Undergraduate / Smith College supps - I want to mature into a whole person [6]
Please help me with the following two supplements. Welcome any criticisms =) Thank you very much in advance
1/How did you first learn of Smith College and why are you applying? 500 characters
"Above 46000 Smith alumnae ensure to assist Smithies with internships and careers"-my friend shared the statistic when discussing some colleges with me. I am not simply amazed at the huge number of successful graduates but the massive commitment to Smith. I picture myself in a both academically prominent and caring environment that will urge me to mature into a whole person. More thousands of excellent graduate Smithies will head back to their root and be helpful, and I long to be one of them.
2/When Smith College was founded in 1871, there were few educational opportunities for women. Is a women's college still relevant in 2009? 1000 characters
Women's lives nowadays even get more struggling than ever due to career, domestic and social demands combined. That is why I highly appreciate the existence of a female college today as it creates opportunities for a young woman to fulfill her abilities and prepare her well for those challenges. She will live in an environment specially designed for female only, receiving the most considerate attention from professors and faculties and suitable conditions to pursue her education. Furthermore, school spirits may enable her to enjoy life fully. Participating in community services to help her society, coloring her day with artistic and cultural events, and having friends who share not only the same biological gender but also similar perspectives and dreams- all are essential for a girl's development. I believe those precious experiences at a women's college will teach a woman how to balance her life and achieve self-satisfaction in any fields.
