<p>I hope some of you parents who have daughters in high school, or who may know a high school guidance counselor will pass this information on regarding an opportunity to attend Smith's program in late April. If your younger D's or her friends even have a thought about attending Smith or any other all-women's college, they owe it to themselves to visit and find out about this great school. This day is planned for h.s. sophomores and juniors. Here is the schedule for "Simply Smith"</p>

<p>I'd like to the welcome the newest Smith-obsessed to the Parents Forum (again). The torch passeth as the old maketh way for the new.</p>

<p>But, seriously, I've talked to several dozen Smith students and if you talk to them long enough, virtually every one of them says something along the lines of "Well, I never <em>meant</em> to attend a womens college" but all of them encountered something in the process that made them seriously give womens colleges serious consideration.</p>

<p>Because they're a single-sex school, I think they go deeper into the admissions stack than a comparable co-ed school and are thus a great "admissions value."</p>
