However, it’s the combination of everything (women’s college, campus, surrounding town, traditions, house system, Korean classes, etc.) that make me love Smith soooo much! ^ω^</p>
28

<p>Today my top two majors are East Asian studies and psychology, and a minor in art.</p>

<p>And as for a weird fact, I know how to say a handful of random phrases in Dothraki, lol.</p>

29

<p>Kiyatora: Are you learning Japanese? If so, we should practice together! :)</p>

<p>@Guitar500
I know some Japanese! I’ve taught myself some basic words and phrases, and I took a class last year on the writing system. So far I can recognize some kanji, read and (mostly) write hiragana, but I struggle a bit with katakana because the majority of symbols look pretty similar to me. As for speaking it, I can say some words and phrases but can’t quite keep up a spoken conversation (yet!) I’m currently trying to improve my vocab and learn more kanji. Practicing Japanese with you sounds like fun! I have my computer set up so I can type Japanese and everything, so PM me, k? ^^</p>

31

<p>Did anyone get their BannerWeb ID and password yet? I haven’t received anything and was wondering if I should be worried, since decisions are coming out in 2 weeks (maybe 1).</p>

32

<p>I got it within two days of applying, maybe you should call.</p>

33

<p>@Kiyatora-- I applied ED (round one) and encountered the same problem. The email just didn’t go through for whatever reason. I had my college counselor call the admissions office and they were super nice about it. They resent the email and I received it the second time. I would suggest either you or your college counselor call admissions. Hope this helps :)</p>

34

<p>Okay, solved the Bannerweb problem :)</p>

<p>Because I’m reapplying, I already have an ID and PIN. I guess that’s why I didn’t receive anything this year. Unfortunately I no longer have the original email, but I managed to find my ID on an email I got this past week from the fin. aid office. Logged in without a problem after that so no worries! ^^</p>

35

<p>Any news on admission decision dates?</p>

36

<p>@Loverowing12
According to Smith’s Admissions Facebook page:
ED II notifications are released January 24th at 6PM EST
RD notifications are released March 22nd at unspecified time (I think it’s safe to assume 6PM ET for these ones, too?)</p>

37

<p>Can I withdraw my ED application to RD now?</p>

38

<p>I’m applying as a transfer student, can I count in?
My interview is today, I’m really excited!
I hope to study alongside you girls in the fall!</p>

<p>よろしくね！</p>

<p>Sure, join the conversation :slight_smile:
I hope to see you in the fall as well!</p>
