<p>do you think I have a chance? what do I need to work on?</p>
<p>I think you have a reasonably good chance. Your EC profile is good and you can almost always stand to improve grades/scores. With your research background, something to consider: each year Smith gives out 5 Zollman and 35 or so STRIDE scholarships, both of which include research assistant positions for your first and second years. But they're offered to pretty much the top applicants in the class.</p>
<p>I'm curious: I was wowed with Smith from when we first visited and my D chose it over Wellesley and Barnard...but what has made Smith such an attractive target for you since you were 5? I had to get over the notion of it being a white-gloves-and-pearls school for rich girls.</p>
<p>Btw, please be patient about responses. Many people check the boards only once a day, sometimes once a week. Also, the moderators take a dim view of people bumping posts for feedback more than once a day.</p>
<p>thanks so much
when I was 4 my mother read a book on the life of a previous smith presedent. From that point on she always talked about smith, she ordered the lit. from the school and put it in to my room. I used to stare at the pictures of the buildings, at that age I didn't know what the pictures were of or what the information booklet was about, but that place looked pretty. That was all that mattered. At that time I wished to be a geologist when I grew up so science was a big thing for me. At the age of six I was determent to go to MIT of one of those fance school, but smith never lost it's allure. One day when I was about 10 I was going through my things and came accros that catalog, so I reserched the school. Ever since my mother saw the price of what it would take to get there she has stopped hinting at it. It still has a speacial spark for me and even if I have to spend my entire life working to pay the expences off I will do it. I am going to be a smithie.</p>
