Ask A Swattie Anything

I applied regular decision and did not receive financial aid requests. @salfudgel

@Kelvin82 - I wouldn’t worry about not receiving a financial aid request IF all of your required FA documents were submitted already. What would Swarthmore need to request if all your forms were submitted?
D received no requests for FA info, but she did tell me that her application portal went from an “N” to a “Y” regarding the FAFSA. She submitted her FAFSA in October, but it is just now showing that Swarthmore changed the “received” status.

Hoping original poster is still monitoring - simple question now that more time has passed are you happy that you chose Swarthmore?
(my DD was just accepted - she is very happy. Her mom and I are happy for her as well. The “Sweatmore” rep is always a little concerning, but she is a hard worker, which obviously helped her get in. Any thoughts on the school are appreciated.

I saw on a different thread that you went to DiscoSwat. I’m working on an application and I’m wondering if parents are allowed to come along? I live over a thousand miles away and it might be kind of scary going alone.

I’m going to tag a poster who plans to apply ED to Swat.
@firstgencollege , the first page has some very useful posts to give you an idea of Swat values and religious vibe, which is not dominant.

OP, if you still monitor this thread, what is the Swat experience like for first gen students?
