***Swarthmore RD Class of 2022 OFFICIAL THREAD***

How about your “Why Swarthmore” essay?

I liked it. I really said why I liked Swarthmore’s programs and why I believe Swarthmore’s campus was a good fit for me personality wise.

@person2000 that makes two of us. Not sure why I’m so excited for decisions haha

In my opinion, you have already done what you can do. Swarthmore is kind of self-selecting. I saw few cases of people getting accepted by Ivies and other top schools but rejected by Swarthmore. The admission officers may think you are “over-qualified” or not “Swattie” enough. At the end of the day, college admission is just a crapshoot.

I totally agree @Zackkk. I’m not expecting anything come Friday as I know that Swarthmore is very hard to get into. At least I tried!

Good luck People :slight_smile:

Swarthmore is my top choice but I’m trying not to get my hopes up since there’s a 85% chance I wont get in

@tsmith1017 same with me. lol.
what are your test scores?

This is my top choice, but I’m mid bottom in terms of scores so I’m trying to not get my hopes but I think it’s too late lol

One more day left!

Whoever said they have a 85 percent chance of not getting in I’m right there with you

My scores are at or above the average depending on the section but I’m 99% sure I’m not getting in.

ah yes can’t wait to get rejected

Ready for my first rejection!!! It’s my first reach school decision though so probably first of many.

Ready for my 5th rejection :’)

Yay! at least im not the only person counting down the hours for when I can open my first college rejection :’).

I’m probably going to be checking my portal throughout the day hoping they accidentally release decisions early!! But good luck everyone!!

14 hrs everyone! good luck!

I’m going setting my alarm for seven and going back to bed.

Any clue on odds for 1520 SAT, 4.0 GPA from good school (4.15 weighted)? That seems generally great, but Swarthmore is so selective I have no clue.
