<p>I'm applying to Smith ED for Fall of 2014 and I'm wondering what my chances are.</p>
<p>I go to a very competitive public high school.
I've taken all Honors and AP courses throughout high school, and I've gotten mostly B's in them, and a few A's.
My unweighted GPA is 3.3 (possibly 3.4) and weighted is 4.3
During my sophomore year I was diagnosed with depression, and was often absent from school. My grades were okay, except for a D in Honors Pre-Calc. However, I later took a community college course in the same subject, and received an A.
I've also gotten two mid/high C's, one in Honors Geometry freshman year, and one in AP Stats my Junior Year. I did try my hardest in these subjects, math is just not my specialty.</p>
<p>Although my grades are not the best, I do focus on extracurriculars.</p>
<p>I'm captain of my school's Mock Trial Team (as of junior year, been on the team since freshman year), and while I was on the team, we won counties twice, placed third in the state, and this year as captain, we placed second in the state. </p>
<p>I'm also captain (starting my senior year, been on the team since freshman year) of my school's traveling Drama and Forensics League (it's hard to explain, basically, we compete against different schools in drama monologues, comedic pairs, persuasive speaking, etc)
I've won numerous awards for different categories each year, and placed 5th in the state for Comedy Monologue and 2nd in the state for Poetry Interpretation my junior year.</p>
<p>I volunteer at my local Hospital, and have been since summer of 2010. I've worked in their Thrift Shop, Maternity, and Emergency Room. </p>
<p>I used to volunteer for my church's Bible Camp in the summer, part of their Theater Group, but had scheduling conflicts after my sophomore year. I was a counselor at the camp since 7th grade up until 10th grade. Should I bother including this? </p>
<p>I'm in National Honor Society at my school. </p>
<p>I've helped my school's theater department with promotional design, like posters and decorating the showcase in our lobby. </p>
<p>I have 2 Varsity letters for mock trial and 1 Varsity letter for Drama Club. </p>
<p>By the time I graduate I will have taken 10 AP courses. My senior year I'm also taking an Independent Study where I plan to create and independently publish my own comic book.</p>
<p>I'm very interested in Art, and plan to major in it at Smith. I'll be submitting an arts supplement in addition to my application. </p>
<p>I'm not including my SATs since Smith is SAT optional, however, do you think including them in my application would be helpful? Do most people submit them?</p>
<p>I feel very nervous, and think that I haven't done nearly enough as other Smith applicants have. Please be kind, but realistic in telling me my chances. Thank you so much everyone!</p>
