<p>andi - I now have a great financial package from Swarthmore, but I also have a great one from Amherst, since I was a high-need applicant. The deposit I’d lose wouldn’t be too much of a loss, since Amherst waived my deposit, so all I did was send in a note saying I accepted their offer.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, Interesteddad. </p>
<p>I remember during the first week and a half of April I kept vacillating between these two schools, to the point where I coined “Swat-herst” to describe my dilemma. Now it looks like I’m back to where I started, except with less time to decide.</p>
