<p>I don’t know if this experience was unique. I was talking to a friend yesterday and she mentioned her niece graduated from Wellesley (LAC) with a major in neuroscience and biology. The degree she received was a Bachelor of Arts. Wellesley is very tough on grades and niece had a 3.6X GPA. She didn’t get into any med school in US and my friend said she encountered difficulties all over the world because of the degree designation, esp. in Australia and England. She was only wait listed at UBC in Canada but did get in. Admissions offices question the Bachelor of Art designation. Right now her niece is doing a Masters at Columbia in a related field and hope to apply to med school again after graduation. </p>
<p>My friend said in retrospect, her niece would have been better off going to a regular university in terms of applying to med school.</p>
