<p>Tests scores (if applicable):
29 ACT</p>
<p>Recommendation details:
I know that my recommendation from my AP English III, also my AcDec coach, is awesome. I’ve never even seen it, but I trust he did a spectacular job. I expect my Gov/Eco recommendation to be average. As for my counselor, she actually went around and asked teachers about me, so I think hers was a bit more informative about me.</p>
<p>Essay topic and details:
For the personal statement, I wrote about how a play of mine was picked to be directed and acted by the Theatre III and IV students. I went on how it solidified confidence in myself as a writer, how it geared me to want a career in writing, and how it also has allowed me to be receptive to criticism.</p>
<p>For the short Common Application essay, I discussed how I didn’t consider myself maternal—READ: Never having kids!—but I ended up taking care of my mother and brother.</p>
<p>My supplement was about Mandy Moore’s “Pocket Philosopher” and how I am just as easygoing and optimistic as the song.</p>
<p>Brief personal statement (optional):
Smith is my first choice (tied with Scripps, though), so I’m pretty hyped about my acceptance. I think what helped me the most was my personal statement and supplement. I put a lot of effort in writing the both of them. As for my extra-curriculars, I’m convinced they are the weakness of my application. I don’t have much love for clubs at the high school level and I had limited transportation. As for if I’m going to Smith, it depends if I get into Scripps and whether it has better financial aid for me.</p>
<p>Admission status: Accepted</p>
<p>Admission type: RD, but suprise early admission!</p>
<p>GPA: 3.8</p>

<p>Recommendation details: from my APUSH and AP Lit teachers, I waived my rights but they both liked me… idk. counselor one was probably generic because my school is huge</p>
<p>Essay topic and details: my main essay was really weird. it included both a numbered list and me blatantly listing several of my faults, and featured exactly 0 narrative anecdotes. people told me it was good, I obviously can’t judge my own work very objectively… my supplemental essays were fine, nothing special but good i guess (again, I’m not objective)</p>
<p>Brief personal statement (optional): I’m a legacy. My grandmother and great-grandmother both went to Smith, and I brought Grammy along for the on-campus interview which resulted in the cutest scenario everrrrr. Both my interviewer and Deb Shaver came to talk with and hug and give free things to my grammy, who had been a Gold Key guide back in the day, and the interview itself went really well. Deb and my grammy are the same height (4’7"ish), which is hilarious.
And on that note…
To all juniors thinking of applying or seniors waiting to hear back: I AM NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AVERAGE ACCEPTED SMITH STUDENT. None of the early admits are. Pleaseee do not interpret these stats as the average or the norm. Don’t think you need a legacy or a 2300 or whatever. You don’t. That is all.</p>
