Go Smithy. Have a friend's who's daughter is deciding between Smith W&M and UMD
My current junior DD adored Smith on our tour, and has the stats to throw her hat in the ring for ED, but there’s no way we could afford it even if she did get in.
Now hunting for similarly academic schools that offer merit aid. She particularly liked the decentralized housing and dining systems at Smith.
This was my thinking during junior year. But it turns out that SLACS, and especially those with large endowments, often give a lot of money. In our case, those schools gave more than the big state schools with merit scholarships. A pleasant surprise! All of this is to say that you may want to apply and see what you get from
Smith.

In their info session, Smith said specifically they don’t offer merit scholarships. And we make just a bit too much to get any financial aid.
I think Vassar, her other favorite, will be the same.

If she's open to California schools, Scripps could be a great fit! Slightly different housing/dining system but similarly strong dorm culture. Gives tons of $$$.

Which School? ED or RD?
Did they visit?
How happy is your child to be enrolling there, scale 1-10?
Can anyone share their results for slightly lower-stat more "average" students?
