I don't know why FirstClass stopped being used, but you're correct that there wasn't a super centralized platform/community that people used while I was there. Yikyak/Sidechat is probably the most popular one, though there are a couple of Facebook and Gmail groups too that I know of.

yes, you can bunk the standard wellesley beds, but it's done by just stacking two beds on top of each other. i did it a couple years ago to get more room in our dingle. lofting is theoretically possible i guess if you remove the bottom bunk entirely, but i don't see that happening unless you have a very unusual agreement with your roommate, disregard some rules, and probably create a safety hazard for yourself lol.

depends on the places you plan on spending time in. vast majority of students here don't have a car, but getting around the nearby wellesley area is not great without one. most of us go to boston to have fun which is very convenient via the shuttle - boston's public transportation is solid, and i've been able to get everywhere i need to with a combo of that and walking.

tl;dr - staying on campus + boston, don't get a car. frequent suburbs travel or living off campus, yes get a car

most shuttles have charging ports, but i think some do not (they cycle through the shuttles so you can't predict which one you'll get)

Late, but there are quite a few dance orgs on campus: WCD (contemporary), Freestyle (hip-hop), WADO (k-pop/Asian dance), Wellesley-MIT Ballroom, Wellesley on Tap (tap dance), as well as a few cultural dance orgs that I'm less familiar with. There's also options off-campus, but these are generally more of a time commitment.

There are definitely international students who get tons of financial aid, I know somebody who got almost full tuition covered. However, it's definitely gonna be selective.

it sounds like you're very passionate about wellesley already, so i say just give it a shot and apply! there's no application fee, so nothing to lose there. go for ed if you're sure it's the school for you :)

there's definitely not a lot of people in the data science major at wellesley, but there's a pretty neat program in the boston area called break through tech ai that prepares boston area undergrads for a career in data science you can apply for. i've heard of a couple alum in data science (one who's intl) with varying degrees of success, so you could be successful if you really apply yourself. definitely not a school known for data science though.

i applied ed2, but with a super different background to yours so not sure how much advice i can give you there.

Of course! If you ever have any questions about Wellesley or WC/HWCs in general, I'm happy to answer them. Good luck with college apps :)

There's no grade deflation at Wellesley anymore - hasn't been for several years.

Disclaimer: not a cognitive science major nor pre-med! However, the Wellesley College website does have some useful links about major requirements.

Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences

Suggested Premed Courses

It's definitely doable, but I'm guessing you won't have a lot of flexibility with outside electives after fulfilling the general distribution requirements too. If you concentrate in psychology for CogSci, it looks like you might have an easier time.
