my oldest got admission in 7 out of 8 colleges in U.S.A. including smith college. but my husband could not make himself agree to let her go. :(
with full scholarships in some...... :(
i hope there is some silver lining in that decision.
Smith is an awesome college. My SIL went there with including one yr study abroad at LSE. She absolutely loved it because she had an amazing experience, learned a lot, made a great group of friends. Surprisingly, which I think is very important is that Smith has a strong alumni base. If someone from Smith works at a particular company, and finds that a fellow Smithee has applied there, they try to help out as much as possible for that person to get that job, which you dont see with even many ivy leagues these days. Their career center is also great. Besides the fact that its one of the top liberal arts colleges she also had a great group of friends that were caring and supportive. You shouldnt be afraid of letting her go specially if you trust her judgment.
It's also a somewhat of an all girls college so maybe that could have made the decision easier for you guys letting her go?
Whatever you guys choose in the end, hopefully it will be best for her iA.
