<p>I LOVED Wellesley. I am applying ED next year. But, I'm afraid that I won't get in and I want to find schools that are like it, so if I do get rejected, I will find a school I like. What other schools did you apply to that were similar to Wellesley (need not to be all girls)?</p>
<p>I love Wellesley, too! As far as other liberal arts colleges are concerned, I applied to Smith (Northampton, MA) and Washington and Lee University (Lexington, VA). I definitely would have considered Amherst and Swarthmore but I had way too many college applications already and too many essays to write.</p>
<p>I applied to Dartmouth, Williams and Amherst.</p>
<p>I also applied to Middlebury, Bowdoin, Haverford, Swarthmore, and Grinnell. Other women's colleges I applied to include: Smith, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, and Scripps.</p>
<p>i also applied smith and amherst.</p>
<p>I also applied to AMherst and Williams. I loved Wellesley the second I stepped onto the campus. If I am lucky enough to be accepted to all 3, it will be a very, very hard decision. HOw do you guys compare Wellesley with Amherst and Williams?</p>
<p>The more I find out about Wellesley, the more I love it. I've been persuing through the course catalogs online and it's just seriously amazing. If I somehow magically get accepted into all three, I think it'd come down to either Williams or Wellesley because of what I want to major in (Art history or English).</p>
<p>aside from wellesley: williams, bowdoin, haverford, middlebury, bryn mawr, smith, b.u., skidmore, and connecticut college</p>
<p>Amherst and Bowdoin</p>
<p>I'd love Wellesley a lot more, but for the sake of growing up I think I should go to one of the others. Amherst is on the top of the list right now...that'll change by tomorrow morning :)</p>
<p>Wellesley was the only girls' school (sorry, women's college ;)) I applied to. I also applied to UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSC, Pomona, Brown, Pitzer, Tufts, Macalester and Occidental.</p>
<p>I applied to Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Brown, UChicago, Simmons, Holy Cross, and 3 southern colleges.</p>
<p>I applied to Carleton, Bowdoin, Colby, Macalester, University of Puget Sound and Kenyon. Wellesley and Middlebury are definitely the most scenic campuses I visited.</p>
<p>Oooh, Seattle is BEAUTIFUL! I definitely would have applied to places on the West Coast but it's a little too far away for my clingy parents...</p>
<p>^ i agree, Coquettish, Seattle is absolutely gorgeous. i've lived in Seattle for 13 years and i LOVE it!! Yay for clean air!!! (interestingly enough, i only applied to one school in the NW - U of Washington.)</p>
<ul>
<li>upsideofdown, are you seriously considering UPS? if so, if you'd like to hear about life in the Seatte metro area, i'd be glad to tell you about it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Wellesley and Pomona were the only LACs I applied to, the rest were larger universities, Berkeley being the largest.</p>
<p>If you're looking for schools like Wellesley, Smith and Mt Holyoke are good bets (and not just because their women's LAC's).</p>
<p>If anyone is looking West Coast, I'd take a look a Whitman. If it were located in New England, it would be way up the ratings. A very very good LAC.</p>
<p>hmmm...
applied to
Smith
GW
U of AZ
Princeton
Cornell
Emory
NYU</p>
<p>but WC was my top top choice. no question.</p>
<p>I applied to U. Roch, Rutgers, Cornell, and Amherst. If you like Wellesley, apply to Amherst, Williams, Smith, and Barnard. They're tough to get into..but they are very good liberal arts colleges.</p>
<p>Besides Wellesley:
Colby
UPenn
Princeton
Cornell
Georgetown
George Washington
Haverford
Boston College
Muhlenberg
Dickinson
The College of New Jersey</p>
<p>I refused to set my sights on just one school, so I had a group that I'd be completely ecstatc to attend, a group I'd be content with attending, and the safety schools. :) Wellesley, luckily, was in that first group.</p>
<p>I applied to:</p>
<p>Wellesley, Amherst, Bowdoin, Macalester, Northwestern, U of I, Skidmore, Harvard, and Yale</p>
<p><em>phew</em></p>
