<p>Hi, I was wondering which graduate schools are popular for wellesley students?</p>
<p>How</a> to Succeed? Go to Wellesley - New York Times</p>
<p>This article talks about popular business schools for Wellesley grads.</p>
<p>I am really curious about that question too. Hopefully some Wellesley grads will reply.</p>
<p>Graduate school is a funny thing. What programs are the "good" ones depends wholly on the field of study. My major wasn't a common one, ergo "popular" means two students I know went to a school. I can name Wellesley students at top schools, like Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Caltech and MIT who are doing Business, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Writing, more Chemistry and Planetary Science. With grad school, it's the subject, not the place that comes first.</p>
<p>I applied to 10 graduate programs, got into 7 and would say only one of those schools had any sort of "snob" value. Incidentally, I'm going to that school, but my second choice was New Mexico State. No, that doesn't pack as much of a punch as saying "I'm a PhD student at MIT", but NMSU was one of the best schools I had discovered.</p>
<p>If you have vaguest idea of what you might want to study in graduate school, often times the department website for an appropriate major will have an "alumnae" page, which will tell you where all the alumnae (or at least the ones who answer email) are now.</p>
<p>Here are my two cents on looking towards grad school</p>
<p>The education you get at Wellesley will put you in a position to gain admission to graduate school, medschool, whatever, provided you prepare yourself. Don't choose a college based on your ideal grad school, go to the college that has what you want to study now.</p>
<p>Use the idea of grad school as a jumping off point toward asking the right questions and choosing your first courses. Set yourself up right "just in case", the forget about it and enjoy college and try new things. People often find surprise majors and surprise career paths, and surprise subjects that turn out to be their thing. I was one of them.</p>
<p>Thanks, Would you say that it is extremely competitive to get into a top law school from Wellesley?</p>
<p>Wellesley's acceptance rate for law schools is nearly 85%, way above the national average. Of course, it's harder to get into a more competitive school (that's why their more competitive), but Wellesley students get in.</p>
