Any guesses on when they’ll release the update on decisions?

4

Someone in my kid’s school announced today that they have committed to Bard, but I’m guessing it was through IDP or another program like POSSE? I haven’t seen any ED or EA decisions mentioned. We are waiting for EA and hoping it will come before the holiday break.

Yes, I haven’t seen anything either. I beleive it was released on the 14th for the last two years. But, this year it’s a weekend on the 14th, so hopefully, it’s going to happen on the 13th.

Has anyone heard about when Bard will release EA decisions?

I think if it’s not happening today, the decisions should be released early next week. Do they send any emails before releasing or is it just an update to the portal?

We just noticed on the CSS profile confirmation page that it says Bard’s financial aid decisions will be released 12/18 for EA. Guessing that is the date?

Ughh, the wait is so long.

Don’t they send the financial aid package later? But anyway, that would leave just today or tomorrow. Crossing fingers!

I replied in more detail in PM as well but want to say here so that people aren’t expecting the worse–they met need to our sai. We just have some unique circumstances that make our sai unrealistic. But once upon a time my husband and I were awarded very generous scholarships to attend Bard so I know they can be very generous in certain situations. I will be hoping for acceptances and excellent finacial aid packages for all!
