<p>Agree with ID. Read ID’s posts about preparing a great ‘Why Swarthmore’ essay and good luck! If you are absolutely in love with Swat, consider ED.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Excuse me.
I can’t find ID’s posts about ‘why swat’. Can you give me a link?
Thanks!</p>

<p>You have a shot. Good stats, and definitely an upward trend in your GPA. It all depends on the applicant pool/what they happen to be looking for, as well as your Why Swat essay and recs. GoOd LucK!</p>
