<p>so, i would interpret that to mean if you’re not a valedictorian, or haven’t already saved the world, no hope of scholarship? as another thread discussed, even though the admit rate is high, the quality of applicants is great.<br>
If, after visiting campus (and even, to a certain extent, after reading this board) I decide Smith is a good fit, my dream come true would be to get a zollman. Regardless of what other colleges I got accepted to, I would definitely go to smith , no question. I love the open curriculum, government major, jya programs, semester in washington, women’s college, lac, close but not too far location, and more or less, smith seems like a really really great fit without having visted campus. the money would more than help me make up my mind and would just save me from making a painful decision (even if I do get accepted to the other colleges I like). on a personal note, i have like a 3.7/4.2 uw, taking all honors and ap courses (i’ll have taken 7 aps by the time I graduate) and yeah, i have gotten bs and even bminuses. i am pretty involved though. so, yeah, thought i’d share that little tidbit.</p>
