Tips for Getting In
  • Apply early.
  • Focus on what makes you unique. The Smith admissions staff isn't looking for someone ordinary. But still be yourself and don’t overdo it—no one likes a show-off.
  • Get good letters of recommendation.
  • In addition to having high grades, it is important to be in leadership positions, whether it’s through extracurriculars, sports, travel, volunteering, or work.
  • Participate in extracurricular activities, especially political or community service.
  • Show a true interest in Smith—talk about the academic program you want to get involved in or opportunities you’re interested in, like the Praxis internship, the Five Colleges consortium, or study abroad.
  • Take AP classes. Don't overload yourself, but take at least two if you have the opportunity.
  • Talk about why you want to attend a women’s college.
  • Write about something you’re passionate about in your essay. Bonus points if you’re passionate about something that betters the world.
