<p>I got a postcard in the mail today saying that their deadline has been extended to Jan. 15? Anyone else received notice about this? But on the common app, it still says their RD deadline as Jan. 1.</p>
<p>I got this too, and it says I got a fee waiver… is this good or did everybody get this?</p>
<p>They have done this before in prior years.</p>
<p>My son got one too. Glad to hear it’s not a Haverford dirty trick :-)</p>
<p>But is this just an admission rate scheme type thing where they want more people to reject, or does this mean we’re targeted or something?</p>
<p>I’m not applying to Swarthmore, and I got this postcard too, so I wouldn’t read into in too much.</p>
<p>Has it been extended for International Students too?</p>
<p>I didn’t get a postcard and I’m applying… Did they extend the deadline for everyone or just selected individuals?</p>
<p>On the website it still says January 1st is the deadline.</p>
<p>The postcard says:</p>
<p>To use this fee waiver and extension, check the box for the “Will Mail Fee Waiver” option in the payment section of the Common App. The next step is to mail and/or scan this postcard and return it to the attention of the Office of Admissions with your application. If you plan to scan this postcard, please send it to <a href=“mailto:discover@swarthmore.edu”>discover@swarthmore.edu</a></p>
<p>^^ wait what…I think I threw the postcard away…</p>
<p>nevermind haha, false alarm. yep it does say that! i assume we just have to scan the side with our address?</p>
<p>I wasn’t planing on applying, but since I got the fee waiver, why not! </p>
<p>I’m not sure if I should snail-mail or email it, what are you guys doing?</p>
<p>how did you guys get the fee waiver?</p>
<p>Does this deadline extension apply to ED II applicants, too?</p>
<p>I got it in the mail like last week. That’s so weird that it’s not extended for everyone…</p>
<p>CesVar: Since they said e-mail is fine, you could go with e-mail since it is more convenient.</p>
<p>I really wonder who’s getting this extension. Unfortunately, if I got a postcard, it was likely mailed to my school address, which I can’t check until January 5. :(</p>
<p>Guess I’ll just have to submit it on time.</p>
<p>I wasn’t expecting the extended deadline but I’m definitely going to use it! However, on the common app they haven’t changed the deadline yet, it still says 1/1/12. Will I still be able to submit my supplement after that date, before the new deadline?</p>
<p>What a bummer–my son didn’t receive a post card. :(</p>
<p>I got one as well! I was already planning on applying, and Swat is one of my top choices, so it just made my day, hahah. I do think it was only sent to minority students though – if I recall correctly, it said that the minority recruitment office (or something to that affect) sent it.</p>
