This morning I went with Sofia to Wellesley College. It's located in a town called (you guessed it) Wellesley in Massachusetts. The town of Wellesley is super adorable (and I have to admit the architecture of the houses and buildings in General is so quaint and colonial. I love it! Regarding Wellesley, it is an all-girls liberal arts college and the campus is huge and very secluded. We did a lot of walking today. It is a very beautiful and nature-y campus with a very strong and rigorous (in a good way!!) academic program. The girls who go here love to learn. It's basically a giant sorority for girls who want to achieve. It's about 30-45 minutes from Boston so, no distractions!! Wellesley also partners with other schools including Babson and MIT so students can take classes at the other universities for credit. I think one could obtain a degree from MIT through Wellesley (but double check on that because I can't quite remember).
After Wellesley we went to Boston College (but Sofia wouldn't take a picture with me; photo creeds to her for this one above!) and the campus was really beautiful. The students here are also very passionate about what they are studying as well as the clubs and activities they are involved with. It had a very enthusiastic vibe. Plus, BC has a chocolate bar! Yum. Even thoug BC has "college" attached to its name, it is a university with several colleges within in, like the schools of management, education, arts and sciences. Please note that the school of management is very popular and that if you even have a remote interest in business (or something related) apply to the school of management. Otherwise you have almost zero chance of transferring from a different school to the school of management.
Both schools use the Common App and a holistic admissions process. They also offer early action (in addition to early decision). I think I am going to apply to BC.
bye for now!
Love, marissa
