Smith RD 2024

Got in!! Congrats to all accepted candidates :slight_smile: I can access the financial aid portal btw.

Got in! :slight_smile:

Can those who were accepted share their stats? Trying to determine if my DD has a shot at Smith for next year. Thank you!

Hi! I’m a Smithie (Smith Alumn) just stalking this page while posting my son’s results and watching others at the colleges to which he applied. Congratulations to those accepted (and waitlisted!!). Smith is amazing. I have never regretted my decision to attend there one day in my life. Incredible campus, town, valley, professors, classes, traditions and peers. I was doubtful before I arrived but I LOVED it. My younger sister even added it to her list and became a Smithie as well. Again congratulations and I hope you make Smith your new home for the next for years. You will not regret it. :smiley:

How do we find the financial aid? She is having trouble with the portal.

Not a lot of APs offered at her HS and it doesn’t have high pass rates. She got 4s and 5s on the 4 AP tests she took.

My financial aid package still won’t show up on net partner. Very frustrating because tuition costs are my main deciding factor at this point.

I got wait listed, but here are my numbers:
SAT-1330
GPA-3.78
I also have 780 hours of Community Service

I’m in!

3.9 UW, 4.2 W
1500 SAT
Took 9 APs over high school
Accepted as an English major
I attend a competitive public arts school with a focus in creative writing, and I’ve been pretty successful there (published in literary magazine 5 times, won best poet award)
LOR 1: 10/10, really close with this teacher and have had him for all of high school
LOR 2: 7/10, good but not amazing
ECs are interning for my local congressman, volunteering at a local women’s shelter, and running several creative writing classes for middle school students (those are the most prevalent)

I don’t know if I’m going to end up here but it’s definitely up there!! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist, and congrats to everyone who got in!

Congrats to all! Parents (only) of these potential Smithies can join a private FB group, Smith College Parents and Families. The CLOSED group as the school has their own by the same name. That’s not really a group, more of a page. Like that one too but be sure to request to join ours and ANSWER the questions TRUTHFULLY. Thanks.
