<p>I became extremely interested at Smith this summer when I met an admissions rep at a program. I don't know anyone who has gone to Smith so I don't really have anyone to compare my stats to. Please let me know what you think!</p>

<p>I'm counting on strong teacher recs </p>
<p>I just found out that I was accepted to Smith's Women of Distinction program.</p>
<p>Also, if you're planning to run in college, you might want to try and meet with the coach while you're there for WOD. Smith doesn't give athletic scholarships, but she can give you a sense of how your times fit in with the rest of the team, what the practice schedule is like, etc. And if she likes you, she's pretty likely to mention that to the admissions office, giving you another boost.</p>
<p>Being accepted to WOD is a very good indication that Smith thinks you would be a great candidate and would like to have you (otherwise they wouldn't be spending the money on bringing you to school and putting you up for the weekend). Of course, nothing is 100% for sure until you get your acceptance letter in hand, but since the WOD application is basically a Smith application, I wouldn't get too worried. I was WOD and I was accepted ED with no troubles.</p>
<p>Before you meet with the coach, check the DIII recruiting requirements. I believe you're not allowed to meet with a coah if you're attending a college sponsored prgrm lasting more thatn 2 days.</p>
<p>ooh good point (can you tell I wasn't an athlete?). I assume the coach will know these requirements and will figure out a way to work with them but still find a way to have your questions answered--but it's always good to know the rules yourself.</p>
<p>The track coach will definitely know the rules (fyi, she an incredible womn and was the most impressive of the DIII coaches w/ whom my D met - - only the Kenyon coach came close).</p>
