Chance Me- Smith College

My D is at Smith. It’s on par with Bryn Mawr and Scripps wrt acceptance rate, so they are probably all matches or reaches. Mount Holyoke is a bit easier. I don’t think Smith gives full ride merit and any merit is hard to come by in any amount. They are need blind and meet full need, but I’m not sure about international students.

Smith will want to see that you really want to attend a women’s college and why. And social fit is very important at Smith, not just for admissions but for future happiness. So I hope you have done your homework in this regard. This is going to be true of the other women’s colleges on your list too but I think Smith leans into the women’s college thing the most and has the most specific campus vibe/culture of the 5. Wellesley will weigh your academics and leadership the most. MH, BMC, Scripps seemed quieter and more chill.
