Attended discover swarthmore - chance me for Swarthmore?

Hi guys,

I attended the discoswat program and I was wondering how likely it is for a discoswat attendee to get accepted to Swarthmore through early decision.

ALSO

If I recall correctly, an admissions officer there mentioned that if you are a QB finalist and do not get matched, you can choose to submit an ED1 application in early December and they will consider you for ED1.
Is this correct?
How does it work?
If correct, would I be getting my admission result mid-December, along with the other ED1 applicants? (this sounds a little crazy since I’d be sending my application early December and then getting my results in like 2 weeks)

For your first question, I have no idea on the exact numbers but you will probably have a much higher chance than a normal applicant. For example, I went to Williams’ flyin program and they had about a 15% acceptance rate into the program and attendees had a 90% acceptance rate to the college. This is really high and I doubt Swarthmore is nearly this high but it will certainly help that you were in the program.

For your second question, I would go ahead and call them about it. I’m sure they’d be happy to help.
