I think Swarthmore is also a place where you have to fit the school. A girl who graduated from my school got into Yale, Princeton, and I think Williams and Amherst (maybe only one of those two) and several other pretty strong schools, but was waitlisted at Swarthmore. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but I do feel strongly that it’s the kind of school where you have to match their personality.
