<p>thank you 16B2 :)</p>
<p>Accepted! I would like to thank all of you for helping me get through this final week as I was worrying about this all week.</p>
<p>To those of you who have been rejected, I am confident from reading this forum that all of you will end up at an amazing college and do very well. </p>
<p>For you ED2ers and RDers, I will not be sharing my statistics on this forum. I can tell you that I was no where near the top of Swarthmore’s statistics ranges but that is not what matters. I did not think I would get in because my statistics were not good enough. This did not happen, so I would recommend being very clear in your application why you want to go to Swarthmore and what you are passionate about. </p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>tyler- your stats were “nowhere near” swat statistics?.. are you an athletic recruit or a minority? what was your “Why Swarthmore” essay about? im just trying to learn from this experience so i can do better on my RD’s, so please dont take this offensively.</p>
<p>Sadly I was rejected. I was not expecting this… but I am determined to persevere. Good luck to the rest of you.</p>
<p>Well, the letter didn’t come. I don’t know how I’ll survive the wait until Monday…</p>
<p>It’s so hard to hear about all the rejections. I hope you all find a great place. You’ve been so helpful getting me through this week.</p>
<p>tieeris, </p>
<p>No offense taken. My point about statistics is this: I was NOT below Swat statistics, I was just average with class rank and test scores (ACTs were in Swarthmore’s range, but towards the bottom). I wrote my Why Swarthmore? essay about being a nerd and hearing a phrase when I went to Swarthmore that is is “where your inner nerd is your outer nerd.” I included details about how I was looking for an academic experience. As to your question about being an athletic recruit or minority, I am neither. I don’t really have nay special circumstances besides that I’m a first generation college student. I also led NASA rocketry projects and other rocketry projects. I wrote my main essay about this and it taught me where hard work can get you. I related it to a class I took on constitutional law and how I decided I wanted to become a constitutional lawyer and eventually help developing democracies set up just legal systems. </p>
<p>Be yourself and you will do great! Let me know where you end up going on here. Good luck and I hope this helped!</p>
<p>what state do you reside in?</p>
<p>i was expecting to get rejected, so i’m not SO heartbroken, but it’s still obviously really upsetting…to say goodbye to being a swattie…</p>
<p>in any case, i guess it’s best to just move on, although it will take my mind a while to stop googling random facts about swarthmore etc. etc. it’s weird that my rejection is no longer just a surmise, but actually official.</p>
<p>sigh…</p>
<p>@collegeearly: totally with you on that haha. But I’m sure you’ll go to an awesome school anyway. ^^ Where else are you looking?</p>
<p>Any internationals got the email?</p>
<p>yea, I’m British…so I call my mum mum. :)</p>
<p>^^this is the answer to Swat’s question/statement</p>
<p>For all of those who did get in, please DO NOT join the fraudulent “Swarthmore College - 2014” group. It was created in September, and has been found to be a scam.</p>
<p>There is a new group that a Swarthmore student started (and you can verify that). It is called “Swarthmore Class of 2014” and has the group number 213471088128.</p>
<p>[Swarthmore</a> Class of 2014 | Facebook](<a href=“Facebook Public Group | Facebook”>Facebook Public Group | Facebook)</p>
<p>wen are the internationals going to receive notifications???..</p>
<p>I dont know…I got nothing so far…I check my email box every morning, afternoon and evening and receive nothing but “The Official SAT Question of the Day”… btw,where r u from, confusedgirl?</p>
<p>@mathgeeeek…em frm nepal…u???..pls inform immediately wen u receive urs n i’ll do the same…thnxx</p>
<p>@confusedgirl: Im in china…quite near nepal…well, as soon as i get the notification no matter good or bad, i’ll definitely let u know.</p>
<p>deferred as well … 
well I’ll just have to wait until April to find out if I got accepted or not. </p>
<p>Does anyone know the percentage of deferred applicants that are admitted?</p>
<p>@treing: I’m guessing that that was directed at me - I’m in Washington (the state, not the city.)</p>
<p>@SprioSpero: I also live in WA, and my letter came yesterday. So yours should be coming tomorrow if it hasn’t come already!</p>
<p>Rejected. Sigh, now to more apps! YAY, haha.</p>
<p>Congrats to all who got in! And those who didn’t, there’s always another college, right? :)</p>
