I was accepted to Smith by way of EDI without my 1st semester senior grades included in the application; I just got my grades, so I went ahead and sent them in. I unfortunately received a “D” in math and experienced a moderate (.6) decrease in average GPA, so I sent a letter along with my transcript expressing my goals for the next semester. I also stated that, as I aspire to be an English major/music minor, I will pursue a humanities curriculum, and that I don’t think math will have much bearing on my life outside of high school. I wonder if I perhaps made myself sound too narrow-minded; though I meant what I said about math, I’m aware that Smith recommends an all-encompassing curriculum, and assuredly I would very much like to take classes outside of my 2 designated realms. Do you think they’ll re-evaluate me on the basis of what I said/my grade?

Thank you so much for your time. (-: My paranoia knows no bounds!
