That’s really interesting- Swat is one of my top choices too, even with the requirements…I just love it too much! I thought about Bryn and Haverford, but some people on this forum told me that it’s a huge hassle for Bryn and Haverford students to cross-major at Swat. I’ll visit them both and if I really love one, I’ll find some way to make it work out. Yeah, I’m already checking out the Five Colleges, Claremont colleges, and Mac and Carleton…haha, good job reading my mind! I sent an email to Amherst asking whether I’d be able to complete my entire major by fulfilling the requirements specified by UMass, but I haven’t received a reply yet. I emailed Smith with the same question and was told that it is definitely possible, but, like you said, the commute would be a hassle. Anyways…good luck with admissions and everything :). I know we’ll both end up happy somewhere…but right now I feel totally stressed about the college search! I have a list of 22 colleges I’m interested in applying to, and that definitely needs to be narrowed down because those application fees add up. And managing 22 apps would be a nightmare.
