***Official Swarthmore Class of 2019 RD Discussion Thread***

but still good luck to you!!! @luv2sk8

@igloo256 thank you. you too!

No one says anything on here…
First the sad email… now no excitement here…

Why does the email sound sad?

What sad email?

I’m also an early write admit! Good luck to everyone else who applied RD! :slight_smile:

Does anyone know if Swarthmore only sends likely/early write letters to students of color? A friend of mine from school just got one and she’s latino, and I’ve heard Swat is one of the schools that usually does that. Maybe I’m just freaking out too much because I didn’t get one though?

Hey everyone! To all of those (like myself) worrying because they did not get an early write letter- it turns out Swarthmore really only sends them out to students of color and of low socio-economic status for diversity reasons. In addition, the majority of admitted applicants will not receive early write letters, so never fear!

Huh. I’m an upper-class (Southeast)Asian-American straight male and I got an early write. Maybe there are a few earlies that aren’t URM?

All the for 26th… All the best everybody… Hope to see you guys at Swarthmore later this year.

All – sorry, I happen to know for a fact that Swat RD early writes are not limited to URM, as our son received one just a few years ago. So I agree with the poster who commented that are not so limited. Good luck to all.

So here’s something to talk about while we all wait: Why do you want to go to Swarthmore?

4 hours to go guys

Why is this thread to quiet? Cheer up everybody. And wish you best of luck.

I’m feeling cautiously optimistic, I had a recommendation from an alum and so far I’ve been accepted everywhere except for a waitlist at Williams. Good luck all!

@ch3ssFan97‌ What are your stats dude?

SAT: 2290

8 AP’s: All 5’s except for a 4 on the French.

Pretty good EC’s, don’t wanna go into too much detail right now but decent.

Pretty good Essays all around though it’s tough to say for sure.

@ch3ssFan97‌ Those are some stats man. All the best.

Does anyone know if financial aid comes out today too?

If you turned in all of your forms, financial aid will be available via the online portal as well.
