<p>@Intparent Despite my scores I do think that I could succeed academically at Swarthmore. For most of my life I was home schooled which led to me developing my academic skills but having almost no exposure to standardized testing. I have had nothing but As in both APs and classes at a local college and understand the material I am being tested on, but struggle to pick a correct answer in a timed setting. I will not do ED II, due to a combination of not having another school that I would be willing to commit to without seeing a financial package for and my other top choices being places that my family is uncomfortable with due to the distance. That being said I do consider my overall college list to be much more well rounded including three safeties (two of which have basically said I am in at) as well as many more matches and reaches. What would be the absolute lowest ACT that you think Swat would consider acceptable? Also will Swat give any weight to me being low-income (most of the people I know with high scores had very expensive test prep that my family could never afford)?</p>
