[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because even as a women’s college it ranks in feeders for law school, business school, and med school (adjusted for undergrad enrollment). My DD goes to Wellesley and although the social scene isn’t the best, she loves it. It’s very academic. The kids are studying all the time. She complains a bit how rigorous it is. Wellesley only recently took away their grade deflation policy. But, it still lingers with many professors and subjects. She told me that her dean said a B at Wellesley is an A elsewhere. She says the student body is very ambitious. (Most) Professors are great. She’s made good friends in her first semester. Not a perfect school by any means. Also, some of the girls either party on campus and bring their MIT/Harvard boyfriends or go to MIT/Harvard/Olin/Babson/BU for parties.

Their freshman retention rate doesn’t seem to be the greatest and match other LACs. About 90-93%. So 10% of freshman leave or transfer. It is a specific environment for a specific group of people.

The deans at Wellesley went to low class schools like UMass Dartmouth and UVM, so their point of view isn’t the most intellectual.[/quote]

I appreciate you ignoring everything I said to focus on a point that does not matter in the grand scheme of things! DCUM you never fail to disappoint.[/quote]
