Swarthmore 2015 RD Applicants!

<p>Congrats raiderade!</p>

<p>I’m with you on that one via… aksdjflkasjdf</p>

<p>Is there anyone else who still hasn’t received their email with the information on how to check your application status? :/</p>

<p>Heh. Apparently I’m a Swarthmore RD applicant? They just sent me a checklist of materials to be sent, even though…I never applied. I would have!</p>

<p>@xavier110: i think they did because you selected swarthmore on your common app?</p>

<p>@ all: i just received an email saying my application (send in july and october) was complete. i hope they’re up to schedule with everyone else’s.</p>

<p>They say I submitted most of my materials. LOL</p>

<p>Hey guys; I’m joining the thread. I just visited Swarthmore yesterday at the end of a northeast college tour and had a wonderful time. Class (Modern China) was great, students were great, campus was great: I loved everything about the school and it is now my (almost) undisputed first choice.</p>

<p>I’d love to be accepted. Problem is, I still haven’t received an e-mail confirming I’d applied. I sent in my application early on Jan 3, which, as has already been documented in this thread, may or may not have been the deadline. Of course someone earlier said he called and was told he was fine, but I’m concerned.</p>

<p>Anybody else still not received an e-mail? Obviously I should just call the admissions office, but I’m just wondering if my situation isn’t too abnormal.</p>

<p>But yeah, go Swat. I loved it.</p>

<p>williefresh,
Glad you liked your visit. I would call the Admissions Office on Monday, just to make sure.</p>

<p>Anybody who hasn’t received a message about your materials, I would call. I too am a Swarthmore RD applicant, I’m incredibly nervous, Swarthmore is almost definitely my first choice.</p>

<p>Just confirm, how and when exactly do we receive RD notice of admissions decisions?</p>

<p>^I got curious because they say “by April 1st” but they send it out before then, so i went to the 2014 RD thread and looked when people got decisions and it looks like around March 27th was when most started coming in, but terrifyingly (for me) several CCers got acceptance decisions earlier than that in mid-March (14th onward) with messages like “We wanted to let you know early.” Gonna be one stressful March.</p>

<p>I’m so grateful I’m already in! But now I have so long to labor over my decision :(</p>

<p>if you get a letter really early, in mid-March, surely it’d be because you got in and you were a strong candidate?
it’d be a bummer if they wanted to let you know early that you DIDN’T make it in.</p>

<p>early writes come in march usually for urms and recruited athletes or top applicants. if you don’t get one don’t worry.</p>

<p>What percentage of the total applicant pool defines “top applicants”?</p>

<p>you’ll have to ask admissions about that.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>d’ya think they might like unhooked white nerdy males who are interested in engineering?</p>

<p>definitely a shoo in :wink:
im awaiting to hear back also…
but im a female and have some asian in me so im pretty set haha</p>

<p>I am so anxious! Luckily I have a mole in the admissions office via the track and field program lol. But hope all of you get in and hopefully a lot of us will meet in person some day!</p>

<p>Well, that’s kind of disappointing that I got my early letter because I’m a URM… I was getting a big head because I thought I was a top applicant.</p>

<p>But still, happy!</p>

<p>I got in, but ill put myself on the list for statistical purposes.</p>
