Where is everyone from? (and such)

<p>I am from NYC, and i am thinking about studying History, Art History, Architecture, or Astronomy (in Haverford). =)</p>

<p>I'm from the UK, but at currently studying at a University in Northern Ireland. I'm interested in majoring in English & Spanish. Has anyone had an interview?</p>

<p>I didn't, I kind of wished I did but it's okay! I found out about Bryn Mawr extremely late (like in early december). So I didn't get a chance to physically see it, my cousin whom goes there now persuaded me into applying. :)</p>

<p>Unfortunately I applied too late to get an interview as well, I just hope it doesn't hurt my chances too much</p>

<p>I had an on-campus interview. It went pretty well, I'd say, nothing truly spectacular but nothing awful either. It didn't really change my perceptions of Bryn Mawr--I still know it's a pretty awesome place!</p>

<p>wzlylover, I was also thinking Astronomy in Haverford too! :)</p>

<p>your from Romania??? my big brother lives in Satu Mare by the hungarian border</p>

<p>A little bit of advice for the future astrophysicists and astronomers. Haverford offers a number of astronomy classes in the fall, but they are watered-down classes for non-science majors who need a div II credit. If you like physics and you think you might want to major or minor in astrophysics or astronomy, you should take a class called Freshman Seminar in Astrophysics offered in the spring. It's the prerequisite for all upper-level astronomy and astrophysics classes. It's only worth half a credit though because it is meant to be taken along with regular physics and math, and the astronomy department knows that freshmen also have to take a few non-science classes :)</p>

<p>b@r!um, what do you mean that the astronomy classes are "watered down"? Isn't Astronomy recognized as a significant major if we get a degree from Haverford or is it just for the freshman that it is "watered down"? :o</p>

<p>I am sorry for being ambiguous. Many departments, especially in the sciences, offer classes for non-majors. All introductory astronomy classes offered in the fall semester are targeted at non-science majors. The first class in the astronomy and astrophysics sequence for majors is the Freshman Seminar, which is offered in the spring semester. I was just trying to say, "Don't take an astronomy class in your first semester because you would be disappointed." The major itself is an excellent program!</p>

<p>thnx for elaborating :)</p>

<p>I'm from new jersey in a small town like 1 mile by one mile. It's pretty boring, but I'm excited that Philly in only 20 miles away from BMC.</p>
