[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common Data Set show healthy admission numbers to me: 5000+ Smith, 7,000 Barnard, 5000 for Wellesley. My daughter is looking at male dominated field, and the prospect of studying at all all women's college is appealing - small class sizes, beautiful campus, generous merit aid in some cases. Also, the Wellesley-MIT, Smith-Princeton, Barnard-Columbia programs that allow cross studying opps is very appealing.[/quote]

Do you mean applications?  It's enough to keep the schools open but not great compared to a Williams with 8000 applications, much less an Ivy.[/quote]

The # of applications received is not indicative of the quality of education.  In any case, a single-sex school will by definition have fewer applicants.[/quote]

The original topic question addressed if women's colleges were on the wane. Number is applications received for any given year does tell one part of the story. Quality of education is complicated and can be best answered by graduation numbers, jobs, internships, post grad education...[/quote]
