The admission rate at Wellesley is over 30%. That's much higher than at Williams or Yale. Just as at H-S, many students who otherwise might consider it cross it off their list because it's not co-ed.

The admissions rate at H-S is 64%, according to the Fiske Guide. When you're ready, join the logic-based community.

There is a double standard - all-women's colleges and HBC are defended and all-male schools with primarily white students are attacked on this forum. Be that as it may, all these schools are at a recruiting disadvantage in 2012 compared to 1962.

This is not an apt comparison. Wellesley is ranked #6 among liberal arts colleges in the US News survey; H-S is ranked #94. Wellesley has a highly diverse student body, drawn from all over the country and throughout the world. Hampden-Sydney is a regional school.
I think you are sufficiently hung up on rankings that you missed the point.
Not hung up on ratings at all, but the gross disparity suggests that your point is invalid.

I believe the conversation was about privilege, not high-school students' opinion of women's colleges and HBCUs.
