<p>But, in theory, Swarthmore (and other top schools) receive so many applications from so many qualified students that even minority applications have high scores and grades. The minorities being accepted also have 2100 SATs, or whatever the average is. </p>
<p>And yes, I know that Swarthmore particularly emphasizes diversity. One of my best friends, who is hispanic, was actually flown to Swarthmore for free. But I stand by my opinion that this is hardly a criteria to choose between two schools- like ^^ said, gut feeling and comfort is more important. When its down to two good academic schools, its wherever you feel you will be happiest.</p>
