<p>Applications were up 17% from last year and 50% in the last three years. Good luck to all the CC applicants!</p>
<p>Thanks for the link! From the list of countries I can tell I wasn't accepted. At least I know.</p>
<p>Looks like Swat accepted more students this year. 929 up from 890 last year. They are targeting a freshman class of 370 this year, up from 365 last year.</p>
<p>Overall acceptance rate dropped from 17% at this point last year to 15% this year.</p>
<p>Two demographic changes jump out a bit. Latino/a acceptances are up to 19% of the total, up from 15% last year. Asian American acceptances are down a bit, from 22% to 18%.</p>
<p>Yeah daniel, same in here. I can tell that i wasn't accepted</p>
<p>That is woeful of Swarthmore to issue a press release regarding stats when students haven't even found out whether they are in yet. My D is very disappointed not to see our country represented, therefore indirectly telling her she was rejected. Shame on you, Swarthmore! These applicants worked hard and deserve better.</p>
<p>im anxious now...texas was the 5th state listed in the list, and 55% of public high school kids were admitted. D:</p>
<p>@Jchu41....it said 55% of those admitted were from public schools, not that 55% of public school applicants were admitted</p>
<p>Wow, I'm surprised Swarthmore's down to 15% admit rates....in my Fiske 2008 college guide (I'm such a geek haha) it says it has a 22% rate, a statistic I'm assuming came from the data from the class of 2010....even in 2 years, thats quite a jump!</p>
<p>so when can we know the result?</p>
<p>Wow 15%, sure feels good to have been accepted early write..
Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>the class of 2010 had an acceptance rate of 19%.</p>
<p>15% is kind of crazy. good luck to all of those who will hear very soon. hopefully i'll see you next year.</p>
<p>Oh my god, the class rank statistics are terrifying.</p>
<p>Rejection written between the letters...</p>
<p>that's a crazy amount of diversity. I'm feeling like I wasn't accepted... white girl with average stats. oh well.</p>
<p>Oh well....My country is not listed either :(</p>
<p>My country is on the list... I just wonder if its me or someone else from here that got in!?</p>
<p>Maybe Swarthmore will turn into the next Harvey Mudd - More students for engineering than any other major. For a liberal arts college that's pretty interesting.</p>
<p>I agree that the diversity is extremely high. This does not bode well for my white male self, especially because I applied for engineering which is now the most popular major apparently.</p>
<p>This admissions cycle could get <em>very</em> interesting :)</p>
<p>"California and New York are the most highly represented home states of members of the newly admitted class" but only "9 percent from schools overseas".</p>
<p>Both apply to me so I don't know whether to be optimistic or not!</p>
<p>You have posted this message in three different threads and you have a very strong point to make. I hope you have taken the time to let the Swarthmore Admissions office know how you feel. I don't recall the "press release" ever occurring this early in the process, and they should be told what you have repeatedly told all of us who read this forum. Whatever the official Swarthmore decision is for your daughter, I hope that she will still have terrific choices to make.</p>
<p>my country's not listed :( did they HAVE to publish those stats before the rejection letters came..meanies! :@ I know, I shouldn't complain...but still, the whole college application was a good time to learn the art of being rejected. :D</p>
<p>My country is not listed either :(</p>
<p>If one of you would e-mail Admission Dean Jim Bock about the timing of the press release and its impact on international applicants, I am fairly certain Swarthmore would delay the press release starting next year.</p>
<p>The last thing they would want to do is intentionally hurt applicants. They probably just didn't think about it.</p>
