<p>I will be an incoming transfer student. Probably going in as a junior (or a second sem sophomore). Applying to Bryn Mawr, Smith, Mount Holyoke, possibly Wellesley, and definitely Marist (parent's choice & assumed safety).</p>
<p>I graduated from a small town HS where most students go onto state schools. </p>
<p>In HS:
-Graduated with ~3.4
-ACT 24
- Only AP course taken was AP Art, but I did take both College English and College Algebra my senior year. Other courses were about the average HS load (4 English, 4 Math, 3 Foreign lang, 3 Science, 4 History/Social Studies, 4 electives).
-Class was ~175, graduated in top 15-20%.</p>
<p>EC:
-Secretary (10-11) then President (12) of French Club.
-Heavily involved in equestrian riding (from age 8 up until last year). At least 20+ hours per week; I owned my own horse.
-Band member, 9-10. Wind Ensemble 11-12. NYSSMA Gold medal 9-12.
-Independent flute quartet 10-12. NYSSMA 100, performed at weddings & events.</p>
<p>Held a job for two years as an Animal Care Tech (10-11).</p>
<p>College:
First year (state school):
-3.2. Personal issues held me back, but that will be the subject of my essay.
-Member of equestrian team.</p>
<p>Second year (this year: community college to save money):
-3.9 so far.
-Founder and President of a positive body image club on my campus
-If I maintain this average I will definitely be invited to join Phi Theta Kappa (Honor Society for 2 year college students)
-I will be taking at least ONE, hopefully two or three, Honors courses next semester.</p>
<p>I've always been a very strong writer, so my essay will be great. I will also have a great recommendation letter from my Psychology prof, and at least one other from a second prof.</p>
<p>I'm mostly wondering what Smithies think about this. Do you know people at Smith who got in with a similar app? I'm a little nervous considering any "chance me" thread I've seen for the colleges I'm applying for are basically Ivy League applications. It's kind of ridiculous.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
