My best friend's DD goes there. She loves it. She's a swimmer and they have a great team. It has a laid-back vibe, but is excellent academically. I'm keeping an eye on it for my DD in a few years. We went there for a swim meet, and I couldn't believe how beautiful the campus was. Her DD turned down some NESCAC schools and a "lesser" Ivy to go there because they gave her a huge scholarship. I don't think everyone gets in, as a PP said. I know some kids in our school who got turned down. They were not great students. They got in to Washington College, though.

As a side question, is there a shuttle or other bus service that runs between the college and cities like DC, Baltimore or similar? I found on the college website a link to a transportation page, but it didnt work

Don't worry. EVERYBODY gets in there.

Well your comment will make me feel really good if my child does not!

What a sad person you are.

God, I hope not.

+1, that would completely and utterly ruin it.

In fact, anyone who says things like "future status institution" should have their bloodline banned from attending, for perpetuity.

Check out the instagram of smcm sunrises and sunsets - Beautiful! I'm jealous of how good the students have it there.

If anyone goes to any college for status or goes after status things in life, they are never going to be happy in life.

Having said that, SMCM will never be a status institution.

Our child wants to go there specifically because it is in the middle of nowhere and because what is happening in class is less likely to be made to seem trivial by what is going on over in DC.

OP here...I hope our kids meet there. Mine also loves the campus and its remote location.

In my day it was also mail and we knew by early January....however, I guess there weren't any other options 24 years ago. LOL

Last year they mailed letters. I think my DD got hers around the end of December. She loves it there. Good luck!
