It's Never Too Early (Applicants from the High School Class of 2012)

<p>Thanks for the advice. I have considered all this before and I’ve considered it again, but I think I will stick with my previous decision as of this moment.</p>

<p>I’m going to be in the class of 2016! I’m a 2011 graduate but I had to take a medical deferral for the year. If anyone needs help with the application, I got in and got STRIDE and would be willing to help. My email is <a href=“mailto:kymgarcia137@g.mail”>kymgarcia137@g.mail</a>.</p>

<p>I remember you from this last year’s thread!! I’ll PM you now</p>

<p>I just submitted my ED agreement.</p>

<p>I’ve decided to play it safe and go with RD, after all. And congrats, CPU!</p>

<p>applying RD, hopefully theatre or engineering!</p>

<p>Those majors are kind of opposites ends of a spectrum. xD
Just sent in my application and my supplement! Still needs to send my recs and school report along though.</p>

<p>I’m still finishing up my common app essay (teacher is editing), I might scratch it and write a new one.</p>

<p>Larentia – you’re RD right? what made you send in your app early?</p>

<p>My applications are already completed and I don’t want to spend time fretting that I haven’t sent it later on. I would like to use that worrying about scholarships instead. xD</p>

<p>So true!
Well I hope I see you next fall at Smith! I’ll be so relieved when my Smith Application gets in.</p>

<p>The same to you! I am quite relieved myself since I sent in most of my applications.</p>

<p>Lucky!!!</p>

<p>10char ugh lol.</p>

<p>@Larentia:
I do technical theatre, so that’s what I would focus on as a theatre major at Smith, lol. And engineering is not too dissimilar from tech theatre - mechanical engineering is closely related to construction and electrical engineering is closely related to lighting and electrics!</p>

<p>Lol, I did guess you were a person involved with technical theatre although I was unaware that it’s not too different from engineering.</p>

<p>Hi! I’m applying to Smith. Wellesley is my top choice, but Smith is a close second. As in really close. It’s like my 1.5 choice, haha. It’d be great if I get accepted at both. Once I get my acceptance letters my mom and I are going to travel out to MA and visit the colleges. This is really what’s going to determine which one I go to.</p>

<p>Anyone doing an interview for Smith? I’m doing mine this Monday. The alumna who’s interviewing me sounds super enthusiastic, so it should be really fun!</p>

<p>I want to do a double major in English and East Asian Studies (with a focus on Japanese culture). My junior year I want to study abroad. When I graduate I want to get my PhD in English from (fingers crossed!) Harvard. If I’m unable to get accepted at graduate school right away I plan on doing the JET program in Japan. And then, after I get my PhD, I want to be an Ivy League English professor and a published author. I basically have my whole life for the next 10 years planned out, lol! That’s why I love love love that Smith has no core requirements. I have spent the past 4 years of my life having to take courses that were of no interest to me…when I get to college I really want to pursue the things I’m passionate about :D</p>

<p>I’m applying RD to Smith but it’s my first choice, very very closely followed by Hampshire. I’ve visited and it’s beautiful. I adore the women who come out of there! I’m hoping to see you all there and I’d love to talk to you all while we wait. c:</p>

<p>Has anyone who is applying EDI heard from Smith yet? Or, does anyone know the process of notification?</p>

<p>ED1 notifications are this Wed at 6pm via Bannerweb.</p>

<p>UFOninja, I’m sure you’re aware that Wellesley has distribution requirements vs. none for Smith, other than 1/2 your credits in your major and 1/2 in other subjects. Eligibility for Honors is another matter; there are some distribution requirements for that if you want to go that route. My English-major daughter (now a junior who’s going to Oxford in January!) was accepted to both Wellesley and Smith; she initially really, really wanted to go to Wellesley but wound up going to Smith because of a STRIDE scholarship and honestly, she hasn’t looked back since. It has been absolutely fabulous for her!</p>

<p>Good luck, ED ladies! I’m rooting for you all. :)</p>
