<p>And similarly to zoltankemeny, how hard is it to meet girls?</p>

<p>Uhhhh not as hard as meeting guys.</p>
<p>I know my heart is into Wellesley, but the rigor of courses is quite intimidating to me. I'm an english major-- could someone give me the low-down of just how hard it is to keep up, especially if I plan on participating in choral and/or a cappella activities?</p>

<p>Very do-able, although I believe that choir will be more of a time commitment than an a capella group.</p>
<p>Well it looks like I got rejected from my top school so Wellesley is looking mighty good right now...keep up the responses! I am curious about the life of a Wellesley girl.</p>

<p>Don't be intimidated by the academic rigor</p>
<p>Bah--the session timed out while I was trying to retype the post. Sorry about the previous message.</p>

<p>Don't be intimidated by the academic rigor! You will need to develop time-management skills, but the average Wellesley student has finely honed procrastination skills. You'll quickly learn the difference between necessary reading and useful reading (which can often be skimmed or sometimes even eliminated). You'll be taking non-English department classes, too, which will help to balance out the types of work you're accomplishing. </p>
<p>Any extra-curricular activities will take time and energy. The choir meets twice a week for 1.5-2 hours each time, with extra rehearsals during the week before concerts. Tours also take more time and preparation, but the group travels to some great destinations. We went to Montreal, England and Wales, California (in January!), and the southern coastal states while I was there, and the group went to Spain shortly after I graduated. They went to Florida over spring break and just got back a few days ago. The point: there's a significant time investment, but it's a rewarding experience with opportunities for travel and collaboration.</p>
<p>I was never in any of the a cappella groups, but my understanding is that the time commitment is similar but with less (or no) touring. The variety of groups gives you a chance to decide what you're really looking for.</p>
<p>What about managing academics and sports?</p>
