Fall 2013 Transfers

Colleges and Universities A-Z Bard College

<p>Hi all!</p>

<p>I’ve seen some previous threads on this subject pertaining to past years. I thought that it would be nice to establish a new thread for 2013, so that we can engage in some discussion and alert others of acceptance(s). I’ve heard that, like many schools, people make friends early-on. It would be cool to get to know some of you who have Bard as their top choice!</p>

<p>On a less relaxed note, I haven’t gotten a letter from admissions yet. This stage of waiting is driving me up a wall! I have been flying through the spectrum between super-confidence to downright paranoia since visiting and interviewing. Previous threads indicate that many individuals received acceptance letters by 4/12, and some didn’t even arrive until 5/1-5/3! I simply can’t fathom another month of this.</p>

<p>Anyhow, I’m focused on Psychology (MBB concentration) as well as Mandarin and music (performance & all aspects) as my chief academic interests. How’s everyone else doing? :p</p>

<p>Hi newwun, it’s so nice to see that there is another Bard College transfer applicant here! My name’s Dani, and I applied as an incoming sophomore & a half! My major is Biology/Psychology and here are my stats:</p>

<p>Current College: California Community College
HS GPA: 3.94 (weighted) / 3.75 (unweighted)
College GPA: 3.75 (4.0 midterm)
SATS: 1730 (not so good :\ I am horrible at standardized testing)
ECS: High school-- Interned at the San Diego Zoo (in the Gorilla habitat), Editor-in-chief for my yearbook, editor for a published book, studied abroad (in Italy, Greece, and Turkey)
College-- Worked 40 hours (full time) while going to school, volunteered at the San Diego County Medical Society (20 hrs/week), Phi Theta Kappa Vice President, volunteered for the San Diego Wildlife National Refuge, volunteered at my college’s museum, and volunteered for the San Diego River. </p>

<p>As for the letters, Bard mails them out on April 15th, so depending where you are, you’ll receive it sometime that week! :slight_smile: May I ask what your stats are? I didn’t interview, I wish I did because it’s a fantastic school! The transfer acceptance rate seems pretty good since it’s around 50%. What other schools did you apply to?</p>
