[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD accepted. FCPS 4.3wgpa, IB diploma candidate. Solid ECs, didn’t submit test scores. Didn’t get direct admit to Smith, but LEP. Also a legacy.

Happy, but it’s a backup as we wait on UVA and VT.[/quote]

Congrats!  What does not direct admit to Smith but LEP mean?  What would need to be done to get into Smith?[/quote]

Sorry, I meant Letters and Sciences because her major was an LEP (limited enrollment program). Not a big deal, has to earn a certain grade in 3 classes for the program and is then admitted.[/quote]

actually I disagree.  It is very hard to get into Smith if you are not a direct admit.  You only get one shot to apply and need a very high GPA.  [/quote]

+1. It’s more than 3 classes as DD couldn’t transfer in until sophomore year and she did have AP credits. I think they need a 3.7 or maybe a 3.8 to be admitted. With a 3.5+ you are eligible to apply but not guaranteed admission. And you only get 1 shot. Keep in mind a lot of kids struggle a bit first semester, even if they did great in HS. This is not to discourage anyone from taking this path as it worked out great for DD, but it was pressure to get all As that first year while adjusting to college life and expectations. [/quote]
