<p>My appointment with my doctor is tomorrow. But the forms are due tomorrow. So they will probably be a couple of days late, is this a big problem?</p>
<p>How is BioChemistry, Neuroscience, or Biology? If you majored in Biology, are you considered automatically was pre-med? And does anyone know what Wellesley's reputation is in getting students into law school or medical school?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! :)</p>
<p>my health forms are going to be late too (much later than yours, actually, the earliest I could see my doctor is next week). I called up, said the form was going to be in late, they (they being the omniscient health services staff) told me to write and mail (snail mail) a letter saying that it would be late. All in all they were very casual about it--I wouldn't freak if you're a few days late on it.</p>
<p>Haha. That's great. Thanks!</p>
<p>Re: forms</p>
<p>I knew people who didn't turn in their health forms until Orientation. I don't recommend it, but they weren't expelled from the school.</p>
<p>Re: majors</p>
<p>One of my best friends was a Neuroscience major, and she really enjoyed the program. I think it's still an interdepartmental major ... but I think they might have restructured part of it, in the past year or so. At least in the past, each major was assigned an advisor. You could request certain people, but you weren't guaranteed anything.</p>
<p>Also, you aren't considered pre-med unless you say so. Plenty of students major in the sciences with no intention of going to med school. There's a separate advisor for all pre-med students, and you'll probably see announcements for her informational meetings. </p>
<p>Re: acceptance rates</p>
<p>Can't help you. I didn't talk to anyone who was rejected from every med school she applied to, but that's partly because students who seem likely to receive that kind of rejection aren't encouraged to apply. Most of the students applying to medical schools applied to no fewer than 10 institutions, and many applied to more than 20. That's expensive. Very expensive. In the thousands of dollars. There's not much point in investing that much time, effort, and money if the advisor calculates your chances to be approximately nil. (And, yes, it reflects negatively on the school. Pre-anything advising irritates me a bit for that reason.)</p>
<p>The Wellesley website can probably offer you more specific information on acceptance rates, if you dig around a bit.</p>
<p>my health form is going to be late too. i dont even have an appointment yet for the doctor..</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely call the appropriate office and let them know that your forms will be late. It's not a huge deal, but they'd probably like to know that you're on the top of the situation :) (And they can also tell you if you need to do submit anything explaining why the forms are late, etc.)</p>
