Hey!
Smith is my top choice and I just applied RD (should have done ED II) and I’m worried that I won’t get accepted. So anyone out there want to chance me?
SAT I: 2030 (660 CR, 640 Math, and 730 Writing)… I want to study engineering but I’m worried that my low math score reflects poorly on that.
SAT II: 800 Math II
GPA: 93.41/100 (weighted)…my HS said that a 93 was a 3.6 on a 4.0 scale so I’m kind of worried about that (thought it would be closer to a 3.8 ish)
Freshman Year (went to a private Catholic HS where there weren’t a lot of Honor/AP courses offered): Algebra (Honors), Biology (Honors), Communication, English (Honors), Latin, PE, Religion, Spanish II
Sophomore Year (transferred back to large, public HS): Chemistry (Honors), Crafts, Drawing, Painting, and Design (all one), English (Honors), Geometry/Algebra II (Honors), Government and Law, PE, Spanish IV (Honors), World History (Honors)
Junior Year: AP Biology, AP English Language, AP US History, Criminal and Civil Law, Journalism (Honors), Personal Wellness, PreCalculus, Spanish V (Honors)
Senior Year: AP Calculus AB, AP English Lit, AP Macroeconomics, AP Physics B, AP US Government and Politics, Game Forms, Spanish VI (Honors), AP Microeconomics
Total 9 APs
First Quarter grades were good… I had a 96.43 GPA (weighted) but Second Quarter is lower…I have 3 B+'s.
I sent three teacher recs (which are all really good) but they haven’t received the last one.
Extracurriculars: National Honor Society, Math Honors Society, Crew (one year), Basketball (one year), Softball (two years), Agora Club, Unicef Club, tutoring, and several jobs (working at a local sports facility, in an office, and babysitting), and lots of volunteer work in community
I put down on my app that I had a cousin that worked at Smith but retired in 2013…not sure if that will help much.
Also, I visited during the summer, interviewed on campus in the fall, and attended a meeting that they had at my HS.
Thanks!

Do you intend to row?
No…at least not varsity but potentially on a club/intramural team
Smith doesn’t have a club/intramural team. Fwiw, many women who have never rowed join crew The team is novice friendly. 
Otoh, crew is not sleep friendly. Practice is gawd-awful early in the morning.
Don’t worry about your math SAT1. It’s fine.
And you’re worried why?
Your GPA is 3.8ish
Smith loves applicants who intend on majoring in engineering…seriously, stop worrying.
In what capacity was your cousin employed?
Thank you for the crew info…definitely sounds more doable to be on a novice team.
She held an administrative position for about 10+ years but we’re somewhat distant cousins (first or second cousins once removed) so I’m not sure that it will factor heavily into my application.
