<p>For those who are or will be attending Smith, where else were you accepted? What factors were influential in your deciding to attend Smith?</p>
<p>It was a few years back, but I was accepted to George Washington, Northwestern, SUNY-Albany, Emory, and University of Denver in addition to Smith. I was mainly deciding among Smith and the first three, and picked Smith because it was the best middle ground between cost and academic rigor, and because I thought I'd make the best friends there. Financially, academically, and socially, it was a great choice for me.</p>
