<p>Swarthmore is definitely a reach/dream. Your GPA is good, and it seems like you’ve taken a rigorous schedule, but the test scores are on the low/uneven end. ECs don’t seem like enough, although I’m sure you’re very dedicated.</p>
<p>O yeah? Alright well those SAT scores are from back in June, so hopefully the December scores will bump me up enough to put me into contention. Do you have any preference for either school?</p>
<p>nothing is low per se (unless you mean by CC standards) but nothing outstanding there. i wouldn’t be surprised whether you get rejected or accepted.</p>
