So I’m a senior in HS and I recently sent in my Smith application. I love Smith and I’m super excited and nervous to find out if I get in (sadly I’ll be waiting until April as I applied RD). Anyhow, I had a couple quick questions for alums/current students and my fellow prospies. I’d love to hear anything you have to say about the school – answer whichever you questions you want.

For prospies:
Why are you applying to Smith?
Is it your first choice?
What are you interested in studying? What are your other interests?
What most excites you about Smith?

For current students and alums:
Why did you pick Smith?
Why should we pick Smith?
What is your favorite thing about Smith? (your least favorite thing?)
What was the most useful thing you learned at Smith?
What did you major in? What did you do outside of class?
On a side note – have you read Commencement? How accurately does it portray life at Smith?
Lastly, do you have any useful tips for us prospies?

THANKS!!
