Does anyone log on CC and think "I'll never get in"?

<p>I’ve heard Swarthmore is good place to apply if ECs are a bit weak. They look more at GPA, tests, etc. IF what I’ve heard is true, that is.</p>

<p>A kid from my school got in Swarthmore ED with a perfect transcript, 33 ACT but also didn’t make NHS because of weak ECs until his mom called and ragged that he was a straight A student that wasn’t admitted, so they added him late. He did play 4 years of a time consuming sport, though.</p>
