Well said, WendyMouse! As a Wellesley student, it was refreshing to not hear you put down Smith. I love your comments about going the “extra mile” on your academics if ecape is bored at Smith. Sounds like she has made wonderful friends; and doesn’t that bode well for fit? I get the impression that ecape will not be happy anywhere. Maybe she is just looking for that “perfect” school, which again, comes down to fit. Maybe an elite LAC isn’t the right kind of school for ecape; perhaps she should transfer to an IVY with a grand reputation. I think, FWIW, she will find that they are no better equipped to satisfy her, as they also deal with graduate students who get most of the profs time.
