I can’t think of any reason you should “feel low” about your chances at Swarthmore. Only time will tell on that, but I doubt they have a lot of applicants in the ED pile with your perfectly fine test scores who have lived in Tanzania and are fluent in Swahili.

I know that the waiting is brutal and you’ll alternate optimistic one day to pessimistic the next. But, don’t beat yourselves up. If it’s any consolation, I think that 7 of 8 Swarthmore ED applicants from College Confidental got accepted last year – and, if I recall, that included some with SATs in the 1300s, some in the 1400s, and some in the 1500s.
