Bard Manhattan posted (see screen shot below) that they’re going back to in person assessments this season: https://bhsec.bard.edu/manhattan/admission/assessment/
The past few seasons they’ve had an online assessment which included a humanities writing, STEM, writing, and a short video bio submission. Each of those counted as 30% of their admissions rubric with grades counting as the additional 10%.
Before that the Bards hosted an in person test. Based on results, they then invited some students back for a follow up, in person interview. They didn’t share their admissions rubric.
Info to come about how assessments will work this season.
Note: you only need to do the Bard assessment once. It will be used for admissions to all Bards.
Another note: I track touring info for Bard Manhattan and Bard Queens. There are also Bards in the Bronx and Brooklyn which give priority to students based on districts.
