At Smith we look at the whole applicant and do not rely on a test score to define your potential for academic success. Your academic record, extracurricular activities, essay, recommendation letters, personal accomplishments and characteristics, and engagement in your community are all carefully considered during our review and selection process.
 
First year applicants may apply to Smith under one of three decision plans: Early Decision I, Early Decision II, and Regular Decision. There is no application fee. The submission of SAT or ACT scores is optional for all applicants.
 
International applicants are required to demonstrate English proficiency and may be required to submit testing. Please see our website for more details.

Transfer students must have completed at least one semester at any of a variety of institutions, including four-year private and public colleges and universities, and community and junior colleges.

Smith uses the Common Application for all transfer student types (Traditional Transfer, Ada Comstock Scholars, and Visiting Students.) Please be sure to select the applicable program when applying. There is no application fee.
