smith vs wellesley

<p>You’re going to need a Wellesley Course Catalog to look at the relevant descriptions, but I believe you can find the equivalent online at Wellesley.edu </p>

<p>Let’s see (I’m procrastinating so this is off the top of my head)</p>

<p>Quantitative Reasoning Basic Skills
-get half the questions right on a 7th grade level math test sans calculator
or
-take QR 140</p>

<p>Quantitaive Reasoning Overlay
-Get a 5 on AP Stats or
-take class marked QR overlay (there are about 9 of these, somehow my major requires 2 of them, even though I got a 5 on the AP Stats $#!@) and make friends with error propogation and Mr. Gauss</p>

<p>Take 3 from these two groups, making sure you get one in each group
Language and Literature
Arts, Musics, Theater, Film and Video</p>

<p>Take 3 from these two groups, making sure you get one in each group, and one (or more) of the science classes has a lab
Mathematical Modelling
Natural and Physical Science</p>

<p>Take Social and Behavioral Analysis</p>

<p>Take 2 from these three groups
Historical Studies
Epistomology and Cognition
Religion Ethics and Moral Philosophy</p>

<p>Writing Class (about 20 themes to choose from, 15 person class)</p>

<p>Foreign Language
-get good SAT II/AP scores
-take 101-102,201-202, or if you bypassed 202, just one 200 level class</p>

<p>Some class that you can consider “Multicultural”, write an essay about, and not have it be your writing class</p>

<p>A Major</p>

<p>4 300-level classes</p>

<p>It sounds like a lot, but really isn’t too bad. The major certainly eats up a good chunk of it, as does trying to take a variety of clases your first year because you’re all excited Wellesley offers linguistics. What it comes out to is the distribution forcing you to take classes that are different or fun that you might have found vaguely interesting in the c. Or making the English people take a couple of math and science classes and the Science people taking some Humanities. Currently, my distribution is forcing me to play with video cameras, the shame and horror.</p>
