Smith College

Applying to College
1

<p>Smith College is kind of the college of my dreams. I have visited all around the New England area, and have not felt so at home as I did here. The girls, the teachers, the classes I sat in on.. the vibe just matched my own energy. I really want in.</p>

<p>My GPA is not so strong (3.5 or 3.6 I think), but I take hard classes (Two APs my upcoming senior year, I got a 2010 on my SATs, all honors classes where available, five years of a language, four years of art classes).. but I don't have any academic awards, I don't come from a rich family (I actually live on a family-owned farm run by both of my parents)</p>

<p>I really just want some reassurance.. because the anxiety hurts. I shouldn't have let myself get so attached to one school, especially one so difficult to get into, but it's too late. I've turned into a bra-burning feminist since my visit and chats with the girls. There are other all girls schools that I will apply to, but I am eager for the early decision on November 15th</p>

<p>Any hints.. tips.. someone to talk to.. someone who was accepted.. someone who can help me at all.. I feel lost yet soo ambitious about my future.</p>

<p>Trying posting this in the "Smith College" forum. You'll probably get better results because the posters who frequent that part of the forum are usually Smith students or parents of current or past Smithies.</p>

<p>I think the interview is very important for Smith.<br>
If you ED to Smith, your chance of being accepted is significantly higher.</p>
