<p>Hi. I just recently received an application for the discovery weekend at swat. I am really excited about this program and I hope I can get in, but I am a bit apprehenseive b/c I sent the application in late b/c I misread the deadline and thought the deadline was August 31st...not that it had to be sent by August 31st...so I was wondering if anyone else had feedback...Also, did anyone else apply?</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about it. They expect applications to straggle in for a few days.</p>
<p>Discovery Weekend is a great opportunity to see the school, meet a bunch of students and faculty, and find out if Swarthmore's the kind of place you would like.</p>
<p>definitely! Swarthmore is such an amazing school I am expecting that this visit will definetly help me narrow down my choices!</p>
<p>is anyone going?</p>
<p>Hmm, when is this? I don't think I've gotten a mailing about it. I've already visited, though, so I probably wouldn't have made it anyway. Come to think of it, they haven't sent me much at all, and I think I've signed up for the mailing list twice. It would be really sad if they've already rejected me, application-unseen. (joking. I hope.)</p>
<p>i got it. decided not to apply though, as ive already seen it.</p>
<p>really..what did you think of swat?</p>
<p>the campus was gorgeous, the few people i met seemed friendly enough, but because it was summer it was very empty. the one thing i will never forget about swat is the view when you first step off the metro and up the stairs towards the campus.</p>
<p>that sounds so lovely...lol well thanks for sharing</p>
<p>so no one is going?</p>
<p>I just found out I got accepted to go yesterday. I'm really excited!</p>
<p>sweet..ill see you there</p>
<p>i don't think i'll be going considering that i haven't received a response...but please describe the trip after you get back! :) Thanks</p>
<p>just check all your emails because i received mine at gmail.com, which wasn't my "primary" account that i use all the time.</p>
<p>Mkevb1, I'm just curious, when did you send out your application for discovery weekend?</p>
<p>sept 8 but it was emailed sept 7</p>
<p>Oh no, I meant when did you send out your application.</p>
<p>o wow, i guess i can't read. the deadline for application was august 31. so i sent it august 31..</p>
<p>Yeah me too, got to the post office just in time</p>
<p>hold up...didn't the form say to have the applications in by august 31st? so wouldn't that mean that mean that the last day to send the applications would have been august 29th-since it takes 2 days to send...i sent mine on august 30th and i thought it was too late! what's going on here?</p>
