Average SATs for the schools I listed are as follows-
SMITH- 1820-2160
SWARTHMORE-2030-2300
POMONA- 2050- 2330
SATs definitely aren’t everything at these schools. They look at GPA, transcripts, essays (common app and supplemental), interviews (optional), and extracurriculars. SATs are important, but my SATs were on the low side for both Swarthmore and Pomona, and I was still admitted. Find a school you love, write honest and personal essays, interview and share yourself with the adcoms. They care more about building a class of interesting people than puffing up their numbers.
