<p>Oh okay, well if it was included I'm pretty sure it would be WAY below BC</p>
<p>I would say of the schools here overall:</p>
<p>Brown</p>
<p>Wellesley</p>
<p>BC
Smith</p>
<p>Purdue (non-engineering)</p>
<p>It isn't every day that I agree with Slipper, but in this instance, I do.</p>
<p>yeah I prolly should be contemplating this stuff around April. I like to be wishful and optimisitic sometimes, what can I say.
Sorry about the BC 2nd tier comment. My mistake.
In terms of prestige for woman's college though, I believe Wellesley trumps Smith.</p>
<p>Hmm..yeah Brown, Wellesley, NYU, BC, Smith, Purdue. good order. I doubt I'll get into Brown though. I have a decent chance at the rest though, I think.</p>
<p>Wellesley.</p>
<p>"Smith and Wellesley are not included in USNWR's Top National Universities ranking because they are all girls schools."
They are included. They just aren't in the universities section. Wellesley is rated the 4th best liberal arts college in the country.
OP- I think that it would come down to Wellesley and Brown for me. Both are amazing schools. But since you are going into international relations/business, I think NYU becomes a more significant player than if you weren't sure what you wanted to do in college. I would narrow it down to those three and then find out all you can about the specific schools programs.</p>
