[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ones that are far away and don't see as many applications from D.C. And I agree that if you can pay full price that also seems to be an advantage, especially at SLACs. 
As for University of Chicago -- it was the king of this category until it started taking the common application. [/quote]

Ok, I have to jump on this one. The most prestigious schools have need blind admissions. The ability to pay is not a factor. Also, some of the very top schools also cap the amount of debt with which you can graduate. Since we are talking about women's colleges, I will note that Wellesley is one of the group with need blind admissions and capped debt. I think there are 6 or so other schools that do this. If I remember correctly, Williams is one of them.[/quote]

I stand corrected, you of course are right about many top schools being need blind -- the students I was thinking of also are well connected, so I'm sure that's what made the difference. This being D.C. after all.[/quote]
