Those are my top three choices when I apply for schools next year. I have a pretty good chance of being admitted to all three.

Financial Aid is a very important part of my decision. Can you tell me about Smith’s financial aid? My friends have been happy with their aid at USC and UCLA, but I’ve only heard negatives about Smith’s financial aid. Can someone tell me honestly about Smith’s financial aid? I have been told that they expect students to borrow against their homes?

Also, I’m from California and I want a job here in California. Most people know what I’m talking about when I refer to USC and UCLA, but Smith is sometimes unheard of. When I say Smith College, a lot of people are like…what? So in terms of branding, how is Smith for a Californian employer? Is it seen as impressively over here as it is on the east coast?

Thanks!
