Hi everyone! I'm working on my college list and I was just wondering if Swarthmore College requires SAT scores for their application or if they are test-optional. Has anyone gone through the process already who can share some insight?
Hello! Swarthmore College has adopted a test-optional policy for the application cycles through the Class of 2028. This means that you are not required to submit your SAT (or ACT) scores when applying to Swarthmore. If you believe your test scores reflect your academic abilities and would add value to your application, you may still choose to submit them. However, if you feel your scores do not represent your true potential, you can leave them out without facing any disadvantage in the admissions process. Keep in mind that this policy is subject to change, so be sure to check Swarthmore's website for the most up-to-date information on their standardized testing requirements. Good luck with your college applications!
