<p>I am thinking about applying to Swarthmore and was wondering what my chances are. I take all AP and honors classes that are available where my average (weighted) is 105.47 and I am ranked 2nd in my class. For my extracurriculars, I do UIL, lit. crit., science bowl (VP), science olympiad (VP), science fair, book club (P), drama team, photography club, key club, national history day, and honor court. I also tutor, babysit, and work at half price books. For the SAT , I get a 690 for reading, 720 for math, and 740 for writing. What are my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>If you write good essays i would say you wil be competitive since hardly anyone is a shoe-in. You have time so you could probably try to bring up the 690 or take the act just to see if a better score is possible to increase your chances but its not like your scores are even bad in the first place. Your ec’s seem pretty normal and nothing spectacular but so are most applicants so thats why i say you are in it with the rest of us, but definitely not an automatic reject. We cant say for sure what your chances are. try looking at stats of those accepted ed to see if you objectively look like any of the candidates, and then for the next few months try to get better than them.</p>
