Ph.D in biology?? you’d love this school. The one thing that binds sarah lawrence together is that everyone has a passion for learning. During parties, you’ll hear about papers and classes that people are taking… it’s nerdy like that.

When you saw the biology options at sarah lawrence, also be aware that it is a tiny school. 8 classes with about 14 kids each is a large department.

downside: sarah lawrence does not prepare you for standardized tests, so you’ll have to study for the MCAT/GED by yourself.

upside: Med schools/ Grad schools love Sarah Lawrence kids. You must be aware of conference work (if not, it’s a 20+ page paper for each one of your [3] classes), and that would prepare you for writing papers on biology. In many other state schools, you’d be taking a lot of tests & not be prepped for grad school papers.

I hope this helps!
