.
Does anyone know about overnight visits at all?</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as @kakopesniski, got in EA, but couldn’t make a trip to visit!</p>
<p>“consittering” …****, how did you get in?</p>
