Hi I’m very interested in Bard College and I’m pursuing the arts (I also plan on pursuing other things like history and english). My GPA is a 3.76 and I got a 31 on the ACT. I have heard only good things about the academics at Bard but I am confused because the average accepted GPA there is a 3.5 and the average ACT is a 27. I don’t want to sell myself short, so why does Bard have such low scores with such a seemingly great reputation?
