- 7 APs (out of 9 that my school offers), 4s & 5s, I think what stood out was Calc BC 5 w/ AB subscore 5, also I mentioned that I'm taking the AP Chinese & AP Spanish Lang tests this May even though I am not enrolled in either class & my school doesn't offer Chinese
- lots of ECs; officer in NHS & SGA, started my own POC discussion group, captain of academic team, marching band, peer tutor, 250+ service hours
- hooks: art school student!! first-gen, QuestBridge Finalist, work 20+ hours/week, not sure if this is a hook but I will be graduating with a surplus of 22 credits due to the nature of my school... all of the extra classes I took were art classes
- why Swarthmore? 9/10 or maybe 10/10... it was very detailed for the word limit
hope this helps future applicants! congrats to those who were accepted! if not, there are brighter things to come!

Son waitlisted as well. According to the common data set Swarthmore took 27 students off the waitlist last year and 40 the year prior.
