<p>cooties ewwww! lol</p>

<p>but on a more serious note, jeparlefrancais, you have a pretty good chance in all of them, although your application would probably be on the lower end of the pool for wellesley and smith. i say this because your scores and grades, though good in comparison to applicants at other schools, will not be an advantage for u at wellesley and smith.</p>

<p>just as a sidenote: if u apply online 2 wellesley, ur application fee is waived. plus, wellesley is an awesome school!</p>

<p>She has a better chance for Wellesley and (much better chance for) Smith than for Barnard, based solely on scores and grades.</p>

<p>whoops, ok then i can’t argue with that since you’re already in college and i’m not. how do you like barnard? i have a friend who goes there! i dont want to post her name on the internet… but her initials are L.B. and she went to the international academy in bloomfield hills, Michigan.</p>

<p>Holyoke has a free app if you do it online too and I think you’d have a good chance there. I’m visiting Wellesley on Monday…</p>

<p>I mean, just comparing the SAT and top 10% numbers at the schools. Other than that stuff, who can ever tell?</p>

<p>Barnard’s been great. Is your friend a first-year? I don’t know many first-years, other than the ones that come to my office hours.</p>

<p>o sorry primefactor, i just accessed your bio and realized that you were already going for graduate school! i’m also considering economics, although less of a math emphasis if i do…haha. yes, she is a first year, so you probably wouldn’t know her. </p>

<p>jw, what made you pick a women’s college? the part about women who graduate being successful and having a good learning environment without cattiness and distractions? or something else?</p>

<p>Barnard was the only women’s college I applied to, because it’s practically co-ed (I transferred, so I didn’t have to do all of the first-year stuff). The single-sex thing wasn’t a factor in my decision. But now that I’m here, it is very nice to have good health and counseling services and other things like that.</p>

<p>And yay, economics is awesome! :)</p>
