Does Swarthmore have Tufts syndrome?

<p>Your argument would get you a C-, at best, at Swarthmore. The reason is that your logic breaks down here. If, as you imply, there is no Tufts Syndrome at Swarthmore, but it’s just incredibly competitive for white females to get into Swarthmore, then all of the white females who do get in must have stats at least as good as those posted by the OP. I guarantee you that’s not the case. What is the case is that, in order to produce the admissions numbers it wants, Swarthmore is more aggressive about cutting out the “overqualified” white females as well as the underqualified white females than it is with, say, black females or white males.</p>
