Anonymous asked: This question is specifically for Kate. I noticed that you're a vegan and love to cook/bake, which is exactly like me!

Anonymous asked: Hi there! I got accepted to Bennington EA (yay!!!) and I'm pretty sure (like 90%) that I want to go to Med School after undergrad. I know you have a fabulous postbac program, but what is being a pre-med student like as an undergrad?

Anonymous asked: Bennington College, I feel nostalgic about a place I have never visited. I hope that my application will not be a shout into the void.
