<p>:-) Careful, friends don’t let friends date Hampshire boys unless they (the boys) promise to shower. </p>
<p>Okay, not such a good joke, but seriously, I have had some ripe-smelling males in some of my classes from all of the five college schools. One of the best things about women’s college? Most of the students have good hygiene.</p>
<p>That’s always a good thing!</p>
<p>but, who doesn’t love a good tree-huggin’ hippie around once and a while?! haha</p>
<p>I love the hippies, but I think that one can tree-hug and still bathe occasionally, right? I mean, the trees want us to smell nice too…</p>
<p>I just finished and sent in my supplement! I hope to see you guys next year :)</p>
<p>I submitted my supplement a few days ago, working on the CommonApp essay now. :)</p>
<p>Yaay.</p>
<p>I have a sister who’s applying…
she heard a lot of really good things about the school from people who went there…
thats always a good sign!
hahahah</p>
<p>I was admitted ED as well! :)</p>
<p>@cheejch: To answer your question, I’d first have to agree with the others and point out that scores are optional and aren’t necessarily the biggest factor. I think Smith really does a great job of looking at the holistic perspective.</p>
<p>With that said, my GPA is actually very low compared to the others… I have an unweighted 3.3, and I don’t know my weighted, but it would be much higher. Like someone said, the rigor of courses is important. My SAT was a 2000, ACT was a 29, my two Subject Tests were 790 (US History) and 720 (World History), and I received a 4 on the AP US History exam. I think my dogged pursuit of Smith had a big impact - I visited three times, had interviews, went to Preview Days, and I also had an alumni recommendation. I do a lot of extracurriculars and community service. Finally, I submitted an art portfolio. A lot goes into the decision they make, not just GPA and SATs!</p>
<p>I’m applying from Vancouver!</p>
<p>Good luck to all who are applying Regular Decision!</p>
<p>…just finished applying.
Now, I just have to avoid biting all my fingernails off before April.
@ shamanclare: Vancouver, BC or Vancouver, WA?</p>
<p>I applied back in Nov. for RD
fingers crossed for a stride!!!</p>
<p>Sent off my application about a week ago…only a few more months :)</p>
<p>I’d lovelovelove a STRIDE. Smith is one of my top 3, but the other two don’t really offer much in the way of merit scholarships, so if I got something substantial from Smith I’d probably go.</p>
<p>Applying, probably won’t get in.</p>
<p>Nice to meet u.I am admitted by Smith under ED.Now I can yell I’m Smithie too : ) Will you enroll in Spring or Fall?</p>
<p>Miss Pickwickian, glad you decided to apply. </p>
<p>I’m done with my application, yay.</p>
<p>Applying Ada from Nevada. Here’s to a positive application process and hopefully lots of acceptances for everyone!</p>
<p>Hi guys (or should I say girls ;)!
I applied RD, wont find out till March/April, the days can’t go by quick enough!!
I have a 3.75 and 27 ACT with only about 5 ECs (because I have to work too)</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you!</p>
<p>One EC is enough if you’re dedicated to it. Good luck.</p>
<p>how do you get a STRIDE?</p>
<p>You get offered one with your admission decision, it’s a merit scholarship. All students are automatically considered for merit awards when they apply, and then those that get them get a notification with their admission letter. If you got accepted, but were not notified of winning a merit scholarship, then you didn’t get one.</p>
