[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they apply ED1 or ED2? Were they a sports recruit? A legacy? Did they do an optional interview or video? What was their unweighted GPA? Did they have "most demanding" rigor? Did they submit SAT/ACT? Did they show a lot of demonstrated interest?

DC at Swarthmore, 4 unweighted GPA with high rigor, 1550 SAT, ED1, no optional video or interview, no demonstrated interest. (Swarthmore does not look at demonstrated interest). Essays demonstrated deep interdisciplinary interests & character (grit, determination, working with others).

Look at the Swarthmore CDS for what factors they care about in admissions. You’ll see character is a very important factor (in many other schools it is not listed as very important) Also look at their own site.
