All the usual stuff: good essays, good grades, goodJul 18 2011Unknown
All the usual stuff: good essays, good grades, good extracurriculars, etc. However, Bard doesn't require standardized test scores, and really does consider the student as a whole person. If you are an interesting and motivated person, but you got a few bad grades in high school, get in contact with your admissions counselor and explain why. Bard admissions counselors really spend a lot of time on their decisions and do their best to look at each applicant as a person rather then just a file (I work in the admissions office as a student tour guide and have seen this firsthand).
SAT: 2180 Female
