For School & CBO Counselors
Counselors are a vital part of what we do in college admission. You are an important partner in this process, which each year becomes increasingly more complicated and anxiety producing. If hearing from an admission officer can be of benefit to your students and their parents, please reach out!
Smith is one of the largest women’s liberal arts colleges in the United States.
