What the results from 2012 suggest

So, I was looking at the 2012 acceptance thread and the huge range of people who have been accepted or rejected kind of scared me.

I know that since Smith doesn’t require the SAT anymore and because it emphasizes other aspects of one’s application besides stats that high scores and GPA don’t mean guaranteed admission, but how “important” are the numbers especially for 2013?
My GPA went down to a 3.69 this semester (2nd sem. junior), and I was wondering to what extent this will hurt my application. Also, how much would an interview/demonstrating great interest in the school make up for somewhat lackluster stats? Thanks
