<p>Such a varied set of schools! I know you’re looking for personal points of view…but…if Econ is what’s most important to you …please try to get info. on what Econ majors from each school have done after graduation for the past couple of years, if you haven’t already checked out this information. Most school’s Econ Depts and/or Career Services offices can provide you with that data…and you can see what % of students go to grad school (and where they go), what % work (where they work and what kind of jobs they get), what % are still looking! </p>
<p>Each school will also give you a very different social experience. All of the comments on this thread about Mount Holyoke have been fairly negative, but, for many women that I know, it was a wonderful place to develop a sense of self and meet amazing women who became part of a lifelong network. But…you have so many urban schools on yours list… If being in city and all of the outside-of-school activity and accessibility that comes with an urban location is important to you, than Mount Holyoke and Wellesley won’t be great choices for you.</p>
