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

<p>If the subject is women’s colleges, then also look at the female-specific version: <a href=“http://web.reed.edu/ir/phdfemale.html[/url]”>http://web.reed.edu/ir/phdfemale.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Note that Reed is putting up only the disciplines (15) in which it is in the top ten in terms of percentage of female PhD productivity. Of these, Reed is number one once, Bryn Mawr thrice. You might notice that Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, and Barnard are totally absent.</p>

<p>Like plum1, I caution that this is just one measure of quality, but for those who might want to maximize their chances of earning a PhD, the list may be illuminating.</p>
