[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, to the rest of you.  I think we're almost done.  Starting a "Smith decline" thread doesn't seem like a really attractive option.  And posting information here for people who are looking for "secret schools" may be useful to some who want insiders' perspectives -- the good and the bad -- about this particular "secret school."

[quote=Anonymous] [/quote]  Lamont was the lesbian house 25 years ago?  Really?  Interesting.  It wasn't when I got there. [/quote]

Yup, I'm certain it was.  I suppose, like other fads, these things change.

[quote=Anonymous] [/quote]  An admissions rate of over 40% is not good at all, particularly in light of the fact that they have been putting such an effort into recruiting more applicants from abroad.   [/quote]

[b]But I think it was roughly similar 25 years ago?  I can't remember, honestly.  But it was never as tough as the Ivies.[/b][/quote]

No, it was much harder.  And when my mother was there -- it was almost as tough as the Ivies.  The Ivies weren't letting women in at that time.  Smith was viewed as a Women's Ivy.

Those days are gone.[/quote]
