@ssn365 I feel kinda ignorant but what’s early writes?
I’m kinda upset, I’m not gonna hear back until mid to late May because I changed my application from a first year application to a transfer application.
@ssn365 I’m curious too.
In previous years (not including last year), Swarthmore sent snail mail early notifications to their top RD applicants usually in early March. Then the rest of the decisions were sent out in late March on the portal. Hope that helps to explain it.
Oh so it’s a likely letter.
so, did they send likely letters this year?
Hi all! This is just a note to say good luck to all of you applying RD! Don’t forget to join the Swarthmore College Class of 2022 Facebook group if you are admitted!

@gracecs thanks for the reminder! Hopefully we’ll be able to join you…
Hopefully they come out this Friday!!! Just can’t wait
@person2000 I’m scared to death
Reddit is saying this Friday (unofficially)! Best of luck to all–felt like joining the party
@gracecs Can you please share your stats? Thanks
Admission decisions will be available this Friday at 7pm on the application portal. I asked the college on Facebook.
@SaphaelEterna Thanks so much! Do you know if that’s 7pm ET?
@techilliterate No problem!! And I’m pretty sure it’s ET, I think they would have told me different if I lived in a different time zone.
Greetings from Swarthmore College!
Thank you for submitting an application for first-year admission to Swarthmore College. Decisions will be released online on Friday, March 16, at 7:00pm ET. At that time you will be able to access your decision via your admissions portal.
We received an extraordinary pool of first-year applicants, and we appreciate the care and time you put into your application for the Class of 2022.
Sincerely,
Swarthmore College Admissions
and so the countdown begins
I think my interview at Swarthmore was by far the best of the entire admissions season. The woman I spoke with was a senior at the college and we laughed for an hour over Rihanna and Beyonce and talked about how they are such queens! It was incredible!
I didn’t interview with Swarthmore. I decided to apply the day after the deadline to request an interview. The reason I applied was because my mom’s friend who went there told me I would be a good fit. After deciding to apply, I realized that I really liked the school so now I regret not knowing earlier…
Top LACs like Swarthmore value interest more than any other institution. I hope other parts of your application earn you a spot in the class of 2022. Good luck.
I mean I’m kind of expecting a rejection. The only thing that makes me think that I have a chance is that I am a URM. But of course I’m not banking on that
