<p>In my Ds’ experience, Wellesley will make a good case for their excellent network advantages through their alumnae. I don’t doubt it’s true. They will also be very defensive of their ability to get graduates into graduate/professional programs. I think either school will get you where you want to go and Wellesley has an impressive science facility for a school of its size. Your question is best asked of specific faculty at both schools and don’t be afraid to contact the department directly. I found both schools ready and willing to help my D determine what was best for her. The philosophy is totally different (and W offered a helluva lot more money!), but if you keep asking these intelligent questions you’ll get a good sense of which school is truly interested in you as opposed to convincing you of how strong their reputation is. </p>
<p>Might I suggest, to echo km5, if your interest runs to the SLC-type of school you might also consider Bard College (I have a D at Bard, as well) and their current science initiative which is exemplified in a newly opened facility. You’d be a star at Bard where excellence in the sciences is a new priority. It can’t hurt to check it out: <a href=“http://science.bard.edu/reem-kayden/[/url]”>http://science.bard.edu/reem-kayden/</a> and here: [Bard</a> Neuroscience](<a href=“http://inside.bard.edu/academic/programs/psych/area_neuro/index.shtml]Bard”>http://inside.bard.edu/academic/programs/psych/area_neuro/index.shtml).</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
