<p>As far as I know, there is no application for merit. It seems like the scholarships they do have are given to enrolled students, not applicants. Every applicant is reviewed for merit, but Smith’s financial aid is need-based.</p>
<p>If your question is whether or not to apply to Smith at all, I say go for it! My credentials were nowhere near yours, and I was accepted ED. The application is free on Common App, so when you get around to doing applications, there’s no reason not to!</p>
