Too quiet on Swat's CC?

<p>I feel like the activity on CC has been really low this year. Given the application drop last year, should we be concerned? </p>

<p>Swat ED applicants are a self-selecting group. For the past few years, the activity has been very low. </p>

<p>I agree with @Helium47. I’m an alum, and mentioned to an administrator that I follow the Swarthmore CC board. She asked whether there was much activity. I said “No”. She said “I like to hear that”. The point is that so much of CC traffic is status-driven, and if you are purely status-driven you’re less likely to be looking at Swarthmore. </p>

<p>I’d suggest a lot of the noise has disappeared with the advent of online acceptance letters. </p>

<p>No more…did you get one in Colorado, I’m in Iowa…that means yesterday, now what? The international students seemed completely lost on the letter mailing process as well. </p>
