Than 30 years ago?  Who would even be able to compare and for what purpose?  Personally, I think your best shot is roc’s and Mcdonogh and bryn  Mawr are a tougher admit.  [/quote]

I don’t think people who post this actually know...  Bryn Mawr and RPCS are sister schools and take classes with eachother (and Gilman).  They have different cultures to be sure, but bryn Mawr is not materially better than RPCS.  GL.[/quote]

Well, this is out of date.  Bryn Mawr and rpcs were similar a decade or two go, but have since evolved.  Bryn Mawr is the academically rigorous school and rpcs is geared for girls who might need more supports.  This is no secret, definitely how rpcs markets itself. Especially at lower and middle school level.  At the upper school level, rpcs does attract some more academically focused girls through merit scholarships, but there is a substantial difference between the schools in college matriculation lists once you get past the top five percent of the class.[/quote]

I disagree, but here are the lists and people can decide for themselves.

They are very differently culturally but not so much academically and it’s a shame to suggest otherwise.

OP here. Actually Rpcs doesn’t seem so impressive to me based on their matriculation list. Bryn Mawr’s list is better. Does anyone know how difficult it is to get accepted to Bryn Mawr in 6th grade? Would you say there’s a 40-50 percent acceptance rate?
