Harvey Mudd is another great school for women and engineering. Saw an article just a few days about about this. Harvey Mudd's President is awesome and really takes this seriously. Of course Mudd is even harder to get into than Standford.

It's not, actually.

(Harder to get into, I mean)

Stanford's acceptances were lower this year than (gulp) MIT's.

Mudd runs about 15-20% acceptance, which is easily double what Stanford and MIT accept.
Doesn't Harvey Mudd have slightly higher SAT and ACT scores for accepted students than Stanford?


Maybe prospective Stanford applicants should exercise better self-selection.
