| One thing to make note of -- VES classes, while amaaazing from what I hear and v. financially supportive of artists buying materials!, are usually during what I would call prime class times, and generally go on for much longer than a regular class. While, this is expected, but someone who isn't looking for THAT much of a commitment, it's a bit of a turn off.
On the other hand, we do have a few ceramics and figure drawing classes on campus, and some of the houses have pottery studios and dark rooms of their own.
Ultimately, it comes down to how certain it is you want to be a doctor. One of my blockmates who I thought was prepped and ready for the doctor-route has declared earlier in her sophomore year that she "isn't sure." And a lot of people at Harvard do pre-med and aren't bio/chem majors. (Keep in mind this is a packed course load.) For instance, I know this amazing social studies concentrator who's premed and just recently did the Boston Marathon! |
