Both Berkeley and UCLA are closed to transfer economics majors? Ouch, that's a new one. In my day in the late 1960s, junior college transfers with 3.0+ averages in UC-transferable courses were guaranteed transfer to UC, and those above 3.5 guaranteed campus of choice, state college transfers I think had a harder time.

I didn't know Smith was known for economics. My older daughter (now a sophomore at St. Olaf) and several of her friends visited many of the seven sisters, but were all put off by the heavy lesbianism (one girl even had a pass made at her at Wellesley on her overnight!). My younger daughter and a friend visited Bryn Mawr this past fall and liked it better than the others. My daughter would have considered it seriously had they had a good music program.

Smith isn't known for economics, but it is now part of a consortium including Amhearst and Mr. Holyoke which offer a greater diversity of courses and faculty. The lesbian thing causes me no small amount of concern, but boyfriend attends U Mass., so for now, I keep smiling.
