<p>You don't need to get top marks for Bard...you just need to show them something. Although I've taken the most rigourous courseload at my private school, I've only got a 3.2 and I'm 32/177. However, I made sure to show Bard my talents and gifts and I played my hooks as much as possible. I'm a drummer, I love philosophy, and I'm a nationally ranked high school powerlifter. I'm sure that played a bigger part then my GPA.</p>

<p>Proud Dad, thanks--that really helped.</p>

<p>MLEVINE, your stats don't seem bad at all. Sure, your GPA is below average, but you still have a fairly high class rank. Obviously, your private school has grade deflation, thus affecting your GPA. How were your test scores?</p>

<p>I'm still trying to figure out the typical Bardian, having never visited the campus.</p>

23

<p>I dont think there is a typical Bardian...or I believe thats what they want you to think.</p>

24

<p>I had a 30 ACT and my SATIIs were 680 MI 610 MII 670 LIT.</p>

<p>There isn't a specific Bardian...just a bunch of liberal, free-thinking, highly talented intellectuals.</p>

25

<p>when will the decisions be mailed?</p>

26

<p>Decisions are mailed at the end of March.</p>

<p>I hate evasive answers. What does the "end of March" mean? The 20th? The 25th? the 27th? the 30th? ugh!!</p>

28

<p>i'm with u kev07wan... hate evasive answers... hehe</p>

<p>Better yet, which end? I guess it will have to be this one, 'cause it sure wasn't the other end. Last year's thread on this topic, such that it was, seemed to imply a mailing date of around 3/31 with receipts going well into April, FWIW.</p>
