<p>how selective is bard in terms of admisson i haven’t really seen good stats anywhere in terms of selectvity anyone have a link to the CDS?</p>
<p>32% admission rate. This may be a bit deceptive though. It appears that a good deal of the incoming freshmen are accepted either IDP or EA. They accept the vast majority of their IDP applicants (who are highly qualified -son had all sats in 700s) and half of IDPs attend. So there are probably several hundred fewer spots available for "regular admission". Stats from collegeboard.com:</p>
