<p>For starters, the 33 on the ACT helps. Have you interviewed at Swarthmore? That would help, in that it would give you a chance to state your case directly. One thing for sure, Swarthmore like virtually all top colleges, looks at students holistically. So your essays on why you want to attend Swarthmore, your recommendations, and your counselor’s statement will play major roles in how the ad com regards your app. Good luck!</p>
