Womens Colleges info session
Sep. 28th, 2010 05:25 pmIt wasn't all schools, just Smith and Mount Holyoke, but that was fine. ^^ (The other one I'm interested in is Mills College out in Oakland, California. So it's like, stay nearby, but be cold, or be warm, but WAY on the other side of the country. Because I can't do things subtly, I have to go to extremes. I swear, it was the same situation with SAIC vs. SCAD. Cold and northern or blazing and southern. XD;;;) I asked them about how much my prior college experience and high school grades would count, and briefly explained the issue with my grades and my 4.0 at LaGuardia. Both women said they were more concerned with what I'm doing now, not what I did so long ago. That makes me feel SO much better; I kept looking at Smith's website and thinking, "I'm getting my hopes up, there's no way they'll accept me." Turns out they won't just put me down so easily.
So, I'm going to the Transfer Services department tomorrow to ask about traveling up there, because they said if some of us get together and want to visit, they'll see if they can fund the trip themselves, and even if they can't, they can get in touch with the Smith/MHC admissions team and work out accommodations.
Sid, from Smith, showed us a novel-sized book when someone asked if she had a list of classes they offer. Guess what I came home to? XD
Craig's been with me all day, pretty much because Mom told him he was going with me. We went to the Met, where I decided I'd definitely do my art history paper/artwork on Vincent van Gogh, went to Gamestop to get him Phantasy Star Portable 2, and then to LaGuardia. He had to sit in a room full of women, haha. He said something about it not pertaining to him, but I told him the other three colleges in the consortium aren't women-only. He kind of hmmed at that.
SO. I will be visiting Smith (and I guess MHC too, but Smith's got better arts/humanities), and if all seems right while I'm there, I'll definitely apply. Not to say I'm not still getting my hopes up, but I'll try. It's my top choice right now.
