Is anyone else devastated from their Smith rejection?

Yes, my D is absolutely devastated. Like you, she has a decent gpa, great SAT scores, had a great interview, overnight, class observation, but I think what hurt her is that we are from a town very close to Northampton, and I think they put a limit on the number of local girls they accept each year. She felt like she just fit, and from my perspective she really does. She is bright, quirky, fun-loving, eager for a challenge, and really thought she would get in. What a nasty shock. It is really Smith’s loss. My D would have made a great alum some day, as I am sure you would too. Good luck wherever you end up!
