<p>Should I risk $300 on a deposit at Smith? Their deadline is May 1st, and I know I won’t find out from any college till Mid-May to early June. Well, I’ll find out from W&M, UCLA, and UCB, but I’m pretty sure I’m picking Smith over those. The problem is that I REALLY don’t have $300.</p>
<p>crap that is a dilemma. GEES 300 bucks is a huge one. How many more schools over smith do you have? I am in the same situation as you. I know for a fact that UCB is the bottom of my list so I am just going to say yes to UCB because its 100 bucks, unless wellesley or pretty much any other school i applied to says yes.
Maybe if you only have up to 3 more schools above smith on your top ten list, then put the 300 down? I do know that wellesley is probably going to beat the fin aid package that smith will give you, i had extensive time speaking with fin aids of all the schools i am applying to and wellesley gives over all of them… Wait til april 30th to make you r decision, i am sure you will get your fin aid packages, and the wellesley decision comes in only a few.</p>
<p>I have like 7 reach schools I’d pick over Smith, but they all have acceptance rates of 10% or less. </p>
<p>Wait, when do we hear from Wellesley?</p>
