I'm taking AP English, AP Spanish, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry and Advanced Precalc which will turn into Calculus next semester.
I think my essays were a good portrayal of who I am, and I think I picked the right teachers for recommendations. I was also nominated by my school for consideration for the Swarthmore merit scholarship. Someone from my school already got in for ED 1. Do you think I still have a chance?</p>

<p>Sorry if you've seen this post before, but I just need some other thoughts.
Thanks! :)</p>

<p>I think you have a chance, especially since you're applying ED. I think your SAT's are not so wonderful that the adcoms will decide upon your admission based on this factor...but then Swarthmore's not the type of school that would make decisions on this premise in the first place. Don't be discouraged if your scores aren't what a lot of the applicants' are; I got accepted with similar stats. If you're happy with and put your all into the essays, that's great - the "Why Swarthmore" is a major factor throughout admissions. Good luck!</p>
