Hi there - Smith is my top school and I’ve been dreaming of going there since I was a sophomore. I am very anxious waiting for my decision and hoped this might ease my nerves.
I have a 4.1 GPA and scored a 1440 on my SATs. I have taken all honors/AP classes. Last year, I took AP U.S. History and scored a 5 on the exam. I am currently in AP Statistics and AP Literature. My lowest letter grade is probably a B from when I took Honors Algebra 2 (I’m more of a humanities person). I am the stage manager and publicist for my school’s drama club, and I also am the president of our chapter of the National Honor Society. I’m a team captain for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life as well.
I wrote my essay about how my love of literature helped me to cope with my anxiety disorder. My counselor wrote me an amazing recommendation letter too, which I am very greatful for. In addition, I was given the Smith College Book Award last spring. I interviewed with an alumna in my state too.
I have been working since my sophomore year- once at a kindergarten before the owners retired and it closed, and once at a toy store for summer employment. I also had an internship in my school’s performing arts center where I helped run shows for outside rental companies.
I think that’s about it- am I overthinking it? I worry because I’ve only taken 3 AP classes and I only have 2 main extracurriculars, theatre and NHS. Any input or words of encouragement would be appreciated!!
