From your comments, it sounds like Wellesley would be your preference. You would get a great education there. Everything is world class. It is very prestigious in general, although a CS would degree would probably be more of a plus from Berkeley. We know a graduating senior who has had an amazing experience at Wellesley and has fully taken advantage of the many opportunities the school offers. She has many friends from Harvard/MIT that she’s met over the last four years. She is not in tech/science and has not done anything with Olin.

But how much of a financial hit would it be to attend Wellesley? I would be very cautious about asking your parents to pay too much or taking out significant loans to attend. That’s a conversation to have with your parents. Good luck!
