<p>I’m entering Swarthmore in the Fall, and If I remember correctly, there was a place on the Common App for you to explain circumstances that affected your GPA. Also, your english, reading, and writing ACT scores look great, but it could be a good idea for you to study and give that math score one more try…check out Swarthmore average scores: <a href=“Swarthmore College: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/Swarthmore_prfl.htm</a>. By the way, the club you started to support other minority kids sounds very cool. Good luck with your application, and have fun at DiscoSwat!</p>
<p>P.S. You new applicants are lucky. Last year, they made us write two 500-word essays, but I heard that this year you only need to write one 250-word essay</p>
