<p>From what I’ve heard/read, it depends on your employer. You need an employer who is willing to fill up paperwork and do a lot of other tedious stuff for the h1 visa to get you to work for them. Obviously, this will be quite difficult, especially since MHC grants undergraduate liberal arts degrees (Well unless you can totally wow the pants off a recruiter somehow, and even then it isn’t guaranteed that you’ll get a visa). You’ll have a much higher chance if you’ve done grad school/PhD (because, hey, everyone prefers academic people to undergraduates).</p>
<p>-I’m an international student too, and I had a similar query, so I looked this up.</p>
<p>I did know about MHC being the first of the Seven Sisters. But I thought that ‘the Seven Sisters being the female equivalent of the Ivy League’ was in the past.</p>
<p>@enere: the 5 sisters are still considered to be equivalent to the Ivy League’s today, because of the amazing education they give to their students!</p>
<p>Oh I have no doubt that they provide amazing education, I just didn’t think that people still viewed the Seven Sisters as the equivalent of the Ivy League. I mean, liberal arts colleges themselves aren’t very well known nowadays, so I didn’t think that people thought of the SSs and the ILs in one breath.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am studying abroad in a MHC approved program. MHC generally doesn’t grade on a scale. Occasionally professors will curve exams, or make things easier or harder depending on the class average. However it isn’t like most non-American systems where an A is extremely rare and a C is average. I believe the average grade is somewhere around a B, and like most LAC or higher ranked schools, grade inflation does exist.</p>
<p>D attends MHC. From how she talks about her classes and the depth of her studies, which includes intensive reading, writing, and analyzing, I’d say kuredzz echoes my daughter’s assessment. D has had fabulous opportunities and she’s only finishing her second year. Truth be told, the education and what you get out of it will be, in large part, a result of how vigorously you go after the opportunities-and opportunities abound at MHC.</p>
