Class of 2011 most selective in history thus far

Swarthmore’s admissions office is once again in the midst of notifying early decision applicants, and the office is especially busy this year. Admissions at the college, which is already known as an elite liberal arts college with a low acceptance rate and high selectivity, has seen a surge in the number of applicants. The office has received 5,186 applications for the Class of 2011, which is five percent more than last year and 24 percent more than two years ago. Jim Bock, Dean of Admissions, said, “We’re up in almost every category: international, women, men, minorities.”
