No, my login is normal. Oh golly, what does this mean? 
where else did yāall apply/ where are you coming from?
I applied to Smith, Wellesley and Bryn Mawr, and I currently attend Kenyon!
I only applied to Smith and Mount Holyoke College and Iām currently at a large public university. Realllyyy starting to regret not casting a wider net right now. The admission lady at MHC told me after my interview, āYou shouldnāt have a problem getting in,ā and her words have both comforted me and haunted me since then. Iām worried that she gave me false confidence and now Iāll get double rejected and have to endure this process all over again.
All I can think about is Friday, my concentration is completely rekt and I donāt know what to do about it. I have a midterm on Wednesday, but anytime I try to study, all I can think about is Smith. Iāve been an excellent student in college up until now, I hate the way this makes me feel. When they posted that picture on their twitter of Deb Shaver signing admission letters, I almost fainted.
wait are we finding out this friday? I thought it was the 31st
Lol yeah, March 27 around 6:00 PM.
I thought transfer decisions did not come till mid May for Smith?
They come out in batches. If you meet the priority deadline (Feb 1) then your decision will come earlier than those who apply around May.
But actually, we MIGHT get our decisions later than first years? Last year, transfers found out on March 27 but I just realized that first years got theirs on like the 20th. Omg no.
Ha, Iāll call them tomorrow and find out. I really donāt want to wait anymore, Iāve already ruined my chances for good housing at my current university.
Ahhhhhhhhh! My birthday is March 27th, I pray they bring good news. I canāt imagine dealing with the news of a denial on my b-day!! 
But the sooner the better, I suppose. I too have been having anxiety waiting to hear back from Smith. Please let us know if they tell you a for sure decision release date.
@ifoundalaskaā Ahh oh no you were right, they said we have to wait for March 31. My heart is crying.
oh no! I wanted you to be right.
I wonder what the first round acceptance rate isā¦
Hmm interesting question. I would think it gets more competitive in the second batch. Last year (overall) they took in 102/275. They always accept around 100 girls altogether, regardless of the number of applicants.
(Using data from common data set BTW.)
Yeah I know itās about 40% all together but I bet itās higher in the first round. I guess weāll see
Well, I was just wait-listed at Mount Holyoke. Looks like itās up to Smith to decide my future. Iām so unhappy at my current college and so, so scared of getting rejected by Smith.
I hope you get in, but if you donāt you can reapply next semester!
Iām so scared of not getting in anywhere- I donāt know if I can stay at my current school and maintain a decent level of mental health. I might go to a local school but idk I think itāll be harder to get into Smith/Wellesley/ etc. without going to a school of similar quality.
Dude, I totally feel you there. Itās like once you see the bad qualities in your school, you canāt stop noticing them and it starts to eat away at your own sense of self-worth.
I donāt think that going to a local school would hurt your chances at Smith because they accept a lot of community college students. However, it may not do you any good to transfer to another school you donāt want to attend as far as mental health goes. (But that just depends on personal reasons, really.)
Iāve considered going to a CC next semester, but I would lose all of my scholarships at my current one so itād be stupidly risky.
Yeah itās such a struggle. I feel like my grades would be better at a state school but it might not be worth it, just because like a Keynon B is probably worth more than a random state school in SCās A.
I went to CC during and after high school. During my last semester I applied for transfer so I could continue my schooling but was turned down from the 2 schools I applied to. When I was applying one of the councilors who worked on transferring students to more private schools said only like 1 student from CC gets in. Though she made it sound like only 1 got in in about 11 years. It seems harder to transfer from CC then other schools.
One good thing though is CC is very open and relaxing - or mine was. Especially my major department - so for a mental breather it may just be the best thing for people. My teachers were nice and more connected with students and many even after graduating stay in contact - if the student likes - and offers advice about the students fields or just to be friendly.
I applied to Mt. Holyoke as well but have not heard anything yet. I still have a message displaying announcements are mid-April.
@BeachSummerFunā Well, I got my result this morning because of a little act of desperation. Yesterday night, I became really frightened; as Iāve said many times, I really, REALLY donāt want to stay at my school. So, in this panic, I emailed the admission counselors that I interviewed with a long-winded message about how much I like the school and what I could contribute to the student body. She responded this morning very politely with awful news.
I thought it would help, but they obviously had already made up their minds. Iām still a little sad about it because I know that I was a good applicant. A bitter part of me thinks that if my family was solidly middle-class with some assets that I wouldāve gotten in, seeing as MHC is need-aware. Still, Iām sure a lot of great women were accepted this year and I hope they do well. It just sucks to be stuck at a place that makes you deeply unhappy.
waitlisted isnāt a death sentence though! I got off the waitlist of my current school by showing a lot of interest.
Just think better chances are probably coming your way. I didnāt get into school last year and was pretty upset but because of it I get to see my only sisters wedding and also the birth of her first child - a little girl. If I was in school I would have be missing this and many other things Iām glad I had the chance to do. Of course this isnāt the case for all and everything but it always makes life have something to look forward to in the future - if that isnāt to cheesy.
