<p>Artsy Girl 13 - I agree that SAT/ACT scores are not the sole determining factor for admission to a school like Swarthmore. But, given the variability in quality and grading practices of schools around the country - scores on SAT/ACT continue to be one of the only ways college admissions committees have to compare applicants across a variety of backgrounds. I would be interested to know what are your other college options and which schools have said “you are in.” I’m also wondering why Swarthmore? There are many wonderful small liberal arts colleges with outstanding programs and students committed to learning. Can you share more?</p>
