<p>I have a 3.75 GPA, really good ECs, & though I haven’t gotten my SAT scores yet, I’m assuming from my practice test record it should be around a 2000-2100. I want to study Poli Sci and Medieval Studies in college, and I was wondering which school, in terms of being a ‘reach’, would suit me better/would potentially accept me: Swarthmore or Cornell?</p>
<p>It’s like comparing apples to oranges. Ones a small LAC, one is a huge research university. One is 10 miles from a big city, one 4 hours. They really aren’t very much alike, it all depends what you want and what fits you! Apply to both, they’re both equally hard to get in to. Also swarthmore explicitly superscores ACT if that helps. </p>
