<p>Is there anyone here who has done cross-registration with MIT? How was it?
Do you think it was worth it?
Did you take any of the classic MIT freshman intro courses, or was it mostly upper level stuff?
How would you compare Wellesley science classes with MIT science classes, or is there really no comparison?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yep. I thought the class was great. It was small, five students including myself... and all-women. So not your typical cross-reg experience. But totally worth it.
The class was a grad-level course, which of itself meant it was incomparable to ANY class I had ever taken, so I can't compare, even though it was a science class.</p>
<p>Can we take courses at MIT when we're freshmen?</p>
<p>(from Wellesley)</p>
<p>Only in second semester.</p>
<p>and what classed do they usually offer? can we take courses at MIT even if we do not major in anything scientific?</p>
<p>I think so! You can definitely take any random class at Olin you'd like to. In fact, one of my friends is taking a comparative lit class there next semester, "When Harry Met Frodo," about Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings.</p>
<p>Yeah, plus you can have MIT courses count for your major. yay! There are so many courses in non-science things at MIT that I'm sure you'd find something great. For example, 24.900 is Intro to Linguistics at MIT, and it is very popular.</p>
<p>There is a 5-year double BA/SB thing between MIT -and- Wellesley (check the Registrar page on the website), but it's only for engineering and architecture at MIT.</p>
<p>Here's the link to the BA/SB program: MIT</a> Double Degree Info Sheet</p>
<p>Urban Studies and Planning is a MIT major I forgot to add as well.</p>
<p>Do you know how many students a year typically do the five-year BA/BA program? Apply for it? Are accepted?
Thanks</p>
<p>I think there was something they wrote on the MIT website about certain courses like the prereq for Linguistics that said it was "MDASS" or "MHASS" or something like that (can't say I remember honestly) but it meant that the class had a lottery system for entrance--where do Wellesley students fall in those lottery systems?</p>
<p>Sorry for the enormous run-on sentence.</p>
<p>My faculty advisor (who is funny enough .. the first year dean of students) said that we would most likely be accepted for the 5 year program provided we are in good academic standing. That probably means 3.5+ college GPA, which is incredibly hard I might add.</p>
