@berkdork I noticed that too and it’s definitely a cause for concern; hopefully we’re just reading too much into it. It’s strange though, it seems last year, acceptances and rejections were sent out at approximately the same time, so this may just be early acceptances for shoe-In candidates?
I started my application an hour before it was due so i wasnt expecting much but I got an email today and i got into the october date! Super excited for this. I wrote the same topic as @HeyyyyJanie lol.
Does anyone know what the stats are for just getting into discoswat? Like how many people apply and how many actuallt get in? Im not sure how competitive the program is. Also i applied for the windows on williams program and Im going to apply for the amherst and pomona one soon.
Something I’ve noticed: are decisions always released on a Friday?
@Exwire If that’s the case, I really hope that doesn’t mean we have to wait another week to hear any news back…I’m already assuming the earliest we’ll hear back at this point is Monday since I can’t imagine them sending anything over the weekend.
Congrats to everyone who received the acceptance letter already! I guess I will wait till Monday and see the result… Well done Swarthmore for the dramatic suspense, definitely got me there :))
Congrats! I’m from PA as well. Still waiting on the email though.
@Doooooominic Which city in PA?
Hi everyone! I sent my application on the day it was due only because it took me a while to get my counselor’s information. Anyway, I’m really nervous because I’ve seen some people have been admitted to the program (congratulations btw!) I haven’t gotten an email and I am honestly hoping for the best.
Harrisburg. I doubt that’s where you are from though haha
Agh I don’t think I can wait for the next Friday!!! Hopefully there’ll be some more notifications tomorrow aaaaaaaaaa the wait is killing me .
Does anyone know how bad it would be to be accepted, then have to decline the offer? I was accepted to the September date on Friday (which was the only one of the two I could attend), but also on Friday received an email about my school’s senior class trip which is mandatory for all seniors. I can’t attend DiscoSwat but not for a silly reason, I am required by my school to attend a trip which unfortunately falls on the exact same dates.
If you’re asking if it will negatively impact your standing for app season, then no, it won’t likely be too big a deal. Emergencies come up all the time that could prevent someone from going to an event, they’ll most likely be understanding if you explain the situation to them. @yonceonhismouth However, is there anyway to explain DiscoSwat to your school to cut some strings and allow you to attend the event? I’d much rather go there than to a school function, maybe if you explain how selective the program is, they’ll make an exception for you and allow you to go. Best of luck, and congrats on the acceptance! (:
Hey guys, I contacted the admissions office this morning. For those of us who have not yet received any email from Swarthmore, there’s no need to fear yet. They are still in the process of sending out decisions, both acceptances and denials.
@Doooooominic I’m from York! About 30 mins away from Harrisburg 
@markb2017 did they say when they’d send out the rest?
@markb2017 That’s good news, but I hope they send out the rest of the results soon, regardless of whether it’s an acceptance or rejection I just really want to know!
I hope soon means later today XD
My friend just told me that all acceptances are out (from Friday). Wait lists and denials are coming. Hopefully she is mistaken, but she is usually right.
@spydantheman1 Whenever I contacted them, I was told that it will be soon. @desie1 I sure hope that your friend is wrong. I was accepted to a similar program at Dartmouth this summer. I thought my app for is was really good and that I almost for sure had it. I guess if I don’t get accepted it will help me check my ego in the future, lol.
@desie1 does your friend work at Swarthmore or something? Because otherwise, sounds like a guess that anybody could make?
