<p>Thanks HC-Alum, I'm sorry for the whole misunderstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't have much choice in the Ivy department :'( -- the intensity Swarthmore advertised very much attracted me to the school, but this kind of snooty 'intellectualism' really turns me off. Like you pointed out, Yale was my first choice, but alas, Swarthmore will have to be a good 'back-up.' On a more personal note, is there somewhat of a contingent at Swat composed of students blessed with social skills? This issue, has concerned me from the moment I chose Swat. Any words you have on the issue would be greatly appreciated.</p>
