Looks like one doesn’t exist, so here we go.
Yay! Hello, people. Swarthmore is my first choice school. These last three weeks until decisions can’t go by fast enough! I hope everyone else waiting on a decision is having fun in their senior year!
Looks like notification time is March 24 at 6PM?
How do you know?
It’s on their admission page saying the RD notification will be by March 24. It also says they are posted at 6 PM. I was thinking it says “by” March 24 because some people may find out sooner through early writes.
@whata777 has Swarthmore sent early writes in the past?
@clueless96 Yes. People post each year about getting them starting right about now.
Have the early writes already been sent out? I was really really hoping for one, but it’s already the 11th so I probably didn’t (especially considering the decision is in less than two weeks).
@maestroarvind The first post last year saying that someone had received an early write came on March 13th. If they’re following the same pattern this year, then I think we can expect to know if we’ve gotten one in the next few days!
@Larensea alright then, so not all hope lost just yet! My brother (class of 2017, currently at Swarth) got one which he thinks was dated March 6th though…
My friend just got accepted through early notice
@ThatGirlCoder was it via email or snail mail?
@clueless96 snail mail
I see. What was the date on the letter?
March 9
Thank you. @ThatGirlCoder I am assuming, your friend lives in the US?
Yes, she does 
If the early write mentioned above was dated March 9th, then U.S. applicants who receive one should have it delivered by tomorrow or early next week. It wouldn’t make sense if the letter arrived later because admissions decisions are coming out by March 24. Was the letter sent USPS via priority mail or standard mail?
I just got an early write from Swarthmore today, dated 3/9! It was sent via regular mail.
@allista Congrats!! What part of the country are you from?
