i twould be funny to take up class time on friday if they ahd set the release time earlier
this season
i napped through ED, i had a midterm during EA, i was showering through another EA, and i was on the train in another EA
bro got 8 acceptance wdym
oh and i was having a haircut during EA
bro moment
would rather just study at a local university provided i get in
my first L will be followed by 6 more Ls man
i won't be able to cope
i'm on a streak of 2 rn
need a warm up L first
the way you already got 11 decisions wth
so i have a headstart on what it feels like
it'll end soon i believe in u
is utcap reject
one is all we need
cause it feels liek it
yeah exactly just 1
DOUBLE U
they should have extra mental health hotline people staffing on the 17th/18th just in case
i hate how
decisions
are right in the middle of
my mocks
i have never been so demotivated by rejections before
felt
will be heading into my physics mock exam after 5 decisions (re: 5 Ls)
a levels
will be heading into my physics mock without studying and 5 Ls
when's your physics mock
mine's actually on saturday
uhhh
8:30am
ah that's a little better
i have given mocks 0 prep
rip
ooo good luck
ty
im worried for my rejections
i havent had any so like when i do i feel like it could hit harder than it would if i'd experienced them earlier
how many acceptances have you recieved so far?
hard same
whered you get accepted to so far?
wait was swat essay just the why are you interested one
It was pick two
Got my warm up L
Strangely made me happy
so it was 2 essays on top of personal statement?
Wtf it was pick two???
shit shit shit
i don't think it was
nor do i otherwise wed all have 2 essays
it was pick one from the three
Is my memory bad
swarthmore only had one supplement
😔
It was just one okay
palpatations subsided
yea Frfr
haha
It was 1 of 3 yeah
I think I did
The community that impacted me
Now that I reread it it actually sucks wth
rip my chances at swarthmore praying common app carries
my essay can be read as egotistical so I’m hoping they don’t do that
we are all critical of our essays
no it didn’t even answer the prompt
Fuuuuck why did my parents read my essays they made me brag in literally every space
Oh well 5 days left to get rejected
tulane, university of Wisconsin Milwaukee, and gt was conditional
wooo nice on Tulane nonbinding
thank you 😋 i dont know how i scored it
U should be proud
congrats!! tulanes awesome, especially ea
ive been in love with swat for so long i have no idea how ill handle that rejection
i hate my
swarthmore supp
it is so ew
the only essay i liked was northwesterns that i wrote
i liked my Princeton and Columbia supps
But swarthmore’s is. Ugh I could’ve written it another way
my BU supps
were
meh
mid
caltech's were ok-ok i guess at best
but northwestern's i really like
i am praying it carries me
i was tempted to do roch
but then i bailed last min cause too muh effort writing supps
i regret not applying purdue honestly
my swat was ass, columbia was alright
it is 😭 i learned to love it
my application was bad cus i assumed they were gonna say no
they also gave me stunning finaid
wowwww nice
so you have an affordable option!!! that’s great
SWARTHMORE I BEG
I PLEAS
When?
good luck swarthmore people
17th
thank you
god I want this acceptance
I simply want to celebrate
i am currently: flipping out
i rly just dont want to see a rejection that day
all the hard schools are coming out on the 17th and im not prepared LOL
Swarthmore gives out so much free stuff once u get in
whatd they give last yr?
I would love to be in please please please
PLEASE IM BEGGING ID DEMONSTRATE SO MUCH INTEREST IF YOU CARED
I LOVE YOU SWARTHMORE
DONT ABANDON ME
god watch me get handed a rejection on Friday
I’m literally having nightmares
i have never had a decision day dream and i'll be damned if i ever do
good for you
I have had several
last time I did (hs applications) they were all for schools I got into
real (i only applied to the s)
HAHAH
honestly all lac's kinda slap
i absolutely love lacs
(other than their price tag but most of them give pretty good aid)
frfr
yea literally
i don’t wanna ;-; I wanna go to swarthmore in freshman fall and have pass fail
i rly want to study in the gardens
and scream my anger at end of term in the dining hall
The amphitheater!!!!
I wanna study in the library
psi phi
I wanna try acapella and join clubs
Ooh I haven’t looked
praying that my dream abt getting into swarthmore was prophetic
god pls pls pls let them have sent me an acceptance
we should all start a religion
Manifesting for all of us
ugh Friday will be such a bloodbath
Their admit rate in RD must be less than 5%
yea yikes
And this year?
900 smth
high end of 900
same accept and defer rate
so almost triple the rejections
indeed
i kinda wish I ED2’d
I’d be rly happy at swarthmore I know it
i wouldn’t regret turning my back on Yale or Princeton since u can only go one place anyway
do you know if it was swat or bowdoin that defered a ton of ed2 applicants
nop clue tbh
PLEASE LET ME GET IN
mhm okay
gonna be listening to back fugue in g while reading my rejection letter
wb u guys
for either accept or reject
what ru listening to
REAL
uh probably not gonna have a song
probably some like chill spa music tbh
calm me from the nerves
actually no not buzzcut season. Mmm Lauren Aquilina’s King for waitlist/reject
i saw a vid once of someone opening like 10 decisions all in a row with calm music in the background
and with every rejection he was like "oh ok, thats ok"
the coconut song if accept
and i feel like i need to have that mentality
fair and balanced
yeah
i just. need ONE AFFORDABLE ACCEPTANCE
SINGULAR
UNE
i would. Love it if it was swarthmore
But as long as I know I can pay to go to college somewhere I’ll be happy
Then it’s fine. It’ll be fine.
tyty but it does mean that the next few rejections or waitlists if they come will be. Not great
Thank god aid comes at the same time as admission for RD
this is the end game
I hope we can be classmates next year!!!
we are over 345.6k seconds away from finding out
Y’all we got a command

Ugh I’m really hopeful of a swarthmore acceptance
Maybe I shouldn’t be
I love it though
Maybe they’ll love me too
hoping midterms will be enough to keep my mind off swat
it comes out 6 my time but carleton is out at 8 and i refuse to open it till then
manifestation
i think personally you should open it wherever you are at 6
i might tbh if i cant take waiting
i held off on opening my other decisions for a while
i wanted to be in a good headspace yk?
ohh hmm I see
I held off on opening my REA by like 45 min
Would’ve held off more if it wasn’t for someone coming up to me and getting me panicked abt it
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
At this point I’ve loved just kind of keeping track of where I am when I open letters? Like
let the shitty week begin
I was at dinner with my friends for the first one. Was at the end of my last class of the day for my second one. Was in the passenger seat of the car for the third one

Ty all for ur confidence in me
fuck
The fact that I’ve been on decided on slate since last week is kinda scary
But also ik slate means nothing
Panic
I’m gonna check slate honestly
Have no clue what the admit letter looks like
Nobody in the videos I’ve watched applies to swat
You’ll find out on Friday
i was looking it up
basically
yknow how all admissions login portals kinda look same-y
ye
that’s bc they use the platform slate to manage their portals
now, you can log into slate as a student
does it give you access to all of your schools admissions portals?
find schools you’re applying to, and slate will let you know your application’s status on each school’s system
so, like, “decided”, “complete”, “updated” etc
idk i was looking for it but couldn’t find
me neither it’s not working
yeah lmfao
anyways nothing more we can do but obsess over the cds and pray to all possible gods
the amount of reading ive done about other religions since applying to lac
might as well change major to comparative religion and classics
thatd be so cool
u could look into bioethics too
comp religions is fun
i waa thinking of being a religions major for a while
public health
wb eastern history or philo or smth
I’d def take bioethics
niiiice
yeah
honestly if im gonna do bio its gonna be research
and for comp religion its same
i ended up deciding on phil actually!
so philosophy + psych double major hopefully
thinking of going into academia?
oooo cool
yes vry much so
OOO sounds awesome
phil and psych
thats exciting f
r
i was thinking major in gen bio/ systems bio
minor in classics or comparative religion
swat doesnt have many great classes on eastern history otherwise id do that
ooooh
you might end up being able to use the consortium and take some of those classes
true
i feel like bryn mawr + haverford should have a good history selection
lemme check
The consortium is so cool
i half applied Bryn Mawr so I could still go to swarthmore even if I got rejected lmfao
insurance policy
i dont think they have a formal jterm
i could be wrong tho
i love carleton tbh
nother beautiful one
i did a fly in and it was rlly cool
what is it about lacs
Wow sounds so cool
best looking colleges
AMAZING
It’s beautiful
the rose garden 😩
fun fact: carleton also has an observatory!
another positive about libarts
Oooh fr
yeah!! its open to everyone 🙂
probably even cooler for those astrophysics majors
That’s so cool
Nah man just stars
!swarthmore
Swarthmore College decisions come out <t:1679094000> in your local time
3 days, 21 hours and 6 minutes until the decision date
a
oh my
11 acceptances
march 17th is gonna make my user look like somewhere ‘27 | 11A 2W 10R
You have 10 decisions on the 17th? 😭
you applied to 23 colleges?
i have 3-5 LACs i think, 3 UCs, and then i think a couple more coming out that day that day 😭
28 💀 shotgunned bc i didn’t think i’d get in anywhere (like 7 of them were safeties)
gl
Damn good luck
You’re the OP so swat will let u in 😌
i mean u did get in 11 places
and what baut said
u are destined
they better bc that’ll be embarrassing if they don’t 😭
damn
u are the mahdi
so true so true. i’m already set for now but i’d love if swarthmore would accept me 🥲
would you go if swat accepted u or did u already get a better deal somewhere else
me to swat admissions
depends on the aid just bc the instate tuition of the UCs is just so good
frfr
one of the williams people, i think williams simp, showed us that with aid the calculator spit out 5 bucks per year
literally 5 bucks
after aid
i’m hoping for that honestly bc the LAC environment is much more my style than the UCs
FR
lac environment such a vibe
and for the ib mfs here its almost perfect
without all the ee ia and cas bullshit
interdisciplanary goes insane
wait somewhere whats ur intended major/minor
see now i'm excited
IB PSTSD 
ngl
i like ib
only thing that sucks is cas
cause my proj is due this week
and its my fault i havent done shit
williams having no work-study is my fav thing about them
I enjoyed it but I’m not a fan of how rigid it can be sometimes
that and winter study + tutorisals
ib scares me
williams exeter too
it goofy
fs
vry goofy
tok is a bullshit class
they shoulda just made an hl philo
or sl philo
TOK and CAS r useless
its just busywork
at least the essays taught us how to write kinda
ias and such
but the tok exhibition and essay
arfe complete dogwater
I loved most of my IAs ngl
i wish i tried harder on mine
Yeah but I got an A and it carried my EE to get the three points lmao
So I’m now TOK’s biggest fan ❤️
tok simp
im getting a b on my tok no doubt
my ee tho
chefs kiss
loved my topic
wait baut what did u write about
ee
category?
hope so
I’m usually so good at English but fr idk what happened
I had a 7 English predicted and got a 5 
Thankfully it was my English teacher who I asked for my letter of rec and he said there like how I was still one of his best students despite my score
You'll get in dw maybe you'll get off the waitlist even if u don't get in at first
My counselor showed me lmao
Yeah minimum is 24
i think ill get a 5 bio hl and a 4 ai hl
Bae
No points?😭
ok not bad
You’ll get at least one
my tok essay goofy
ok
one point
31
as long as i graduate
My friend got into NYU with a 32 so you’re chilling
And mid essays and non-existent ECs lmao
The advantages of full pay intls ig
tbh i dont think american schools really care about ib points
like american ib students
Wait where are you from
R u M23?
si
Ok cool I've never seen an American write Mahdi the right way
What classes r u taking
i wanna do comp religion
ik some stuff about a lotta religions

Wait not ohms law

williams
Yeah that and mechanics
Bae

Swarthmore College decisions come out <t:1679094000> in your local time
3 days, 9 hours and 26 minutes until the decision date

Can confirm
“Additionally, we would like to share a few notes about our applicant pool with you:
This year we experienced a 17% increase in early decision applications and a 3% decrease in total applications.
We are looking to bring in a smaller class than last year.”
Some part of the email my counselor sent
they're j trying to keep the acceptance rate down then
unless they over-admit last year
Increase in early class could mean a decrease in regular acceptances? + cuz they wanna keep the class size smaller?
Could be could be
i shouldve ed'd rippp
ualeykum salam
Looks like I’m getting in 😏🤪
Nah cuz wouldn’t they hold they same percentage of ED spots
Congrats on Swarthmore!!
so I think ED rates dropped
And RD rates increase

yeah def
besides the mascot is cool asf
like harvard has some turkey swarthmore has a PHOENIX
let us innnn
RIGHT
maybe it’s an invitation to appeal if I get rejected
Cuz swat AOs will know a real Swat student rises again
Me too
just curious
abt what
twolf asks: which choice if comes down to
1⃣: reed
2⃣: grinnell
dunno anything abt either
my two top acceptances, if friday does not go well i’ll probably go to one of these schools and i’m just wondering what the consensus are on them
ok
💀
oops sorry for ping
i like reed
i know someone whos there and theyre pretty happy with it
definitely need to be comfortable with the culture there tho
also super rigorous
if u like open curriculum, grinnells a good option
but ik they have issues with having a small course selection sometimes
plus its far more rural
Reed cuz it’s not in the middle of nowhere 😭
STFU they’re signing the acceptance letters I’ll cry 😭
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
SWARTHMORE TAKE ME HOME WHERE I BELONG
💀
Our names are in that letter stack I’m sure
PLEASE SWARTHMORE
I’m sure
I’m positive
If they have all the acceptances decided why don’t they roll out tmrw 💀
Jess Lord of Haverford already gave me the L
nooo
Jim Bock of Swarthmore, please make it a W
I bet their acceptance package is so nice
I bet
It must be so generous
Imagine. They press a flower from the arboretum into each package
god please swarthmore
I’ve dreamt up a swarthmore acceptance therefore it must be true
OMG THATD BE SO NICE
