That’s funny. I made the exact same decision in November when applying. I almost went with Swarthmore ED, but decided I wasn’t sure enough of where I wanted to go to do that. What made me decide to go to Chicago over Swat: I felt like Swarthmore was just a little bit too small, not necessarily in size, but by its isolation, as well. The town of Swarthmore and the surrounding area is just somewhat lacking. I wanted a bit more structure in my education and Chicago’s Core was just that. Though I looked at Swat’s Honors Program and really felt like I would fit in well, I chose Chicago in the end. This is a win-win decision and plenty of people are jealous of the position you’re in.
