Junior Visit Day
Each spring, Swarthmore College hosts a program just for high school juniors. At our Junior Visit Day, we can’t answer all of your questions (about life) (or physics) (or Greek mythology) (or engineering) (or politics), but we can walk you through the college admissions and financial aid processes.
At Swarthmore we do things just a little bit differently. While we hope you fall in love with our beautiful campus, brilliant and diverse student body, amazing professors, and collaborative community, our Junior Visit Day program is not intended to knock you over the head with why you should apply. Sure, we’ll show and share Swarthmore with you – but the program is mostly about demystifying the general college admissions process. We’ll conduct workshops, talk about writing essays, and answer your questions about financial aid. So whether you know Swarthmore is the place for you or you’re just starting the college search process, you won’t want to miss it.
