[quote=Anonymous][quote]Haverford/Bryn Mawr are the same way. Haverford usually ranks in the top 10 and Bryn Mawr more like top 30, yet you can take any class on either campus--there is literally one course catalog for the two schools--and you can major at either school. Each campus has its own culture, but if academics are what schools are ranked on, it doesn't make any sense that they are so far apart.[/quote] It makes sense to me. The acceptance rate for all women's schools is usually pretty high relative to their academic rigor because 1) only half the college aged population can apply, 2) even among women, there is a lot of self-selection and not everyone wants to be in a single sex environment, and 3) because of this, a lot of women use all women's SLACS as safeties. Acceptance rate and yield factors a lot in the US news rankings. That said, I think you would get a fantastic education at any of these schools.[/quote]
