<p>Well! This certainly gives me some food for thought and drive to write. A sole admissions requirement that is so substantive and original is an audacious and forward-looking move for Bard, and further raises my already high opinion of their institution. This news has found me at an important juncture in my academic life and strikes me almost as a fateful challenge that I have been called upon to meet. It could potentially shift the course of my life, not only for the next few months, but perhaps even for the next four to six years. Thanks for keeping us informed, SpiritManager.</p>
