[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In at Swarthmore! Last of five. Guess I need to give up this DCUM habit now. [/quote]

Our kid was denied - what was your student's profile, if you don't mind sharing?[/quote]

So sorry. My first had some disappointments but ended up very happy and doesn’t think twice about the places where he didn’t get in. Yours will find the place.

4.0/4.93 in an aggressive AP-heavy schedule at a solid public. No score. Lots of ECs but nothing over the top. Extremely committed student. Worries me sometimes. [/quote]

Thank you so much, Swarthmore parent! My kid is actually pretty sanguine about it, which is great/a relief. Congrats to your DC & appreciate your kindness![/quote]

For the parent of the soon-to-be Swarthmore student -- stay in touch with them.  I'm a grad and the place can get pretty intense.  Most of the students are used to be the best at their school and some of the classes/professors are extraordinarily challenging.  Great school, but being small it can be easy to lose perspective when you are there.  Try to encourage involvement in clubs, sports, etc. if possible![/quote]

Very thoughtful post, thank you. Yes she is pretty intense and I will make sure I keep in touch with her state of mind. She knows exactly what she signed up for but that doesn’t mean the adjustment be easy. Thanks again.[/quote]
