Early Writes?

<p>Does Swarthmore send them? I heard they do, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>Yes. I believe they do mail some early write decision letters.</p>

<p>I think they do, but mostly (only?) to "diversity admits".</p>

<p>My d, who is not a "diversity admit," got an early write 4 years ago. Don't know if they are doing them this year, but I would not be surprised if they are.</p>

<p>It may only seem like that. Last year, more than half of Swarthmore's total acceptance letters went to US "students of color" or international applicants. So, the admits are going to include a LOT of diversity students.</p>

<p>Any idea around when they might arrive? Definitely on pins and needles!</p>

<p>From what I've read, last year they arrived around the 15th or so, but I have no clue about this year...</p>

<p>I GOT INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
thank you so much swarthmore!
It was an early acceptance. Are these hard to get??</p>

<p>OMG! They definantly sent out early writes because I just got one!! :D
and the date on the envelope was march 10th, so they just sent them out!</p>

<p>Congrats! I don't think I care about getting in anymore because I am definitely going to Oberlin but an acceptance letter would still be nice :)</p>

<p>Aww, congrats to the early write people!! :D</p>

<p>I'm very, very surprised I got in!
Had I posted a chances thread, I think people would've said "don't bother".
The only skill I have is the ability to write a good essay. I'm SURE that's the only reason I got in.</p>

<p>My D is also accepted early, she is very excited.</p>

<p>Congratulations everyone.</p>

<p>Yes. Early writes are pretty hard to get. I can't remember the exact number, but maybe a quarter of the acceptances. Maybe a couple hundred. Something like that.</p>

<p>my friend from my high school got accepted early write today. she got one from williams last week as well...but she's pretty sure she's coming to swat. sweet.</p>

<p>Congrats everyone! I hope to see you next year (maybe) =)</p>

<p>I just got one, so i'm pretty excited. I don't know if I will attend, but I'm considering it.</p>

<p>got one
surprised</p>

<p>Congrats to the accepted ones! I kept in touch with someone I met at Swat's discovery weekend, and she got an early write yesterday or so. I expect I'll have to suffer the anxiety until April 1st though :/</p>

<p>to my shock (considering i was rejected for discovery weekend and i have a 3.1 GPA) i received one as well.</p>

<p>Wow I'm happy for you guys, I got in on ED 1 with an early write and was stunned cuz I wasn't expecting it on that day. I'm hoping that my friends who applied Regular also get accepted. Hope to meet y'all soon. Greetings from Ghana</p>
