[quote=Anonymous]Swarthmore RD, rejected. 1550 SAT/1570 btw 2 tests; 35 ACT/36 btw 2 tests. 4.0 uw/4.6 w GPA. Well regarded public school in the Midwest. DD had highest rigor, except for a handful of students in multivariable Calc. School does not rank, but she would likely be 6th in her class of 400. 3 varsity sports, captain of 2 in Jr & Sr year. National merit finalist. 4 national awards + state officer in the org associated w/those awards. Excellent teacher recs. The kid does not sleep, but is self-driven and generally happy.

I read her Swat essay, and it seemed good to me. If I recall, there was only one essay for Swat, and it was fairly short, but she went to the max # of words. Her CA essay was excellent. She is down today, but will move on - because what else can she do? She left nothing on the court w/her apps.

The top 2 girls in her class each applied to 30+ schools (though not Swat that she knows of). She will not be able to compete with either of them at any of the overlap colleges still to come this week.[/quote]
