<p>^I remember at one point that someone on this board said that while it was nice to have the guarantee of getting into top grad programs, with the stats that were required, they would have certainly been admitted anyway. I’m not sure if that explains it, but I just remember that and thought it might be relevant? </p>
<p>I’m glad to hear that the numbers haven’t dropped without the auto-admit part. I’m seriously considering Smith for engineering (if accepted, of course), so this thread is of particular interest to me :)</p>
