<p>DreamsofIvy:</p>
<p>I was fortunate enough to be admitted to Swarthmore (as well as accepted to Amherst and Hofstra Honors College, my safety) for the Class of 2013. I was also rejected from Vassar, Yale, and Princeton.</p>
<p>Going through the admissions process, I personally observed that there are a large number of high SAT scorers, as well as multiple APs, EC’s beyond belief, community services saints…well you get the picture.</p>
<p>Do I think you have a good shot at 2014? Sure! However, the competition is fierce and all you can do is put your best foot forward, write good essays, try to round up excellent references, and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
