First of all congratulations on your admission to the university! I think it is unlikely that they will reconsider you at Smith unless you have something new to tell them. Do you have any new SAT scores that they didn’t see, did your GPA rise dramatically, did you revamp your schedule to include more difficult classes? In my opinion these are the types of things that could possibly change your outcome, and even then I wouldn’t think that they would reverse their decision. This is not to say that you’re not very bright and capable. I’m sure that you are! I just think they made a decision based on your entire application and because Smith has very limited seats available, admission is very competitive. As you mentioned you need to keep a high GPA in order to apply as an internal transfer. It is very competitive like you said so there are no guarantees. But hey, they gotta take some people so there’s no reason it can’t be you if you are willing to work very hard. I think it is very important to have a backup plan though just in case you aren’t admitted. Penn State and Smeal are great! Which school do you like better? You have two great schools to choose from so in that sense you are lucky. Also are you in state for either?
