<p>I just got an email about Discovery Days in September. It says I must apply by August 15, and I need a high school transcript. In the email, it said ask for a transcript before you get out of school, but I just got the email today. I really want to apply, but I don't think I'll be able to get my transcript officially mailed from my school. I am at a precollege program, and I'm sure they have my HS transcript on hand...do you think it would be okay for me to make a copy of that and send it to Swarthmore?</p>
<p>It’d probably be best if you contacted admissions and asked them about it first. You can contact the admissions office, or Jim Bock at jbock1 at swarthmore . com.
It’d say that it’d probably be okay if you explained the situation, but check first. :)</p>
<p>You can fax it from your house too! And if all you can get is your most current report card, I think I read somewhere that that works also.</p>
<p>If we both end up getting in, <em>fingers crossed</em>, it’d be awesome to meet a fellow person who’s interested in Swarthmore. Most others in my class are more invested towards the big shot Ivy’s.</p>
<p>Oh gosh I just went to hell and back to get a hold of my transcript haha
Sent it postmarked Aug 15th though!
Good luck to you both :)</p>
<p>^ and faxed it too</p>
<p>I applied too, good luck to everyone!! </p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people actually get admitted to this/how competitive it is to be part of it?</p>

<p>Son got his email acceptance yesterday and is over-the-top excited! But I am curious how many students were chosen and what does this mean for chance of acceptance?</p>
<p>Accepted! But I second NJMom1’s post. Does anybody have any idea how many students were accepted? It seems like everybody was accepted…</p>
<p>Hello, everyone! I’ll be on my way to Swarthmore, Penn from NYC :).</p>
<p>Does anyone know if interviews are mandatory or optional?</p>
<p>HS senior in our home was not accepted with a 2100 SAT and 4.0 GPA… 
Also, not all Discovery students are accepted via regular admissions. Not sure if any data from Discovery Weekend is used in the admissions process. Enjoy the trip…</p>
