They offered me a full ride; all tuition paid. Don't know whether housing is covered though, waiting for the rest of the details in the mail. So far:

Colby $36K year
BU:$25K year
BC: NA: financial aid office hasn't given me info yet
Bard:All tuition paid, don't know about housing
UMass: Scholarship given but waiting for mail for details
To Bella89: congrats on the scholarship! I believe you mentioned on another thread that you were interested in sciences. Were you awarded one of the "Distinguished Scientist" scholarships? I would be interested to hear your assessment of Bard's new commitment to the sciences. Bard impressed me when I visited in April, but I have some concerns about the depth of the physical science departments. Thanks.
I wasn't aware at the time I applied of the DSS scholarship and when I applied for it (the second round) they had already filled positions. When I visited and saw the new sciences building, it was absolutely beautiful. I am worried about their science department because the sciences aren't a particular "strong point" at Bard but they are doing a lot to change that and bring more opportunities/research work/internships to students. I also plan on applying to medical school and I know last year only five students went on to medical school. So just think of the amount of personal attention sciences students probably get from professors.
