Who’s thinking about applying Rd?
My kid is applying. He’s had an overnight visit and a day visit and loved every minute of both. Hopefully the financial aid will work out because I think it would be a great fit for him.
Kiddo submitted his RD application at last.
I have to say, Swarthmore is really on their game when it comes to social media contacts. They emailed me a very nice ‘welcome prospective parent, we are here to answer your questions’ email the minute he finalized the application. I haven’t gotten anything nearly as friendly from any of his other schools.
I somehow got on the prospective students’ email list as well. They really are relentless. I thought it was charming when I got the first one, then it cycled to annoying, now I’m back to thinking it’s hokey but charming. Eat that extra pickle.
@ninakatarina wow, submitting apps so early? ive still got a ton of supplements to write.
I plan to submit my application this weekend! Swarthmore is one of my top two schools and I did an on campus interview a couple weeks ago.
@nikolateslaxxx blame the mean Mom. When his friends were off relaxing this summer I was making the kid slave over a hot word processor and write and rewrite supplements. He’s had most of them drafted since September. He left them alone for a month and then revisited them during Thanksgiving and vastly improved them. Hopefully they’ll be good enough!
@ninakatarina wow he was so productive that I feel ashamed of myself TT_TT I finished my personal statement just 1 week prior to my first deadline (which was Nov 1) and struggled so much to finish all the supplementals by deadlines
Anyone know if they might release decisions early?
doubtful. Why would they?
Even if they have in the past, I wouldn’t count on it. After all, what’s the point of telling everyone that it’s mid-march otherwise?
Alright, confirmed March 15th at 7pm
Just saw the email!!! Only a few more days left.
LOL. Daughter is excited too.
Am I the only one getting anxious? Swarthmore is my top but I feel like it’s such a reach.
I’m not even nervous I just KNOW I’m never getting in
No you’re not the only one getting anxious. At all. We’re in this together.
That’s good to hear. I’m super nervous and looking for friends haha.
I’m anxious and it’s not even me who is applying.
You’ve got this, though, kids. You’re all amazing people and it’s been a privilege to learn a little bit about each of you through your stats posts.
All this waiting is so stressful!!! Any recommended activities to pass the time and relieve stress?
Is there another thread where people are posting stats? Specifically for swarthmore @ninakatarina
excersise! Even walking. @ultimateyikes
