Is it easier to get into Smith or Bryn Mawr?

IIRC, Bryn Mawr and Haverford have a joint orchestra which rehearses at Haverford.

As for which is easier to get into, it depends on who you ask. I just know that from my daughter’s graduating high school class, only two got into Smith and six (or was it ten?) got into Bryn Mawr, including the two students who got into Smith. Smith and Wellesley never accept more than two students from that HS; Mount Holyoke and Bryn Mawr accept more.

In the end, though, it really doesn’t matter which is harder to get into. Both offer excellent educations. You should apply ED not to the toughest school but to your favorite one.
