<p>Hey, all--</p>
<p>Already applied (RD); just playing the waiting game now, like everyone else. While waiting, though, it's nice to obsess about something other than MIT (which has those thrice-be-damned admissions blogs, making it very easy to obsess over!).</p>
<p>I didn't really consider Swarthmore in the running until, through an idle question at a College Fair I was dragged to, I found out that Swarthmore is one of the only (if not <i>the</i> only; I really don't know) small liberal arts colleges with an engineering program. I'm thinking of becoming an engineer (possibly Mechanical), but you never know-- what if I discover my calling as a Philosophy major in the middle of Fluid Mechanics? This is where a more varied place like Swarthmore comes in handy.</p>
<p>So anyway, the point of this post is a general request for any information anyone may have about the Engineering program at Swarthmore. Any other math/science geeks applying to Swarthmore, or are we drowning in a sea of English majors? And presuming I get in, anything you'd suggest seeing when I finally get to tour?</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, and how do you, personally, pronounce it?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
