I’m taking AP English, AP Spanish, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry and Advanced Precalc which will turn into Calculus next semester.
I think my essays were a good portrayal of who I am, and I think I picked the right teachers for recommendations. I was also nominated by my school for consideration for the Swarthmore merit scholarship. Someone from my school already got in for ED 1. Do you think I still have a chance?</p>
<p>please help me out :)</p>
<p>I say you have a good shot at being admitted. I mean, your stats are in range. Just hope for the best.</p>

<p>positive reinforcement is always a good thing :D</p>
<p>anyone else have any thoughts? i could use any kind of commentary please. Do you think the fact that the first person they accepted was a girl and that i’m a boy will help a little?</p>
<p>i wish ti calculators had cell phone capabilities…</p>
<p>i think that you have a good chance of getting in. swarthmore tends to not base their decisions wholly on SAT scores, or numbers, things like that. they’re more interested in the type of person you are, what you’ll add to the mix at their school, not to say that they don’t look at academics. keep your head up! Good Luck!</p>
