<p>lol i like your username
it looks like you have a good chance from what you’ve posted, but what are your ACT/SAT scores?
and make sure you do some kind of community service!</p>

<p>You’re stats fit well with Swarthmore’s averages… but it is a competitive school, and it’s hard to say that anyone is a sure “in.” If you write great essays, though, I would think you’d have a pretty good shot.</p>

<p>Also, the fact that you’re an athlete might be attractive to the admissions committee. Apparently athletics are a greatly downplayed aspect of student life at Swarthmore, so you would definitely have something different to offer from most applicants.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
