<p>My counselor use to write reports for ABC7 news, so I'm guessing he did a pretty great job writing my rec.
And i got one of my teacher recs from a music teacher because I thought the admission's office would want to see what i'm like beyond the classroom.
I also got accepted into Indiana University </p>

<p>I meant what high school did you go to and it is important to know how many IB/AP classes offered ar your school compared to how many you took.</p>
<p>oh my bad, i go to walter johnson, they offer 27 AP courses, i have done 7. </p>
<p>12th grade:
AB Calculus
Statistics
Psychology</p>
<p>11th grade:
Macro and
Micro economics
world history
spanish language</p>
<p>you are in.
A lot of my friends who got in have similar stats.</p>
<p>I would say in for humanities, such as music, but not honors humanities</p>
<p>I am not sure you are probaly in because of in -state but it is definitley borderline. Good luck.</p>
<p>what if i wanted to go into business?</p>
<p>but would i be able to go to smith, if i mantained a decent gpa in my freshman year?</p>
<p>If you maintained a 3.5+ and had decent extracurriculars, internships, I'd say you'd get in. </p>
<p>3.3+ and amazing ecs, same thing.</p>
<p>Smith is incredibly hard to get into after you are there. This is also true for all of their specialty depts (i.e. Honors, Gemstone, Scholars etc). From what I have read and been told you would need to apply to the school and you need to be the top of your class at UMD.</p>
<p>Bulletandpima,</p>
<p>They make it much harder than it seems. When I was there for a semester, I talked to applicants and advisors and they told me you'd MOST LIKELY be in with a 3.5+ and decent ECs, or a 3.3-3.4 could be suffice if you have amazing extracurriculars (president of SGA, top notch internships; Goldman Sachs, etc).</p>
<p>do you guys mean that a 3.5+ gpa and ec's in freshman year of cp to get into smith? or do you mean in high school?</p>
<p>When you are there...and from what I know for many kids econ is the grade buster! Goldman Sachs and internships rarely if ever are given in HS</p>
<p>My bad, we've had a miscommunication. I was replying to Dustbunny's inquiry about getting into Smith if you do decent during your freshmen year.</p>
