Hey, fellow PA applicant! :slight_smile:
I think that for Ivy League apps, the best thing to do is raise your SAT score to ~1500. When’s i did some digging on Swarthmore, I found that the average SAT is around 1420. I think that for this school, if you could get your SAT to at least 1400, you’d be okay.
Otherwise, your UW GPA is solid, and you seem to be very involved in your community. I’d say that right now, Ivy League schools are reaches, mainly because of the SAT. You could maybe get into Dartmouth with a higher SAT score, since you’re a legacy. For Swarthmore, the one thing I see that could hold you back is your SAT score. I’m sorry if I’m saying the same thing over and over again, but I would consider retaking the SAT for a higher score.
Anyways I think you’re going to do great, whatever school you go to! Good luck!
