So I am the first one in my family to go through the college admissions process. I come from a south-eastern high school where most kids who are successful go to our state schools. I really want to go to Swarthmore because I think I would love learning engineering in a liberal arts environment. I’d also have the opportunity to have an unrelated double major or minor. Basically explore my passions while still prepping for the real world. Anyway here goes nothing.
