<p>I was going to apply to Wellesley, but decided not to in the end. I talked to a bunch of students from both Smith and Wellesley (as well as Bryn Mawr since I was going to apply there), and found that Wellesley girls were stuck up and well…sort of snobby, where Smith girls were EXTREMELY friendly. Of course, I’ve only talked to a few Wellesley girls so I’m biased, but this is what influenced my decision. As for prestige, I would say both are extremely good schools, and the only reason Wellesley has a lower acceptance rate is because of their little consortium type of thing with Harvard…(they advertise them as a “backdoor to harvard” type of school…) Again, I don’t mean to offend anyone but that’s how the lady at the college fair was trying to sell Wellesley <em>shrug</em> </p>
<p>As for which college offers the better of the programs you’ve mentioned, I honestly don’t know. I just wanted to give you an idea as to why some students might apply to Smith and not Wellesley. </p>
<p>I just wanted to be honest about the impression I got when I talked to some Wellesley students, and I don’t mean to offend anyone.</p>
<p>“Checked over at the Wellesley board and not one response to a similar thread…hmmm.” -Bossf51</p>
<p>You see what I mean? <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>Again, no offense. I’m only speaking my mind and practicing the freedom of speech.</p>
