Women’s Colleges are “easier” to gain admission to than one might expect in comparison to the quality and reputation of the schools. Specifically: Wellesley, Smith, Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke. There are a few other more self-selective colleges out there that traditionally were somewhat easier admission-wise in relative terms to the excellent quality of education and enormous reputations: Chicago, Grinnell, Reed is a fitting example, Kenyon…but many of these schools have become more selective so they no longer hold this stance (interestingly enough Wash U was once considered one of these schools). The most attainable admission process with highest quality these days may belong to Case Western Reserve, Sewanee-University of the South, maybe consider Colorado College, Franklin & Marshall, Rhodes, Earlham and Centre for liberal arts. Hope that helps.
