Bard's DSS award is one of the toughest things in the world to get. You should be extremely proud of that accomplishment!
I do not know specifically about biology, but as stratmom said, for the past five years or so, Bard has been ramping up science and math, making it a go-to school for scientists who also have a love for the arts.
A high percentage of grads continue on to grad school. You should contact the chairperson of biology and have a sit-down....or an e-mail, since you're from afar.
