| The best all-women's colleges get press when they are included in the US News top LAC rankings, but that's about it. I notice when CC posters start a "Predict next year's rankings," they usually omit the women's colleges as though they don't qualify. (That's usually to make room for favorites that aren't yet on the list.) I, too, would like to see them become more high profile. I suspect that it will happen since next year's applications promise to be even more competitive than this year's. Women will be searching for the best education they can get.
I really have to thank my d's guidance counselor for making us think of the all-women's colleges in addition to the co-eds. My d and I were talking earlier today about some of the mistakes we made in the application process - certain colleges she didn't consider or look at, applications that weren't filed because she was tired of them, too many safety schools, etc - but we concluded that, in the end, she still might have chosen Smith. |
