Mary Anne Marks graduated from Harvard University at the top of her class. You may have heard of her, she is the one that gave the salutatory address all in Latin.
You may remember these nuns from their appearance on the Oprah Show earlier this year in February and how they dazzled the audience as well as Oprah Winfrey herself with their simple devotion and love of Jesus in the Eucharist.
We have a brillant guy from our parish that was ordained a priest 2 years ago. He went to Harvard & did all his studies in Rome. He had every plan most Harvard grads have. Brilliant career, money, marriage, kids... well God had different plans in mind.

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”
I bet we can expect some amazing works from her as a Dominican sister, maybe even in Latin..

I have a few aquaintances who went to Yale and then embraced a religious vocation: a couple priests (diocesan and Jesuit) and a Sister of Life as well as a few others discerning the same.

One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. That I may see the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple. (Psalm 26:4)
One time I was at a Catholic conference and I met a girl from Harvard who is studying astrophysics, I think, but she was discerning a religious vocation as well.
To add some balance, let's all remember that 50% of female religious vocations are to what you would call the more "liberal" orders that don't wear habits.
The idea that if the 95% of orders who currently don't wear habits became conservative that there would be many, many more vocations is not proven by statistics. With less choice, and more regimentation, there would probably be half the vocations there are today.

I'm noticing a theme here. I knew a girl who got straight A's in high school, read her Bible and Catechism everyday, was joining the peace corps, and was discerning religious life. God's taking all the good ones!!

all the people I know who are considering religious life are considering orders with habits
