<p>Both my D and her friend were offered admission from IDP. My impression was that what mattered was the strength of their applications and interviews. The philosophy class they attend is more of an opportunity for them to get the experience of what classes are like at Bard. But both my D and her friend did read the material before going and participated some in the class.</p>
<p>I highly recommend the IDP application process. It was a great experience and though my D choose not to attend, we both developed great appreciation for the college. It also made her senior year much less stressful, knowing she could attend a great school next fall.</p>
