<p>A B average is definitely an accomplishment! I wasn’t so surprised to hear it was only fifty after I gave it some thought. Most students who are smart enough to get in through the bard exam could also get in through the easier general admissions process. I was more surprised that out of those 50 only 17 got a qualifying score. </p>
<p>Well, not that my opinion counts for much,and the decision has probably been made, but if your daughter was motivated enough to finish this application then I think she should submit the common app. It gives her a great opportunity to move on from high school to an intense academic setting more suited to her interests. You could probably get them to give you some more time for recommendations and transcripts, 8 days seems a little unreasonable for that portion. </p>
