<p>so i applied to bard college early action and i wasn't expecting to hear back yet, but i came home and found a large envelope mailed first class from the bard office of admissions. when i opened it, it was just a catalog with no kind of cover letter or anything, which would be weird even if i wasn't waiting for decisions. i'm really confused and frustrated (and i tried to call the admissions office to find out more but they didn't pick up...) so does anyone have any idea of what might be going on here?</p>
<p>Were you on the Bard mailing list before you applied? If so, I’d bet that the catalog was sent to thousands of students this week. You would have gotten it whether you were EA, RD, or decided not to apply at all.</p>
<p>I’m sure I was, so that’s probably it. I’m just super annoyed that after acknowledging that they got my application, they sent me a large envelope which kind of suggests something…</p>
