<p>Smith is world re-known. I believe it is ranked number 18 in the world by USNWR. With that said you should realize it is not easy to get accepted. I am also going to be the pessimist for the class of 14, because due to the economy I think you will find the IS competition to get much more intense. For class of 12 they broke the records with 28K applicants, class of 13 beat 12, I am guessing 14 will beat 13.</p>
