Good scholarship, ivy league so a lot of connections and opportunities not available from other local colleges, great diversity in the college so I won't feel out of place, close to my home so I can visit my friends and family with ease.

Course Curriculum

9

It is difficult but expected due to the reputation of the college. Students are competitive due to many major courses being based on a curve, which can potentially lead to a conflict of interests. No room to retake classes can allow a class to ruin GPA.

Exams

SAT, Ap Bio 3, Ap Chem 3, Ap Psych 4, Ap Spanish 4, Ib math SL 3, Ib chemistry SL 6, Ib physics 4, Ib psych hl 4, Ib history 5, Ib English 4.

Internship

Yes, but I have not taken yet. $4500 for research during the summer. There were many opportunities to apply, nearly 7 positions were chosen to apply out of hundreds of potential spots. This is specific for freshmen and sophomores.

Fees

Over 70,000 a year for tuition and board. There are technology fees for each school, dining plan fees.

Examination Structure

Exams are based on a curve for most science-based courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics. Chemistry and physics have short answer exams whereas biology is a multiple choice exam. Other electives may have other structures.

Faculty

8

Faculty are well informed and extremely fit for their positions. The top professors are hired, many having notable achievements allowing for intense real-world information to be shared in the classroom setting.
