Requirements
Smith College Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to college partners on October 16, and Smith College may need a couple of days to import them into their system. Once processed, Smith College will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit.
Available through applicant portal. Smith does not require additional writing samples, but they ask students to answer some quick biographical questions through their portal.
Have your counselor email or mail official transcript(s) to the Smith Admission Office (see Contact Information below), or your counselor can submit through Slate.org.
Have your counselor send senior grades as they become available. If official first quarter or first trimester grades are not available by the deadline, in-progress grades are accepted. Counselors can email grades to the Admission Office or submit through Slate.org.
Smith College has been test-optional since 2009 and remains test-optional today. The submission of SAT or ACT scores is optional for all applicants.
2025-2026 CSS Profile

Available Oct. 1
Please select Regular Decision as your admission application type.
If your parents are divorced or separated:
- Both of your biological/adoptive parent(s) will complete their own CSS Profile with different log-in credentials. It is highly recommended that the student and custodial parent start the CSS Profile first, as the non-custodial cannot submit information until the student selects a school that requires the submission of non-custodial parent information.
- Your non-custodial parent must submit the online Non-Custodial Profile after creating a separate College Board account.
Signed, with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms, and other earning statements. Include personal and corporate/partnership tax returns.
Your non-custodial parent must also submit copies of their 2023 federal income tax returns, signed with all schedules, attachments, W-2 forms and other earning statements.
