<p>Wesleyan Minuses (as far as OP is concerned):</p>
<p>I think that where you find the degree of student activism that you do at a place like Wesleyan, you’re also going to find a pretty sick party scene. You can avoid it pretty easily but it’s there, nonetheless.</p>
<p>I strongly suspect that there is some pre-med screening at all LACs. I know at Wesleyan they have something like a pre-med recomendation letter which is highly sought after. There’s no rule that says, you can’t apply to med school without one. I’m just sayin’…</p>
