[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seven sisters schools [/quote]

Sad but true [/quote]
Especially the non-Wellesley/Barnard ones. Smith, MoHo, and Bryan Mawr are nothing like the used to be. [/quote]
Disagree. They are great places to be an interested, curious student.[/quote]

No one said they’re garbage but instead that they have dimmed which is absolutely true for obvious reasons. [/quote]
Since the top universities are open to women and have been for decades now, the caliber of student going to a seven sisters school is just lower than it used to be since top students have more options. Most Bryan Mawr students now wouldn’t have gotten in 50 years ago. The women who would have gotten in then, go to Penn now.[/quote]
There’s a possible yes and no to this. Because those schools also had a certain number of students who just came from families able to pay. Like the Ivy League, actually. So there were bright young women with no other options who could be very academic at these schools, and there were those who could pay. And sometimes, but not always, they were both. Right now, with options for limiting international students, they will probably miss some shining stars that came from underserved communities abroad.(and some full pays from abroad, too.) just saying: variety.[/quote]

Bryn Mawr used to have the highest average score on the English section of the SAT.  That was an almost impossible distinction to hold on to.  These schools still provide good options.[/quote]
