<p>you can be rejected because of your genitals.</p>

<p>how very interesting...a WOMEN'S college that doesn't accept male applicants? go figure.</p>
<p>I guess Wabash and Deep Springs are sexist, too then.</p>
<p>Oh, my God, I really want to meet the boy who gets rejected from Wellesley.</p>
<p>funny story: my best friend (a guy) really wants me to go to wellesley, but i was behind on my apps so he joked that he was going to write a "why i want inspiration to go to wellesley" essay for me. he tried to add wellesley to his common app list, and the common app wouldnt let him, because he's a guy. haha, i thought it was funny.</p>
<p>There's actually a boy enrolled at Wellesley right now. He's from Dartmouth, but I think he's spending a year here. He sleeps in a residence hall with the girls and is a full time student.</p>
<p>I would never go to an all-girls school. Never. Ever. I don't care if the academics are great.</p>
<p>Halie::::: u do know that ur on a WELLESLEY (an all girls school) thread?!!??</p>
<p>Yes, I do know that. That's why I posted.</p>
<p>it really is</p>
<p>someone should sue</p>
<p>The OED would disagree with your claim of sexism: "The assumption that one sex is superior to the other and the resultant discrimination practised against members of the supposed inferior sex, esp. by men against women; also conformity with the traditional stereotyping of social roles on the basis of sex."</p>
<p>It does discriminate (in the sense of choosing) based on sex, but it does not assume that women are superior to men. Far from superiority, the school began with the assumption that women and men deserved greater equality in the academic sphere.</p>
<p>To rephrase the original question: is there a place for single-sex education in today's Western, first-world culture? Inside</a> Higher Ed had an interesting piece on the presidents of many prominent women's colleges, looking at those presidents who earned their degrees and pursued academics in co-ed institutions.</p>
<p>I know a guy who went to Wellesley College for his undergraduate school. He said that there were a few guys who attended.</p>
<p>I know several guys who graduated from womens colleges. However, at the time they were enrolled there, they were girls. Or at least at the time they applied.</p>
<p>The overwhelming amount of discrimination women face in graduate school and the professional world negates the tiny amount of womens colleges that don't take men.</p>
<p>"...you can be rejected because of your genitals."</p>
<p>There are surgeries that can fix that problem if you really want to attend Wellesley...</p>
<p>If that's the case, then you can argue that the whole college process is sexist. Women have a smaller chance of getting into college nowadays because they are the majority who apply/go to college. :P It disturbs me that I can get rejected because I'm female, or chosen over another applicant because they happen to be male. But such is life.</p>
<p>I had a really happy moment when I visited Barnard and saw a big sign that said "END BARNARD'S SEXIST ADMISSION POLICIES." Gave me a good chuckle!</p>
