Is a 3.3 GPA too low for Smith?

You’re taking 5 APs? That will mean something.

If you are that certain that Smith is you top choice (have you visited?) consider Early decision. The financial aid is usually good – but check it out for yourself if you need it --but if you are 100% sure ED might be worth considering. That way, you make a point to admissions that you would attend if accepted.

This said, I agree with previous posts, don’t set your heart on only one school! If you like Smith look for comparable ones, like Mt Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, etc. Or if you want to go co-ed, there are lots of similar schools.

Good luck!
