[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Wellesley alum and have been an admissions interviewer in recent years.  My impression -- and that of many of the other alum interviewers with whom I've spoken -- is that the college is swinging even more toward conventional, pre-professional students than in past years.  I'm a lawyer, so I don't have a bias against students who are pre-law, but it's dismaying to see the college become more homogeneous.  Additionally, when I speak with current students and recent grads, their description of social life sounds pretty grim -- not much of anything happening on campus on the weekends, so students leave in droves.  (Again, this isn't a sharp departure from the past, but at least there used to be something of an on-campus social scene.)  I got a great education at Wellesley, but I would not encourage a young woman to go there today.  (For that reason, I'm no longer an alum interviewer).      [/quote]

OP here. I really appreciate your candor. This is sort of the impression I had of Wellesley and also a little of Bryn Mawr, although I'm still trying to figure that out. My daughter loves the idea of the women's colleges, but she wants to be active on campus with her other interests and still have time for some fun. [/quote]
