Liked this one better when it was called Equal Rites.
While my initial thought was that they were similar, I realized while listening to the story that the two are not the same at all.
In
Equal Rites she was born to the 'male-magic' style and couldn't be confined to being only a witch, she had to have training in both. To that end, Weatherwax and (Crap, drawing a blank. The other one) escorted her to the college and forced her to be accepted.
On the other hand this was about a woman who tried to get in based on her learning, was rejected, then discovered some years later another woman had been accepted, and was now going to track the girl down (Seemingly to curse her, our of Jealousy and bitterness it seems (See the mention of how she didn't know womanly magic so didn't have protective charms and how the thorns could be used in curses)).
The stories had a similar aspect in that they were women trying to get into a men's only magical college, but other than that they were very different.
