Calling all Smith(Maryland) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!! 10 Dec 2015, 12:14

Guys,

Completed my interview today with Smith. My interview I feel was more of a stress interview. I was interviewed by Maria who is the admissions Director at Smith. She told me that she had read my application in entirety and discussed specific points about my startup initiatives and my goals. My first stress interview expereince of the admissions season. Don't know what to make out of it.

Had the same kind of interview experience with Maria, I think that's her style of taking an interview

Many congratulations buddy. Can you brief us about the scholarship detail a bit...I am really confused with the things mentioned in the admit letter. Additionally, there is no mention about GA for 2nd year!
