How much does Swarthmore consider legacies, if at all?

<p>It seems strange that they ask on the supplement form, then. Is it just for the sake of appearances?</p>

<p>I’m interested because I’m an unprogrammed Friend (h.s. junior) heavily involved in Quaker activism and outreach on local and state/regional levels. I have a soft spot for Quaker schools, but the Quaker-est ones (Haverford, Earlham) are affiliated with branches of Friends who are theologically quite conservative. Swarthmore has the Quaker sensibility without having connections to the particular groups that chap my hide.</p>
