<p>Hey, </p>
<p>Would being an African-American male, going to a Quaker high school, and being a practicing Quaker (Society of Friends) help?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think it would, but that would not be what would get you in.</p>
<p>i think it'll help... it's definitely diversity.</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>It would be even better if you can turn all that into a really interesting essay!</p>
<p>That's good, there's usually a big turn out for students at the Swarthmore info session at school. My school used to be a major feeder for Swarthmore, but like many other smaller-sized feeder schools, it is no longer the case. However, we still send like 2 or 3 a year there.</p>
