<p>my number 1 choice for college is Bard College.</p>
<p>I have recently learned of a program similar to early decision, however, the difference is that you find out whether you are accepted or not within a day.</p>
<p>One day, after completing readings from Plato's Republic, you go to Bard to attend a seminar, have an interview with admissions, and show yourself to the college.</p>
<p>Has anyone participated in a program similar? It sounds very intimidating, and since it's my first choice, I'm considering doing it, but am afraid that the atmosphere with all of the other applicants would be too competitive and...intimidating...</p>
