Common App after a gap year? And some advice?

Applying to College
1

<p>So how does it work, when i have complete records? What about mid term grades and final reports from the counselor? </p>

<p>And I applied to Mount Holyoke and they rejected me. I plan to re apply (NOT as a transfer student), do you think I have a chance? Here's what i'm going to add to my app: a 95.9 GPA and several awards received after i submitted my app, including the highest one given by my school. plus i'll be volunteering a lot during my gap year. And i'll work on a better essay too, i guess.</p>

<p>I'm not submitting SAT scores though. Smith accepted me already but i can't afford it so...</p>

<p>I'll be trying Bryn Mawr, Bowdoin and Bates--you think they'll accept me? I really don't know what to think because of MHC's rejection and Smith's acceptance, which is kind of unheard of.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>What makes you think that any of those other schools will be more affordable than Smith?</p>

<p>I won’t be able to get an institutional grant from Smith anymore since I was not able to pass the FA requirements on time (I know, stupid me). But next year I won’t be doing the same mistake. i think we can afford it then.</p>

<p>Probably you did, but if not, have you asked Smith for a deferral yet? If you reapply, nothing is guaranteed - different year, different applicant pool.</p>

<p>Yup, I did, but unfortunately deferring won’t change anything. I’ve emailed admissions and asked whether I could re-apply next year, but I highly doubt they’ll allow me.</p>

<p>it looks like i can re-apply after all :)</p>
