<p>My daughter told me that she received an email from Swarthmore, saying application deadline is extended to Jan 15, can someone kindly confirm ? I called the school but admission office is closed for winter break. when I checked their website, it still indicates Jan 1, very confusing...</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>for what it’s worth there was a similar thread last year. It seems perhaps that minority students were targeted for this postcard mailing, at least last year.</p>

<p>greentean,
My D got this email too last week.</p>
<p>Poem, fee waiver, and everything. Not sure it is for an artificially deflated admit rate, lack of RD apps, or minority recruiting (I am Asian). However, I am still very delighted to receive the email. I already applied to two SLACs (Amherst and Bowdoin). I would love to apply to one more). Swarthmorealso has an engineering program, which is very interesting.</p>
<p>My email said something about select “Online Fee Waiver Request” on the Common App and Swarthmore would just handle the fee and extension. Was that a mistake that was just supposed to mean “Other Fee Waiver Request,” or is there a tab I’m missing?</p>
<p>I didn’t receive the e-mail, so I guess not everyone’s deadline is extended
or maybe because I applied early decision and I already submitted it?</p>
<p>No, it’s “Online Fee Waiver” for me as well… Just put down “Other Fee Waiver”</p>
