rd decisions are in!! big decisions to make now

<p>Listen, RedBull298, only 10% went out now. The rest 90% go out on April 1. I don't even think all athletes get it now.</p>

<p>This whole early thing is weird, but hey I'll take it, I got one, lol. I thought it was a rejection too, because of the envelope. I got one from Lafayette too, only Lafayette's had scholarships inside lol.</p>

<p>In case anyone's looking for comparison for REGULAR regular decision...

<p>blazianazn Congrats. Is Swat your first choice?</p>

<p>i got in too. go the letter today. I thought it was a rejection letter at first, but I was like.. eh they never reject you early... wait till the last minute so that you have waited your butt off.. hoping. Anyhow. yeah i got in.</p>

<p>EC: Water polo (captain) ever season ended.. i have been gaining weight!! argggh!! , swimming, community service stuff, student council.... senior class something, quiz bowl and academic decathlon ... yeah so i owned at both..., erm a bunch of other craptacular stuff that I can't remember...</p>

<p>MOST IMPORTANT STAT: MIT rejected my butt yesterday, so of course that made me feel so damn wonderful.... apparently i was not of the calibur that was fitting for such a prestigious university =D.. so they printed my rejection letter upside down. man.. that ****es me off more than being rejected. They touted all this crap about caring about individuals.. but they can't even print my letter correctly!!!?!?!!?!?</p>

<p>have CA people received them yet!??!?!?!</p>

<p>yep, I'm from Cali and I got in yesterday! I'm so thrilled! I got to wear my Swarthmore t-shirt for the first time yesterday!!</p>

<p>Where in CA?</p>

<p>I'm in socal and I havent received it yet</p>

<p>haha, notcreativity. sorry about mit, but i hope you home to swat. you seem like a cool guy.</p>

<p>So only 10% of acceptances have been sent out? Good, I still have a chance! I really hope I get in, Swarthmore seems like an awesome place and judging by those on this site, has awesome people too.</p>

<p>is it 10% of acceptances or 10% of the pool?</p>

<p>I'm a CA kid and didn't get mine today either, meaning I will have to wait a few more weeks.</p>

<p>I live in Orange County, California.. close enough to newport.. don't ask.. its just a show.. made in hollywood.</p>

<p>Yes, i've received my app. I am still waiting for duke, rice, amherst, yale, harvard.. psh.. the last two are almost impossible... so whatever..</p>

<p>Listen guys, this is only a small number of acceptances that are sent out. The VAST MAJORITY GO OUT IN APRIL. DON't WORRY!!!!</p>

<p>And to tell you the truth, I wish they did not resort to this....but I'm only a parent.</p>

<p>oh man.. does this mean i have no chance?: the coach said that they are "on the bubble with me" and still does not know what admissions' final decision will be. .. and that it may or may not be what we want to hear. does this sound like a rejection to you?</p>

</p>

<p>No. It sounds like you are in the same boat as the majority of applicants: on the bubble. There are very few automatic "yes" acceptances and most of these have incredibly high-stats and/or special attributes (like URM).</p>

<p>The rest of us wait for the committee to vote "yay" or "nay", often in a split decision.</p>

<p>Don't give yourself a heart attack!</p>

<p>does anyone know what day swat mails non-early notification RD letters?</p>

<p>April 1st maybe? iono... I'm surprised i found early. everything in life for me is usually a rude awakening +_+</p>

<p>did anyone who got an early regular admission from Swarthmore have someone call/email them inviting them to come down to Swarthmore and having Swarthmore offer to pay for the airfare?</p>

<p>it was in the mail letter. must register with BTI travel or something.. so far away though.. late april!</p>

<p>yay got an acceptance letter in the mail today (i live in wa). it is a surprise for me since i dont have "incredibly high stats," nor am i a URM/athlete.</p>
