<p>I think you should definitely give it a shot. It is possible that you were rejected from Colgate because of your need for fin. aid. Swarthmore is not need-blind for internationals, but it does have some funds available, so it is worth a try. Your stats are within the range, and your "hook" is good. Make sure to browse their web site, and write a good "Why Swarthmore?" essay...</p>
