I know how to churn out large amounts of work, but my perfectionism paired with the fact that I can be so unorganized might pose a problem

This sounds like my daughter. She’s done very well at Swarthmore, and I am pretty sure that she’ll have no problem with grad school apps when the time comes. All her friends who applied this year got into their top choice programs, btw. Grad schools love Swarthmore.

Another school you might want to look at if you want an early decision without the commitment is U Chicago. It is in the city, but otherwise seems like a better fit than Penn…
