[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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. https://www.swarthmore.edu/admissions-aid/apply-to-swarthmore [/quote] This is what I'm hoping for with my kid who applied ED this year to Swat - huge character applicant and focused on that. Lots of community leadership, volunteer work, national level activism as well as at their school, deep commitment to two significant causes. Also legacy, 1520 SAT, top grades. [/quote] That's a strong application, good luck to your kid. [/quote]
