<p>how is WPI, i know its an engineering school, but does it still have the same standard if you did pre-med. How would med schools view it, </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>anyone know anything about WPI</p>
<p>pleasseeee this is very important to me, and my counsler doesnt help out at all</p>
<p>I've applied there, it looks to be a fairly good school. I don't know anything about the medical dept., though. I pretty much decided that I'm not going to go there, after finding out that you have to pay a fee to take more than 3 classes per term (short, 7 week terms).</p>
<p>It's a good school for engineering, and is ranked quite high- number 53. I don't see how med schools could look down on it. I doubt that many premeds go there. That may be an advantage, or a disadvantage. You should try to visit. It may be a very good place to fulfill premed requirements and also end up with an engineering degree.</p>
<p>One of my good friends is going there and she loves it. She is pre-veternarian, but I can't really tell you much more about WPI.</p>
<p>We visited. The campus was surprisingly VERY compact. The people we met were VERY friendly (but limited since it was summer). The merit aid package was generous. The biggest complaint was the 7 week quarters. One of the professors even complained that it was far too short. If you happen to get sick (or need to go home for a funeral, or have bf / gf problems), you miss far too much in a short absence.</p>
<p>the 7 week quarters, does that mean after 28 weeks you have completed a year? So only half a year of serious learning/studying for half a year vacation???</p>
<p>This year, first day of classes was August 25, last day is May 2. Same as every other school pretty much.</p>
<p>Also, I highly recommend WPI.</p>
