Still Tortured by Swat, 2 Months Later

Colleges and Universities A-Z Swarthmore College

<p>So today I received an email from Swat telling me to check the status of my application, here is the user name, blah blah blah.</p>

<p>The problem is that I got this email before and was rejected ED1. Haha. </p>

<p>So I emailed Admissions to give them a heads-up that their alert system must be wrong. Just trying to figure out where the problem was.</p>

<p>... It's just really sick because you hear all those stories about how people got the wrong letter and I did hope that I was actually deferred and not rejected. Pah.</p>

<p>Have any other people had this problem?</p>

<p>Evil Swat- toying with my heart.</p>

<p>Haha, if anyone else got this email, it was a computer glitch (like I expected). Just putting a warning out there...</p>

<p>yeah, i received this email too; what do you mean it was a computer glitch? my password didn't work either, but i emailed admissions anyway to tell them i was unable to login. btw, i'm really sorry that you did not get accepted ed1, really. i'm applying to swat ed2 and there is honestly not a day that goes by that i don't think about the school; it's an upsetting thought to me, i mean the idea of rejection, and as difficult as it is, i'm trying to be prepared for the worst. what schools are you applying to now?</p>

<p>I mean that if you were rejected ED and you got the email, it was a glitch. Obviously ED rejectees shouldn't be getting mail from dear ol' Swat.</p>

<p>Best advice I can give is to use this time to FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR OTHER SCHOOLS. Really. I was thinking about Swat constantly and it STINKS if you get rejected. Don't even think about 'what you'd do if you were accepted,' etc. It just makes it more hard.</p>

<p>...That being said, good luck! I hope you get in and love your time there.</p>

<p>Phew, now I'm applying to (to name a few): Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Northeastern, Colgate, and a lot more (more matches than I have listed here). I probably applied to too many. That's okay, I'd be happy to go to any of them.</p>

5

<p>YAY, you applied to Bryn Mawr after all!</p>

6

<p>Froghorn- Haha, mostly because of you. And their essay isn't bad at all, it was actually pretty nice to write. I'll visit, I don't think the all-girls thing should be such a deal-breaker as I thought it was before...</p>

7

<p>UG i got it too. it made me sooo mad. well first i thoguht "OH! i didnt' get rejected!" and then they emialed me again saying, "woops sry" thanks, swat, thanks, you're a real darling</p>

<p>:) Brillar. You'd like BMC, I bet. And this oversight of Swarthmore's is inhumane.</p>

9

<p>Yeah their response email was sort of like:</p>

<p>"Oops, nope, don't worry, you still aren't good enough. Haha."</p>

<p>But not really. I love hyperbole.</p>

10

<p>I'm sure it was that awful, sanitized **** that all colleges feed the rejected.</p>

11

<p>thanks brillar! and best wishes to you; i'll defenitely keep an open mind about my other schools, i mean wherever i end up and wherever you end up, they're all great schools!</p>

12

<p>ya I too received this email but was already rejected in ED1. The funny thing is that I checked the second email, the one correcting the mistake before I checked the first one...lol</p>
