Women’s Colleges Really are the New College Cool

As reported in an earlier HuffPost blog post about how women's colleges are experiencing an influx of applications, (New College Cool: Women's Colleges), making them the new college cool, last week I saw this announcement on the Facebook page of Smith College:

“A record number of students have applied to be part of Smith’s Class of 2019, including more students of color and those who’ve selected the college as their first choice through early decision. The college has received 5,002 applications—up by more than 500 over last year, according to Vice President for Enrollment Audrey Smith.”

And this good news caught the attention of a College Admission Advisor, Cristiana Quinn and was included in her blog post, “College Admissions: Applications Surge at Many Elite Colleges.”
