[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is very academically oriented, with top stats, recs, and nat’l awards, and also very outgoing with active social life. She’s trying to get a sense of whether any of HYPMS might be a good fit these days (recognizing all are reaches). [/quote]

For HYPMS, oddly it's only MIT that has a healthy social vibe these days.

Other than that;

Vanderbilt
Duke
Dartmouth
Notre Dame 
Rice - not a party school, but very friendly
Brown
McGill
UCLA [/quote]

My daughter attended MIT CPW when she was admitted. She attended a sorority party which was really sad and a frat party that was VERY well-attended by women from neighboring colleges. We had already read about how the male students there do not really respect the women. That and what she saw definitely played into why she turned it down. Chose Harvard — no party scene but no complaints as she made many good friends. Same with another girl from our town who chose Harvard over MIT. It’s all a matter of where you find your tribe! No point attending MIT if the men want to socialize with non-MIT women! [/quote]
