<p>Nice post, MWFN. Especially the part about that “elusive fit.” That really is what it is all about, period! Visiting campuses, talking to students and faculty, reading lots of info should never be taken for granted by prospies. I also like the part about self-selection, as it is something I have been professing for a long time about women’s coleges like Smith; who presumably have a high admission rate. The women who attend are self-selecting, and therefore the high numbers.</p>
