Is it easier to get into Smith or Bryn Mawr?

I don’t know about theater or dance, but I do know that for art Bryn Mawr students take most of their classes at Haverford.

I would agree that their fairly comparable. One of the things I didn’t like about Bryn Mawr was the close knit interchange with Haverford and the other colleges in the area. I really wanted a college that was more or less self contained. But a lot of people feel the opposite, they want a women’s college that’s really well integrated with the neighboring colleges. Personal thing. You might consider what you want to study and which you think would have better offerings for that.

Smith has an excellent Orchestra program and a very strong Government major, one of the most popular majors on campus. I was a gov major and I did the Semester in Washington program through Smith (highly recommend), and now I have a job in government, so I can at least attest that the program worked for me.
