I guess no news is good news at the moment.
@Student2845 where did you get that info?
Rejected. These guys are mean
Those accepted are probably to busy celebrating right now
I’m not too upset about the rejection. My scores were abysmal and I live way too close to Swart (lack of geographical diversity). I guess it’s time to move on. I hope we all hear some good news from other colleges in the coming week. Best of luck everyone!
waitlisted
waits another 45 minutes for Duke decisions
45 minutes for duke, God knows how much longer for Cal… Oh and lets not forget stanford tomorrow…
@Islandmg On my waitlist letter.
how did your rejection letter look guys?
swarthmore’s yield last year was 41%, judging off that, they probably accepted a little under 1,000 applicants. Also, 26 people got off the waitlist last year, though it doesn’t say in their common data set how many kids were put on it in the first place
"Dear Timothy,
I regret to inform you that we are not able to admit you to the Swarthmore College Class of 2020.
Please be assured that the Admissions Committee reached this decision after a careful and thorough consideration of your application. We know how much time and energy goes into selecting a college, and your accomplishments are quite impressive. It makes the task of the Admissions Committee even more difficult as we realize we must deny admission to qualified applicants like you, who are appealing to us on a variety of levels. As you know, the competition for admission to the College is keen; many more qualified students apply than we can admit.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your credentials. We greatly appreciate your interest in Swarthmore. We know you will find success and fulfillment as you make your plans for next year.
Sincerely,
James L. Bock"
Rejected…
Still only one acceptance on this thread?? Geesh
S got in after rejection from haverford 2 hrs ago. LOL would it be weird to go to a school that 1/3 of their consortium rejects you. Of note i think in this case applying ED and getting deferred helped him.
Waitlisted… not too bad.
@eskaliding thanks. was just trying to confirm if it was the same one i got.
Just got accepted! Good luck to everyone who didn’t get the response they were hoping for. You all will find the perfect fit.
Wait listed… and participated in DiscoSwat in September
It’s been quite a ride, guys! I don’t usually say things like this, but remember we will all end up at the best possible choice for us. If the schools sees you as a great fit, you most likely are. If it doesn’t, you will be happier somewhere else.
