<p>I just decided to apply to swarthmore, and while my application will be in before the deadline, I'm out on winter break and won't get back until Jan 3rd. Should I bother applying, or will they throw out my application if my sat scores and transcript/recs aren't there on time?</p>
<p>I assume you mean applying for regular decision, correct? If so,SAT scores won't be a problem, they don't care if they're a bit late. You can call the admissions office and explain to them your sitatuation and that you'll try to get everything in ASAP. </p>
<p>If you're thinkng about EDII, it might be quite a bit more difficult.</p>
<p>on the postcard i got for confirmation of receiving my application...it said that the deadline was moved to Jan. 20th..</p>
<p>so i think you should be fine, unless you are applying winter early decision.</p>
<p>awesome, I didn't know the date changed. yes, I am applying RD. Thank you so much!</p>
<p>the deadline for the application itself? or just the supplemental materials (scores, recs, etc.)?</p>
<p>the rhyme on the post card is as follows:</p>
<p>While others are thinking of New Year's resolutions,
You're strapped with app deadlines, but we have a solution.
We're extending your deadline a week or two,
To perfect essays and other application "to-dos."
So, If Swarthmore is still on your college list,
Submit your app by Friday, January 20th.</p>
<p>And if cash is tight for 2006,
The Dean has said, "The app fee is on me,"
So no worries, you're not in a fix.
Just include this card with your applicaiton,
And you'll get a decision near spring vacation.</p>
<p>so...make of it what you will?</p>
<p>um.. and on the other side...it said if there were any questions.. to email Suzi Nam (<a href="mailto:snam1@swarthmore.edu">snam1@swarthmore.edu</a>)</p>
<p>hope i helped.</p>
<p>oh my gosh that rhyme is so cute... haha</p>
<p>man, I wish I had received one of those. I guess I'll just keep trying to finish my supplement before tomorrow...</p>
<p>I am sorry, but I do not see any information confirming this change on the swat website. Can someone direct me to this announcement?</p>
<p>it was on a post card... i really have no idea where it is on the website though...</p>
<p>walterfstarbuck... i completely agree!! hehe</p>
