swiss_mj: don't get all defensive! i'm just talking about realistic chances.... I myself am currently attending Wellesley proudly, but got rejected by HYP and waitlisted at Williams last year. and of course i agree that ppl attending women's colleges are no lesser people! who am i kidding?!
ammarsfound: yes i am feeling extremely worried for my frd, cos' she's my best friend (more like a sister really), plus she's a truly amazing student....it's just a pity that Smith, MHC and Wellesley aren't need-blind to internationals like HYP and Williams are... that's why i'm feeling so anxious....
MikeyD223: yes, she's applied to schools in China as well, but somebody like her should seriously deserve to get into a top school in the US cos' I've seen ppl who had weaker stats and ECs than her who got into top US schools with full ride...
*fingers crossed*
