SEMom24, I don’t think you can make any judgment about the likelihood or not of acceptance to the Ivies based on an early write to another school. Each school is different and the arbitrary (to us) nature of college admissions makes the outcome entirely unpredictable for many people. My son received an early write to Swarthmore but was earlier deferred in the ED round to RD at Univ of PA where he is a legacy. UPenn may yet accept him but now he is not bound to attend.
Has anyone received an invitation to Ride the Tide yet? Just want to check that this isn’t some kind of glitch… Before receiving that email, I was unaware that I had been accepted. I think my early write must have been sent to boarding school (currently on spring break).
Yes - my daughter got an invitation to Ride the Tide yesterday and she had gotten the early write last week.
Sounds good–thank you!
Am here just to watch out for a friend’s son, but, as a Princeton grad and mom, and a longtime hiring manager in Silicon Valley, I suspect most of our HR people know Swarthmore. We’re always looking for world-class thinking skills, and care way less about an Ivy brand per se.
When is Ride the Tide?
@BigPapi4 April 23-24. Once you’re admitted, you’ll receive an email about it!
