You’re certainly a very strong candidate–you have the grades and test scores to be competitive. Remember that Swarthmore places a lot of emphasis on the Why Swarthmore essay, so be sure to explain what makes Swarthmore a really good fit for you and why they would want to have you on campus.

Will you need financial aid? Swarthmore is not need-blind for internationals, so you’ll have better chances if you’re not applying for financial aid. But they do give financial aid to some internationals, so do apply for it if you need it.

Best of luck! Out of curiosity, where in the country are you? I was in Georgia earlier this year, and it’s a beautiful place. :)
