<p>Were you people super human like the rest of the kids on College Confidential? XD</p>
<p>Super human?
Is there a conformation email? My recs aren’t in yet, so maybe then I’ll get one?</p>
<p>I heard that the letters come out before the 15th. Does anyone know if this is true?</p>
<p>“Is there a conformation email? My recs aren’t in yet, so maybe then I’ll get one?”</p>
<p>Right after I applied, I received a confirmation email from CommonApp. </p>
<p>As for the letters coming out before the 15th, I’m not sure that’s true. When I asked the dean of admissions about it, he said that you will probably receive the news on the fifteenth</p>
<p>I’m interested in hearing what people wrote about in their Why Swarthmore essays; why did we like it so much that we applied early decision?</p>
<p>balletgirl, i’ve been worrying about that, does anyone know how we can check our application status online? to make sure they got everything they were supposed to have?
i got a confirmation email from commonapp but not from swarthmore… i’m kinda wounded haha. i’d like some recognition swarthmore!!</p>
<p>The things that stood out about the school for me were the sense of community within the college, the passion for intellect that the student body has, and the quirky feeling of the school.</p>
<p>Probably the same thing most of you all noticed, if you loved it enough to apply early… I just want to go so badly. haha I’m the only one in my family who’s allowed to check the mail in December! I can’t wait to find out… and yet, I’m dreading it!
Anyone feeling the same way?</p>
<p>benadams, i wrote about first collection and how that represents what kind of school i’d like to go to, where learning is this collaborative effort where we all naively try to save the world together haha. i really love my essay. it kinda sucks cause i cant capture that passion for any other “why x college” essay im attempting…</p>
<p>where else are you guys applying?
im doing amherst, haverford, MHC, wellesley, barnard and franklin & marshall</p>
<p>snafflebit that’s exactly what i tried to capture in my essay, i’m just dying to meet some weird people who care intensely and are passionate about something.</p>
<p>december 15th cant come quickly enough…</p>
<p>Williams, Vassar, Connecticut College, and maybe Amherst and Middlebury</p>
<p>Are any of you nerdfighters? That would kind of make my day. </p>
<p>If that word means nothing to you, then just carry on with your lives!</p>
<p>If you are worried about receiving confirmation from Swarthmore, you should only be worried if you do receive a notification from them. That means you are missing something in your application! It’s better if you don’t get a message. </p>
<p>I also wrote my essay about the community of the college. I used a parallel between the negative culture of community within Mormon Utah and the positive culture that exists at swarthmore. Luckily I went in for an interview and showed that I wasn’t super depressed because my essays are hella intense.</p>

And I love YGO Abridged. </p>
<p>Where is everyone from? I’m wondering about the demographics</p>
<p>I will chime in for my D. She will be applying RD and is from Texas. She gave her ED to Rice University and will also apply EN to URoc, RD UT-Austin, and I believe RD to Williams and Amherst.</p>
