Is Wellesley Really the number 1 women's college? Bryn Mawr's point of view

<p>Graduate School
85 percent of BMC graduates pursue graduate school within 5 years of graduation. They pursue PhD’s as well as degrees in medicine, law and business. Bryn Mawr proudly boasts a nearly 100 percent acceptance rate to law school and an 85 percent acceptance rate to medical school (the national average is in the 40s). Bryn Mawr ranks 1st in the country of its graduates who pursue PhD’s in the Humanities and 3rd in all fields."}}</p>

<p>Do you have a link to that info? Thanks.</p>

<p>Acceptance rates to med, etc school are meaningless. The 80%-90% acceptance rate touted by many colleges, Smith included, is for students who progress to the point they’re <em>qualified</em> i.e. great MCAT’s and gpa to apply. </p>

<p>Most are weeded out in their first organic chem class :)</p>

<p>Note:replace LSATs for Law School</p>

<p>I imagine 75 women enter Smith (less for Bryn Mawr, it’s smaller) with the desire to attend med school…30 might get a 3.4++ in organic chem., bio, etc and a decent enough MACT to garnish a strong chance of med school acceptance. If only the qualified students apply, of course the accpetance rate is 80++</p>
