I’d really love to say that you have a chance but your transcript really just doesn’t seem to be up to par; 2 C’s are going to drag you down a lot. An ACT score of 29/30 wouldn’t really be enough to cancel out what I see as a weak transcript.

That being said Swarthmore is ‘holistic’ in its reading of applications but given the types of students applying who not only come from unique backgrounds and have great ECs and great essays and recs and the lot are also more academically qualified based on the profile you’ve given here.

Just my opinion.
