This will add a piece to the puzzle. The percentage of majors in math, computer science, bio science, physical science, or engineering at top colleges and universities. Bryn Mawr is the only women’s college with very strong student interest in math and science. Smith is next. Wellesley has very few math and science majors. I didn’t include Barnard, but I’ll take a wild stab and guess that it’s in Wellesley territory. Combined with Haverford, that is also very “sciency”, Bryn Mawr is going to “feel” much different than the other womens colleges in terms of the visibility of science majors, students, and professors.
