Swarthmore Class of 2028 Official Thread

Is it a bad sign if I didn’t get the email saying when decisions would be released? Did anyone else not receive it?

Hi elise123, our kid did receive an email. BUT she also did for another liberal arts college but did not get in. Have you checked your trash or call them?

Elise123, I don’t think my student received theirs either. Fingers crossed it is a glitch and not indicative of anything else! Good luck everyone!

Do y’all still have the withdraw application option on your portals?

Im not seeing it on mine.

Gone on mine as well. Application checklist & finaid checklist still there though…

Not seeing it here too.

Gone as well. This is when portal astrology ‘tells’ start to matter. One of the best ways is via trying to register for the upcoming ‘Admitted Student Day’. Does anyone have a link for that? Perhaps from the ED rounds?

Something interesting is that my withdraw button has been gone sometime in January, when I decided to switch from ED2 to RD. It seems that decisions for my application has been a couple of months before. Lol

Ok dumb question, would the withdraw button being gone be a good sign or a bad one? My student’s is gone.

I don’t think it’s definitively good or bad, but rather a sign that a decision (of one sort or the other) has been made and uploaded to the portal, which is why they’re disabling everyone’s ability to withdraw their application just before they release decisions. This is precisely the point at which an ‘Admitted Students Day’ link could be very useful, because colleges sometimes enable access for admitted students to register for the event a hours before the actual decisions are released. That’s why I was wondering if anybody had a registration link from the ED rounds and might share it.

Do you have Swarthmore admitted student day registration link?

DS hasn’t received any info on signing up for admitted student day. He was accepted back in December. I asked him to double check his portal and email. Best wishes to everyone today in the RD round.

No…a link to register for the Admitted Students Day is precisely what I’m asking for.

I have this, which is an internal Swarthmore link letting the student body know about the Admitted Student Day events, but its not a link for admitted students to actually register

no withdraw button here, and the link sent above works for me. doubt that means anything though

Which link are you referring to? The Swatlight and Swatstruck link I posted above? If so, that’s accessible to everyone (no login required), and isn’t a link to register for the event
