<p>Omg I got an early write acceptance from Swarthmore today!! I got one from Amherst College last Friday so I'm floating on a cloud right now! Congrats to anyone else who gets this and good luck to everyone else!!</p>
<p>That’s fantastic PKW!!! </p>
<p>I’m sure getting this early acceptance has definitely alleviated quite a bit of your stress! </p>
<p>I guess I will not be receiving an early write :/</p>
<p>i just got the letter in the mail! i was NOT expecting this at all. i actually saw the forms for the overnight visit before finding the actual letter of acceptance (which was at the bottom lol) and was really confused. i finally saw the letter and was ecstatic. i’m still trying to let it sink in…</p>
<p>same, just got one today. 
am happy. </p>
<p>I actually saw the “admitted students website” sheet before anything, so I was confused, too, until I found the letter. YAY!</p>
<p>Our daughter also received her early write from Swarthmore today!</p>
<p>Cool.
Cool.
Cool.
Cool.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all four!</p>
<p>i received mine yesterday!! where are you guys from?</p>
<p>Whoah! I just got an early write too! </p>
<p>Hehe, I’m ecstatic because I didn’t even know Swarthmore sent those out until now.</p>
<p>I got one today too! Congrats you guys! I’m californian :)</p>
<p>The letter mentions that the majority of decisions will come out late March, so don’t worry about it and good luck to all applicants!</p>
<p>Got one today, and I’m ecstatic. I’m just happy I’ve been accepted to one of my top-top choices. =] From San Diego by the way!</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats guys - that is super! S2 got in ED1 and can’t wait to go. Just a suggestion, there is a Facebook group that my son joined regarding admitted Swarthmore students. I am not really literate in Facebook stuff, but he has “met” several classmates on Facebook.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all you potential Swatties! Come back here to ask questions. :)</p>
<p>I’m posting my stats for other people as a reference for future applicants because I know when I was applying, I was so frustrated when people got in but didn’t post their stats.

<p>I got an early acceptance too!
SAT I: 2380, SAT II: 2370, 4.0 GPA (at a pretty easy public school, though), 3 5’s and 2 4’s on APs… But I honestly think it was my Why Swarthmore essay that got me in, especially early, it was probably my best “Why This College” essay, period.</p>
<p>does anyone know when non-early acceptance people find out?</p>
<p>I got my early write acceptance in today too! I was so happy, especially since it’s my first acceptance. My friend got in as well, so I wonder how many they’re mailing out.
I was really surprised because I never thought I could get into Swarthmore, I always considered it one of my reaches! So I’m really glad I got in! yay! :]]</p>
<p>Yes! I got mine today too! 8 acceptances thus far! I was seriously not expecting to get into Swarthmore; it’s only like one of the best schools in the US! I scored a 26 on the ACT for crying out loud! Thank you so much Swarthmore for seeing more than just test scores! Congrats to everyone else and good luck to those still waiting!</p>
<p>ambitiousmind07- i know right! thank god for seeing more than the scores. mine are truly laughable. :] </p>
<p>is swat anyone’s first choice?</p>
<p>articlights:</p>
<p>Swat would typically mail on the 28th or 29th so the letters arrive on or before April 1st. With the weekend, I’m guessing they’ll mail on Friday the 28th.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I also got my letter! I was floored, at first i only saw the overnight visit and i was like what? Than i read the rest and i was soo happy. I am still waiting for a couple of schools but Swat was one of my top schools and i am thrilled i got in and SHOCKED!</p>
