<p>Wait, stop saying the "D" word! Clearly if we're this interested, they should let us in anyway, we all post once a day at least...
Also brillar, crying's just unacceptable. Plus I act, so she probably thought I was fake tearing it. Double no-no.
Oh, and I read the worst interview thing, mine trumps that. And I do like my water luke-warm, maybe Tako and I will both get in.</p>
<p>It's weird, but it's not as bad as acting like a jerk or calling them your safety school (they probably don't get that one often).</p>
<p>I think my level of interest is borderline stalker, haha.</p>
<p>Hey, borderline stalking is a good thing with college admissions! I totally am as well. I have family near Swat, and I always beg my mother to take me by it so I can just looook at the campus one.more.time. =D</p>
<p>Twelve days.</p>
<p>HAHAHAH halima i absolutely savored that story because i know exactly what you mean -- as i was applying to volunteer at a pantry last year i began to talk about what i had seen once in mexico and i got all upset and was liek what is going on right now?! and you cant even stop it!!!! hahah--work it work it =]</p>
<p>Yeah, maybe it can be like a signature thing... Maybe we should just keep our tears to ourselves
I now check the mail hopefully. Yeah, I'm so sure they'll mail it to me especially early because they like me that much.
11 days.</p>
<p>omg me toooo, i keep checking my email obsessively csoue of course it only took them wat, 2 weeks of the only three they had to read our apps? god, i want to get in soooo bad. i told all my friends that if i don't get in, i'm going to buy a trombone, learn to play it, then go live in the woods and play sad melodies on the trombone. (I was tierd, ok?)</p>
<p>Hahah, trombone idea is the best I've heard yet.</p>
<p>Halima- are you applying to Haverford too?</p>
<p>(I was looking at the Hav boards for the heck of it today, just because of their rivalry with Swat, not because I'm interested in them.)</p>
<p>i ahve an idea---you can buy a trombone and live in the swat woods ---maybe you can become like a legend there and then you can still be part of swat--just not technically =]...i think id enjoy late night trombone melodies from the deep woods while im trying to sleep....hah!</p>
<p>Aaah, mentioning the Swat woods reminded me of something:</p>
<p>I said that if I didn't get in I would go to Swat and become a maintenance woman. Swat has those cute little skinny vans that the maintenance people drive on the pathways- I would kill to drive one of those! And then I'd still be a part of Swat, too.</p>
<p>...you caught me...
Well actually the haverford boards were boring so I started posting on swat's. You guys should be honored (not creeped out)...
shhh, don't tell haverford.</p>
<p>Well maybe I'm just actually swat-lusting, because I had a funny thing happen to me while applying to haverford (yes, I'm a traitor)</p>
<p>So, as an inexperienced college applicant, I thought that it would be appropriate in my junior year to email the dean of admissions and tell him that his college was my top choice! Unfortunately, I was in between haverford and swarthmore, so I emailed both identical emails (unethical, but argueably honest). However, to haverford's, i forgot to change the name, and therefore sent the dean of admissions to haverford an email saying that swarthmore college was my top choice.
Touche.</p>
<p>Hahah, niiiiiice one. </p>
<p>It's karma, really. That makes me giggle.</p>
<p>If you get into Haverford and I get into Swarthmore I'll do my duty and make fun of your school at sporting events.</p>
<p>I had NO IDEA this sanctuary existed!</p>
<p>I'd also like to request that you all be less entertaining and clever and Swatlike so that my expectations cease rising.</p>
<p>10 days! Does anyone know how we find out? Online and in the mail?</p>
<p>does anyone here receive emails from the admission office?</p>
<p>I got an email saying to check the online checklist, but that's about it, I think. I haven't checked yet today.</p>
<p>In past years, only international students get emailed notifications from Swat, buuuut: Isn't that online checklist new? If it is, maybe Swat will swing to more online ways of doing things and maybe we'll get notified online too?</p>
<p>Treesnogger- I LOVE your screen name. Really love it. I snog trees when I get the chance too, hahaha. Trees and I, especially a certain tree named Francis that I met over the summer, have very close relationships. Maybe it's why I want to go to a school with an arboretum...</p>
<p>It's certainly why I'm going, Brillar. Good to know I'm not alone.......</p>
<p>Oh my goodness it's almost friday meaning almost the weekend meaning almost next week meaning..........</p>
<p>9 days.</p>
<p>We had an online checklist last year as well. That was relatively new, but Swarthmore won't be notifying online anytime soon, I don't think (not this year, at least). It's part of their whole personal-process attitude about admissions. :D Like, the letters are all signed by the Dean of Admissions. It's cute. E-mails can't do that.</p>
<p>Aaaaawe! That is cute.</p>
<p>And emails aren't as exciting, I don't think. Getting a letter involved walking to the mailbox in anticipation, opening the box, and finding the letter. And then OPENING it. Then there's the possibility of running and jumping back to the house while screaming.</p>
<p>Agreed that the letters is kind of special--you get to keep it if all goes well!...but I wish I knew how long PA-CA mail took!! Aaahh!</p>
<p>Also: I have a really obnoxiously long last name, so I never really got around to changing my email (which matches my screenname) to something generic and professional-sounding...so I applied with treesnogger and only really thought about how dorky that was afterwards. At least it's Swarthmore. They ought to understand.</p>
