hi! i’m a freshman college student in the northeast and i’ve been researching for schools to transfer to so i know a little!
bard college: Annandale-on-hudson, ny: insanely liberal/intellectual LAC in a gorgeous area (some may not like the location as it can seem isolated), very close to vassar, really good music and pretty good biology program!
“Bard students who apply to medical school have had a 78% placement rate (the national average is 50%). Their scores on the MCAT are equally impressive — a recent report shows that average scores for Bard students are in the 96th percentile or above, and Bard is ranked as one of the top 25 schools in the country for the Verbal Reasoning part of the MCAT” (this is talking about the biology program @ bard)
i also second oberlin and the claremont colleges.
also what kind of school would you prefer? a large school with a big student body, where you are seen as a ‘number’, large class sizes (100+). or a smaller school with a close student body, small class size (20 or less typically) where you are very close to your professors?
a lot of schools listed here are schools people either LOVE or abhor.
