| Sounds to me that you might want to quietly e-mail the admissions rep and tell them so that you don't get an acceptance that triggers more issues between you and your mom.
I'm not suggesting it was your "fault". I'm just saying step up and take responsibility and let Swarthmore know. To me, it's jerking a college around for no reason to remain on a waitlist when you have no intention of going. Not that you owe Swarthmore anything...I mean they offered waitlist to you and a thousand of your closest friends.
But still... your admissions officer is a real person who has a stack of "x" number of real people on the waitlist and she's working this weekend trying to engineer a spot in Swarthmore's freshmen class for as many of "her kids" as she can. There's no reason to waste her time. |
