This was super helpful! Thank you sm ❤️❤️
you are welcome~~~ ㅎㅎ
wow this is so helpful!! i know a lot of people who are looking at colleges will definitely need this!!
hehe thank youuuu 🙈☺️
I wasn’t initially considering, but I now have done research and found really great pre-med programs. I’m particularly interested in Amherst, Williams, Bowdoin, Bates, and Colgate. These schools have high standards so a bit nervous. I have gotten 6 B’s and 1 C but have a good amount of A’s. I have great EC’s and have rigor.
this was so informative!! 🤩
thanks annette! :)
Love this!! 🤩🤩
love YOU! ur up next 😉
Whoa your editing is so aesthetic!

super helpful as a HS senior !!
Aw I’m glad to hear that it was helpful! Best of luck with your apps :)
Hey, I'm not sure if you're still checking these comments but I was admitted to both Wesleyan and Vassar as a junior transfer and am trying to decide between them. Right now I'm on the fence but leaning Wes as it's closer to home and I hear Vassar has less in the way of night life. I'd love to hear your take as an alum on the campus culture of Vassar though.
you all seem so kind!! I love you all beautiful souls
aw thank you !! 🤧😁
Super helpful as a rising senior!! So stressed out
You got this !!! 💪🏼
@@heyalexaa thank you!!❤️
rly nice video!! one thing i did notice, is that you guys said 'smaller class sizes' as one of the pro's. would you say that those smaller classes also take away some of your freedom, or maybe even make the college experience more like highschool (compared to other non lac)?
i think it depends on how you see it? everything we are saying in the video is all subjective and id say based on my experience, i did enjoy small classes and prefer small class to big lectures bc I am a type of person who learns better through small-group discussions! but I do see where you are coming from and I think it's possible to feel that way in small classes :) and yes it is kinda like high school in many ways 😂
such a cute video!!! ❤️🥰
sucha cute ThuMbNAiL !!!! 🤩
More students should apply to Liberal Arts Colleges!!!!!!
agreeed!! 😁
Not if you want a well paying job.
@@michaelcap9550 That's just a myth! :)
@@michaelcap9550 you can get a well paying job after graduating from a liberal arts college.
@O H There are plenty of amazing liberal arts colleges (couch cpugh, Harvard, Pamona, Williams, etc.). What really matters is the degree and experience.
Great video! I'm planning on applying to all 3 in a few weeks. If you don't mind sharing, what were your academics like?
I can't speak for others, but I did IB Diploma which was essentially my GPA (predicted score during the first semester of senior year was 44/45), took the old SAT and three SAT subject tests (two language and math). Keep in mind that wesleyan and vassar along with many other colleges dropped standardized testing requirements (great news !!!)
Hi Alex! Can you make a video about Vassar College? Like the pros and cons of attending Vassar :D
Thanks! It was a nice video :)
I will try to make one before summer ends 😅 thanks for ur suggestion :)
@@heyalexaa Okaa :D
if you're comfortable talking about it, what were your stats applying to LAC? great video! :)
if you have an instagram, please message me @vassarlife and we can talk more about the stats and other details you may be curious about!
Thanks from the Vassar Class of 1976!
Thanks for watching my video !!! ☺️☺️
I want to become an anesthesiologist, would you recommend me going into a liberal art college ?
sorry, just saw this! I am afraid that I do not have a good answer for this :/ I recommend looking around on the internet and you may be able to find useful resources :)
Love lac’s my son is a senior at Swarthmore
♥️♥️
Pretentious and extremely expensive colleges. This was written by someone who is going to tufts but also got into vassar.
전 지금 주니어인데 바사 컬리지 .. 제 드림스쿨이에요ㅠㅠ 실례가안된다면 혹시 고등학교때 gpa가 어떻게되셨는지 여쭐수있을가요..?
제 고등학교는 IBDP 를 했어서 시니어 이어때 predicted score 이 곧 제 gpa 였는데 전 45점 만점에 44점 받았습니다 :)

Cutieeee 🤩🤩🤩
😉😉😚😚
do you believe that going to an LAC is a good idea if you want to do pre-med? i heard smaller classes and all are good when it comes to professors getting to know you better.
yes I think that LAC is an even better option for those who are on pre-professional tracks (pre-med, pre-law). I personally do not have any idea how med/law school applications work but I have met so many students who are pre-med at vassar! I do recommend reaching out to current pre-med students at liberal arts colleges and hear about their experiences. I have a friend at vassar who is pre-med and also a youtuber !! check her out: czcams.com/channels/7237KV7At6FdSpu3QTdbgw.htmlfeatured
Thanks for having me hehehehehe

지원양 안녕하세요. 제 딸 아이도 웨슬리언에 입학, 코로나로 첫 학기는 집에서 보내고, 둘째 학기부터 학교로 갔어요(올 2월). 우연찮게 유툽 보다가 웨슬리언 스윁셔츠에 반가운 마음에 댓글 남기고 갑니다. 늘 건강히, 남은 4학년 생활 즐겁길 바랍니다.
@@jmayaj 안녕하세요~ 댓글 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 코로나 때문에 신입생들을 만날 기회가 없어서 아쉬워하고 있었는데 혹시 연락처를 받을수 있으면 한번 만나서 점심이라도 같이 먹고싶네요 ㅎㅎ 건강하세요!

I still don't rlly get what "Liberal arts" mean..can anybody explain to me? Does it have anything to do with like actual art?
liberal arts refer to academic subjects such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social and physical sciences, that are distinct from professional and technical subjects :))
How “liberal" liberal art college are? cus I read from both perspectives(conservative & liberal) and I agree with both sides of some of their point，and I love to share my thought on politic. Would I be too conservative for a liberal art college?
Hi! thank you for your question :) I think it's amazing that you read sources from both political standpoints! I cannot speak for every liberal arts college in the US, but based on my personal experiences at vassar, I do feel that the general student body is definitely more left leaning than the other way. If you want to get a better sense of the students' stance on politics, I recommend looking up and reading some of the news articles/op-eds written by the students of the schools you are interested in! here's the link to the vassar one miscellanynews.org/
@@heyalexaa thank you so much🤗
where liberal arts students find a job?
I want to be an engineer. Is the LAC good for this major?
hi! so there's no right or wrong answer but typically most liberal arts colleges do not have structured engineering programs/majors to my knowledge. if you know as a high school student that engineering is definitely what you want to pursue, I'd personally recommend looking into bigger universities with engineering programs! I do want to say though some liberal arts colleges offer accelerated/dual degree programs that allow students to take some engineering-specific courses at another institution (vassar has one with dartmouth!) it requires a lot of research but if you want to take classes from multiple disciplines and also study engineering at the same time, you might want to look into programs like this :) hope this helps!
I would advice you to do some research. There are some LAC which have good partnership with Engineering school to have first track program. That way you can have best of both worlds.
Hi
bring the crew backkkk
Ok, good, economics is the only liberal arts major that makes since, others will find it very difficult to find employment.
Not necessarily.
You might be mistaken with Liberal Arts College with Liberal Arts majors. Many LAC has myriad of majors including Sciences and Computer Science. Pretty much the same typical majors as you will find in big universities. The main difference would be in LAC, you are allowed and even encourage to explore other interest beside your major.
@@yanwinaung8111 no confusion, you are correct however, of these three, the gentlemen to the right is majoring in economics. the average starting salary for economics majors are higher then finance and accounting. and the mid career average is a little north of 100k. The other two are in the arts. I am concerned about young people these days because they go to school for these useless degrees and find out after all that work and student loans at this expensive school means nothing in the real world. the best job they can get only pays 40k with 5 and 10yrs experience.
I have a friend who studied history at middlebury and now works at Goldman Sachs.
I agree with you - it is not easy to find jobs with a non-stem/econ/business degree. I can't even begin to count the number of times I have regretted my decision to major in a non-stem major 😅 You are actually posing a question to a greater social phenomenon in education and US workforce (e.g. the shifting employment trends towards STEM jobs, the ever-increasing wage gap and employment demand between stem and non-stem majors) and that is something that I am also interested in exploring! While I do have many reservations about my humanities degree at a liberal arts college, I absolutely loved my experience at vassar - made lifelong friendships, met phenomenal professors, and learned so many things about the world that I may not have had access to otherwise. But thanks for sharing your thought and I appreciate your concern and alternative perspective that is just as valuable.
I would like fries with that.
well guess who got into Harvard grad school with the help of liberal arts college education 🥰🥰 wouldn’t have been able to come this far without my vassar education and professors !
@@heyalexaa I hope it works out. Grad school is generally an even worse deal in the liberal arts. Harvard's name will help. Be careful!
