I think this was already mentioned, but you cannot apply SCEA to Princeton and also ED1 to Swarthmore. It’s one or the other, not both.
And I think you should wait until after the Haverford fly-in to make any decisions. Good luck to you.

Thank you! And so sorry for the typo, I always mess up the number! 
The fact that I can’t SCEA and ED1 simultaneously is the origin of my concerns, as it would mean I have to delay my Haverford app till the regular round.
Got it. It looks like Haverford’s ED acceptance rate is substantially higher than the RD rate. Go for the visit and if you absolutely love it and can see yourself there, maybe consider switching to ED at Haverford. Good luck with your decision-exciting times ahead!
Might be due to the fact that you are located within a fairly short drive from your home in South Jersey to Philly suburbs, therefore you can visit Swarthmore on your own at a low cost. (Happens with Dartmouth’s fly-in program and is a stated factor for Swarthmore’s fly-in program.)
Did Swarthmore College offer you an application fee waiver ?

Haverford is a reach but does make many of its offers in RD. I generally think that rather than apply binding to a college that is not your favorite for strategic reasons, you should put together a good overall RD list.

Yes, they did. To my knowledge, all DiscoSwat applicants receive it, so it’s not indicative of anything?

If a college asks for one STEM LOR and one humanities LOR, it is in your best interest to provide what they ask for. Don’t give them a reason (such as not following instructions) to move your application to the reject or unlikely pile.
