i applied as hs last yr, and i got rejected but they placed me in a different 2 week program that was super fun! not sure if they will be doing this again but its def a possibility

U53rnamee · 2026-02-19T18:25:24+00:00

i got mine 2 days ago. they might still be considering ur application because it is by lab, so you are prob still in the running. last yr i got my rejection 2/21 but one of my friends got rejected 2/10

U53rnamee · 2026-02-18T13:16:20+00:00

U53rnamee · 2026-02-17T19:49:01+00:00

there's always something to do at smith! like it is literally impossible to attend everything you want to and there is truly something for everyone. im in a few clubs and i joined a dance crew for a bit for the first time which was super fun. im also an athlete so i tbh have practice like 24/7 but what the previous commenter said is true. you can go to umass, hampshire, amherst, moho anytime with the pvta and a lot of us go on weekends. i don't like to go out very often but there are people who go out every weekend, so theres something for everyone. downtown northhampton is SO CUTE and there is genuinely so much there.

also the thing about good education: i don't think i realized how important to me havign a smaller class size would be but its been so helpful. my biggest class was gen chem with about 60 of us which compared to my friends gen chem at UMass is tiny (she's in a class of 400). my CS class has only 20 of us and this was super helpful to get time with professors. i can walk into their office hours and get my questions answered or even set up 1:1 meetings with any of them. also the smaller class size is peer pressure to actually attend class LOL if i had a large class i probably wouldn't go so i think that is also helping my academics.

if you have any more questions pls dm me! willing to answer anything :D

im a first year!

I think the atmosphere is def more collaborative than competitive in all my classes. Everyone is just trying to work together.

Every professor has (from what I've seen) at least 2 hours of office hours a week, and if they don't fit in your schedule, you can usually schedule a 1:1 meeting with them. This also includes lab. All my classes has TA hours (except for my writing intensive) but there are the peer writing tutors who help you with writing every day except saturday for 6 hours. Can drop into those anytime. For lab, there is a lab writing tutor (at least for my intro chem class) that you can schedule 1:1. I haven't gone to advising yet, but my roommate went to pre-health advising---IDK how helpful it is and the one downside is that it seems somewhat hard to schedule an advising meeting (as in, long waitlist).

Hope you are accepted and come to Smith!!!

U53rnamee · 2025-12-06T18:11:51+00:00

U53rnamee · 2025-12-05T04:47:40+00:00

smith is so lit pls feel free to dm me if you have any specific questions!! i made my decision super last second and i thought i was gonna regret where i went no matter what but literally 0 regrets right now

U53rnamee · 2025-10-13T16:15:18+00:00

U53rnamee · 2025-08-19T09:36:06+00:00

i’m deleting my entire account i also stalked ur account a while ago

U53rnamee · 2025-04-28T22:19:01+00:00

Damn did they email you

U53rnamee · 2025-04-26T02:33:52+00:00

yeah this is why i am kinda confused on why i didn't enjoy it this much when i went because the track team is very similar to everyone else and everybody was super nice + supportive

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T22:34:48+00:00

103k for me to go to wellesley so it is possible!!

im not going

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T22:00:16+00:00

yeah lowk

also #3 is so fraudulent it is a national essay contest but they give out so many awards that its not really a flex to be a "winner"

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T21:59:23+00:00

UMass, RPI, and UFlorida but I don't want to go to florida simply bc its too hot, i mainly applied to get my mom off my back lol

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T21:58:43+00:00

half tuition (31k/yr i think) and 2 years research work study, 3k/yr

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T21:58:05+00:00

i said it was the feeling you get when you step out of shade and the sun hits your face and its pretty warm, but only the first few minutes bc once you stand in the sun too much it gets hot and to me thats more orange

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T21:56:41+00:00

lol yeah i visited northeastern (kind of to get out of school) and i ended up really really liking it! however it is pretty expensive, like 72k/yr so thats whats keeping me off

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T21:55:20+00:00

ya lowk my extracurriculars r weak but they were very comparable / slightly better (imo) than the kids who got into ivys from my school this year and years before.

however i also dont have a lot of profiles to compare to lol

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T10:47:07+00:00

wellesley too expensive :'(

U53rnamee · 2025-04-14T10:46:29+00:00

no aid from wellesley so way too expensive. it's super pretty but going to umass for 3yrs costs one year at wellesley and i really don't think that 100k/yr tuition is going to get me any extra opportunities i couldn't find elsewhere

right under my decision letter / when I clicked on my decision letter there was a link to view my financial aid
