Subject: Are all-womens colleges on the wane?
DD checked out Scripps College in California. It was easily her favorite of the Claremont colleges, despite being less selective (probably due to being all women). Gorgeous campus, and you can take classes at the other schools very easily.

My daughter is looking at male dominated field, and the prospect of studying at all all women's college is appealing - small class sizes, beautiful campus, generous merit aid in some cases. Also, the Wellesley-MIT, Smith-Princeton, Barnard-Columbia programs that allow cross studying opps is very appealing.
Do you mean applications? It's enough to keep the schools open but not great compared to a Williams with 8000 applications, much less an Ivy.
Who cares? You can get a damned good education at these schools, and the women who go there get fantastic training.
