Simon's Rock College of Bard

Prep School Admissions

<p>Does anyone know anything about this school?</p>

<p>I read about it a bit, because I considered applying (parents killed that idea…sigh). It’s a pretty extraordinary place. Do you have any specific questions?</p>

<p>Some good general resources: [The</a> Simon’s Rock Wiki](<a href=“http://simonsrock.wikispaces.com/]The”>http://simonsrock.wikispaces.com/), [LiveJournal</a> community for prospective/incoming students](<a href=“http://community.livejournal.com/simonsrock2/]LiveJournal”>http://community.livejournal.com/simonsrock2/), and never underestimate [url=<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon’s_Rock_College]Wikipedia[/url"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon’s_Rock_College]Wikipedia[/url</a>] …</p>

<p>(One thing you may already know, but since you posted in the Prep School forum I wanted to be clear: it’s not really accurate to consider Simon’s Rock a prep school. It’s college - granted, early college, but it’s meant to replace the last two years of high school, so if you are looking for a prep school then it probably isn’t the right place.)</p>

There’s a [Simon’s</a> Rock forum](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=381]Simon’s”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=381), but it doesn’t seem active.</p>

<p>But, if you really want to enter college early, I’d suggest that you apply to college in junior year. At the moment, I am considering that option.</p>
