Bard College has a very holistic admission process. They even have an option where they don’t consider grades and scores at all - instead they ask you to write four 2500 word essays. However, do keep in mind that this is a double degree you’re applying for, so you will be expected to be up to the academic standards as well as the musical ones. The academic standards for you, if accepted and enrolled, will be the same as for all the non music students - you will need to be willing to do a lot of reading, write many essays, matriculate into your major, and complete two separate senior projects - one academic, and one musical. That said, Bard will most definitely take into account your passion for music, and your focus on that during your high school days.
