<p>Lol circuitrider, please do not assume that I’m applying to Bard. Bard would be an amazing school to go to (it’s quite like Vassar in terms of the social atmosphere and like Reed in terms of the coursework) but Bard’s financial aid policy is probably one of the WORST amongst liberal arts colleges (besides, applying EA would simply solve the problem, wouldn’t it? I could just apply ED to Vassar and EA to Bard and either way, I’d be good.) Wesleyan does not allow internationals to apply ED if they need aid.</p>
<p>vell28, my test scores in math and critical reading were below their 25th percentile scores. Surely that must have affected my decision due to the competition. I know test scores aren’t everything, but we all know they can break an application. This year, I think I would be at a threshold where test scores won’t matter and where the rest of my application will matter much more. It “feels” right to reapply ED, but I don’t know if it’s rational and if not, whether or not that emotional decision can be salvaged in case things fall through.</p>
<p>Anyway, are you a student there? How are you liking it? :)</p>
