<p>BMC’s languages are fantastic, especially the romance languages.</p>
<p>Poli Sci is excellent at the Mawr as well. Alice Mitchell Rivelin, a BMC alumna, was an important figure in the Clinton White House. Bill Clinton was at BMC TWICE within the last decade… once in 1996 (for a summit and I was there) and again last week (to campaign). You can posit why Clinton has an attraction to BMC (creepy??) but that aside, this is seriously unheard of among LACs. Together, the bi-co sees some very well known political figures with John Edwards to HC in 2004 and Pat Buchannon, Ed Rendell and Rick Santorum making visits to HC all last year. Both Poli Sci departments are strong and students can count as a resource the location of the colleges in the corridor between DC and NYC will allows speakers/visitors easy access to the colleges for day trips. Except for, I would guess Washington and Lee (cause they have a law school and are close to DC) and Wellesley (cause it’s Wellesley), I don’t think any other LACs that can provide the same roster of speakers/visitors as that offered by the Bi-co.</p>
<p>BMC is very well regarded for those in the know… it sounds like HC is losing a great applicant to its sister?</p>
