In the recent past, I would have said Smith was a Target for you, but since admissions have been getting tighter, I’d say it’s a high Target for you. You still have a decent shot at getting in. Good luck!

Last year my daughter applied with 1450 SAT, 4.25 W GPA, 8 Ap’s and many EC’s, and got waitlisted.
She needed financial aid, but we make just over pell grant limits. Since they can’t list her a a pell grant recipient, and not first gen college, she doesn’t make them look good, so that seemed to work against her as well as being from Massachusetts. They are need aware.
