Hi all!

I’m thinking of applying ED II to Smith. I know it’s a reach for me, but I’d really love to go to Smith, it’s my top school.

I’m a white female from upstate NY and I want to major in Government

Stats:
88.9/91.6 UW/W GPA
29 ACT (can’t retake)
AP Euro- 4
AP US- 5
AP Lit- 4
AP Lang, Gov and Calc AB- taking this year

ECs:
Model UN- President for 2 years, Leader for a local conference
Girl Up- Founded my chapter, president
National Honor Society
I have ~120 volunteer hours, between an online org and text banking
I work a part time job at a local library

My essays are pretty good, so are letters of rec.

Context for bad grades: i had a concussion that impacted me sophomore year, and then I had some mental health issues I had to work on (this is the focus of my additional essay)

Any thoughts? Thank you all in advance!

I’m sure you’ll be fine:) Just make sure your application is well packaged- Essays, Extracurriculars, and that additional information section for special circumstances.

All the best!
