<p>Northforker,
Congratulations to your daughter and your whole family! Welcome to the Swat family!</p>

<p>Contratulations, Northforker. Perhaps my family and I will see you guys at one of the open days. I know the feeling.. It truly is amaising.</p>

<p>thanks, folks! Looking forward to meeting everyone in sept. I won't post her stats. She can later, when she gets home, if she feels comfortable doing that...Hah! she just call me to read the admission letter aloud to her. She is so around the bend! We still can't believe it! Good luck to all & thanks for your good wishes.</p>

<p>hey everyone</p>

<p>i'm officially a swattie!</p>

<p>YES!!!!!</p>

<p>stats etc. later...need to notify everyone first</p>

<p>Hey... I, like lalol, have been coming to collegeconfidential almost religiously for the past few weeks in anticipation of my Swat Early Decision results but haven't posted anything. I think I've been kind of superstitious about posting stats and whatnot before the decision letter came today.</p>

[</em>] Teacher Recs: Very good. My AP Chem teacher loves me and told me, "you'll definitely get in. i'd say there's a 90% chance of you getting accepted."

<p>cjsb0160 and LuminousStar28,
Excellent news and welcome to the class of 2010 and out little CC group of Swat families!</p>

<p>Hey I was accepted into Swarthmore and want to list stats, but I can't figure out how to use HTML formatting to achieve the desired effect. I'm new to CC forums by the way. Could anyone help??</p>

<p>Hey, FlySwattie, on the first page of this thread there are all of the codes you need. Just delete the spaces that are in the brackets... Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks star!!</p>

<p>My D was accepted recruited lax player. Swat was her top choice from the moment she walked on the campus! Good Luck to everyone,a new journey begins for the class of '10.</p>

<p>Accepted</p>

<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT: 740v / 700m / 730w
[</em>] SAT IIs: 740 Lit. / 650 IC
[<em>] GPA: 3.8/4.0 unw
[</em>] Rank: 20/367
[<em>] Other stats:
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: Mediocre. I think that my main "topic of choice: identity" was pretty good, but my "Why Swat" wasn't that great (I trusted my interview to make up for it)
[<em>] Teacher Recs:AMAZING.
[</em>] Counselor Rec:Good.
[<em>] Hook (if any):
[/ul]Location/Person:[ul]
[</em>] State or Country:PA
[<em>] School Type: Public in suburb. My school is ranked 43/50 in the Philadelphia area (give or take a few points).
[</em>] Ethnicity:Korean
[<em>] Gender:Male
[/ul]Other Factors: Who says that the interview doesn't matter? With weaker essays, I am willing to venture that my interview made up for my "Why Swarthmore." I felt as if I were squeezing a dry sponge. What else was there to say about Swarthmore in a cold, cold essay? The warm interaction that occurred between me and my interviewer was the true representation of who I am. I thrive in social environments, and I think that Swarthmore liked that.
[</em>]General Comments: I've been in Amnesty Int'l, my school's community service organization, orchestra/choir and all that other good stuff for most of my high school career. In addition, I wrote my EC mini-essay on my workplace, somewhere that emphasizes recycling, equality (or opportunity), and strong productivity. </p>

<p>LOVE how the campus is a registered arboreatum!</p>

<p>congratulations!
you can ask me questions, i'm a sophomore.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far! Sigh...I love the Bluegrass, but today I wish I lived in the Northeast.</p>

<p>Hell, I live in NJ and mine didn't get here today. I'm really...dying here.</p>

<p>Wow, I'm really ****ed...I was so ready to get it today, and now I have nothing. Honestly, this is crap, I keep hoping my mailman made a mistake and delivered it to the wrong house, so theyll drop it off later or something, but I doubt it. How on earth did it reach the far corners of LI and not NJ...unless they mailed acceptances priority :-/</p>

<p>Hang in there, NJPitcher - I'm rooting for you. We're waiting in Texas for my d's letter, and it is agonizing. We are happy for the Accepted - but there is still that little twinge that you get when you hear someone say "Bingo!"</p>

<p>Accepted!</p>

General Comments: LuminousStar, I'm in Bergen County too, as is ladylazarus! Is your magnet school BA by any chance?
</p>

<p>Guys, I'm so excited!</p>

<p>***...bergen county, but not essex county. I guess they mailed the acceptance letters priority. I think I'm as annoyed right now as I would've been had I been rejected.</p>
