Wow - pretty impressive information. As you probably know, the admissions director of Kenyon College wrote that Op-Ed piece in the NYTimes recently, apologizing to all of the women she rejected. Personally, I think her real MO was to brag about Kenyon's improved admission rate and increase its prestige in the national community (few on the East or West Coasts have heard of Kenyon --what better way to get free advertising?) Anyway, my point is that the admissions director or President of Smith (or another women's college) should write another Op-Ed piece and publicize these powerful statistics. I bet with a little national press the applications to the women's colleges would soar. Especially now that women know that they are discriminated against in the college process (at many highly selective LAC).
