<p>I think you've got a decent shot. </p>
<p>Did a Swarthmore admissions rep visit your school in Compton?</p>
<p>No they did not visit</p>
<p>Thanks, I was just curious. The admissions officers at Swarthmore have a policy of trying to visit "x" number of "non-traditional" feeder high schools on every trip. I was just wondering.</p>
<p>Your class rank is really good. I don't know what MESA is (I probably should, my bad), but he Compton Youth Council sounds like an interesting essay topic. Obviously, being a first-generation Mexican immigrant from Compton is a big plus in admissions..</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>MESA is Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement.</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot! Swarthmore is known for accepting students with unique situations that can contribute to a diverse community.</p>
