As long as the online notification specified Smith as your advising college, then he was admitted to Smith also. Assuming it works like engineering…Since it is a LEP, Smith does its own, separate admissions review once students are admitted to the university and will therefore send a separate letter of admission that should arrive shortly.
The first letter you received is from the admissions committee from the university itself and they are also the ones that determine the invites to the living learning programs like Global Communities, so that’s why that is included on this first letter. @mdhelp, please correct me if I am wrong.
