@O H There are plenty of amazing liberal arts colleges (couch cpugh, Harvard, Pamona, Williams, etc.). What really matters is the degree and experience.
I wasn’t initially considering, but I now have done research and found really great pre-med programs. I’m particularly interested in Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Bates, and Colgate. These schools have high standards so a bit nervous. I have gotten 6 B’s and 1 C but have a good amount of A’s. I have great EC’s and have rigor.

Hey, I'm not sure if you're still checking these comments but I was admitted to both Wesleyan and Vassar as a junior transfer and am trying to decide between them. Right now I'm on the fence but leaning Wes as it's closer to home and I hear Vassar has less in the way of night life. I'd love to hear your take as an alum on the campus culture of Vassar though.
rly nice video!! one thing i did notice, is that you guys said 'smaller class sizes' as one of the pro's. would you say that those smaller classes also take away some of your freedom, or maybe even make the college experience more like highschool (compared to other non lac)?
i think it depends on how you see it? everything we are saying in the video is all subjective and id say based on my experience, i did enjoy small classes and prefer small class to big lectures bc I am a type of person who learns better through small-group discussions! but I do see where you are coming from and I think it's possible to feel that way in small classes :) and yes it is kinda like high school in many ways 😂
My daughter, the Valedictorian, will be applying there as her first choice school. 140 iq, Korean American. I am hoping she will be a pre med major but I want her to choose her own major.
I can't speak for others, but I did IB Diploma which was essentially my GPA (predicted score during the first semester of senior year was 44/45), took the old SAT and three SAT subject tests (two language and math). Keep in mind that wesleyan and vassar along with many other colleges dropped standardized testing requirements (great news !!!)
sorry, just saw this! I am afraid that I do not have a good answer for this :/ I recommend looking around on the internet and you may be able to find useful resources :)
liberal arts refer to academic subjects such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences, that are distinct from professional and technical subjects :))
do you believe that going to an LAC is a good idea if you want to do pre-med? i heard smaller classes and all are good when it comes to professors getting to know you better.
yes I think that LAC is an even better option for those who are on pre-professional tracks (pre-med, pre-law). I personally do not have any idea how med/law school applications work but I have met so many students who are pre-med at vassar! I do recommend reaching out to current pre-med students at liberal arts colleges and hear about their experiences. I have a friend at vassar who is pre-med and also a youtuber !! check her out: th-cam.com/channels/7237KV7At6FdSpu3QTdbgw.htmlfeatured
How “liberal" liberal art college are? cus I read from both perspectives(conservative & liberal) and I agree with both sides of some of their point，and I love to share my thought on politic. Would I be too conservative for a liberal art college?
Hi! thank you for your question :) I think it's amazing that you read sources from both political standpoints! I cannot speak for every liberal arts college in the US, but based on my personal experiences at vassar, I do feel that the general student body is definitely more left leaning than the other way. If you want to get a better sense of the students' stance on politics, I recommend looking up and reading some of the news articles/op-eds written by the students of the schools you are interested in! here's the link to the vassar one miscellanynews.org/

hi! so there's no right or wrong answer but typically most liberal arts colleges do not have structured engineering programs/majors to my knowledge. if you know as a high school student that engineering is definitely what you want to pursue, I'd personally recommend looking into bigger universities with engineering programs! I do want to say though some liberal arts colleges offer accelerated/dual degree programs that allow students to take some engineering-specific courses at another institution (vassar has one with dartmouth!) it requires a lot of research but if you want to take classes from multiple disciplines and also study engineering at the same time, you might want to look into programs like this :) hope this helps!
I would advice you to do some research. There are some LAC which have good partnership with Engineering school to have first track program. That way you can have best of both worlds.
You might be mistaken with Liberal Arts College with Liberal Arts majors. Many LAC has myriad of majors including Sciences and Computer Science. Pretty much the same typical majors as you will find in big universities. The main difference would be in LAC, you are allowed and even encourage to explore other interest beside your major.

I agree with you - it is not easy to find jobs with a non-stem/econ/business degree. I can't even begin to count the number of times I have regretted my decision to major in a non-stem major 😅 You are actually posing a question to a greater social phenomenon in education and US workforce (e.g. the shifting employment trends towards STEM jobs, the ever-increasing wage gap and employment demand between stem and non-stem majors) and that is something that I am also interested in exploring! While I do have many reservations about my humanities degree at a liberal arts college, I absolutely loved my experience at vassar - made lifelong friendships, met phenomenal professors, and learned so many things about the world that I may not have had access to otherwise. But thanks for sharing your thought and I appreciate your concern and alternative perspective that is just as valuable.
well guess who got into Harvard grad school with the help of liberal arts college education 🥰🥰 wouldn’t have been able to come this far without my vassar education and professors !

Liberal arts degrees are awesome if you have a skill specific minor or you can take skill specific classes for your last 20 or 30 credits.
this was so informative!! 🤩
thanks annette! :)
Hi Alex! Can you make a video about Vassar College? Like the pros and cons of attending Vassar :D

Pretentious and extremely expensive colleges. This was written by someone who is going to tufts but also got into vassar.

Ok, good, economics is the only liberal arts major that makes since, others will find it very difficult to find employment.
Not necessarily.
You might be mistaken with Liberal Arts College with Liberal Arts majors. Many LAC has myriad of majors including Sciences and Computer Science. Pretty much the same typical majors as you will find in big universities. The main difference would be in LAC, you are allowed and even encourage to explore other interest beside your major.
