<p>^ I read my acceptance e-mail:
Then I read about the Distinguished Scientist Scholarship on Bard’s website: [Scholarships</a> | Bard](<a href=“http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/scholarships.shtml]Scholarships”>http://www.bard.edu/admission/finances/scholarships.shtml). If that doesn’t indicate I’m a recipient, it would be a cruel joke…</p>
<p>^^ Thanks for the suggestions! I’ve been looking at the 3-2 programs, and they appear to be very fitting. However, I’m a bit put off by having to leave my friends to go off and make new ones at another college, and also by the fact that I hear these programs are more marketing plots than paths actually taken… I’ll definitely consider it though, if I end up at Bard or Wesleyan!</p>
<p>Another question for the masses:
Is Wesleyan worth $40-50k more than Bard for physics and economics?</p>
<p>I’ve read that Wes is a lot stronger than the other LACs in research because of their graduate programs, but is it really worth that much money??</p>
