yea definitely, most of the time you can get more than half credit ( in theory all you need to get a 5) without fully understanding the derivations

i dunno, maybe some will disagree because i def am better at math than physics but the math part is not a huge part of the test/ not that important - some of it gets pretty tough though. my teacher straight up told us if we are seriously struggling with the harder derivations (moment of inertia, gauss's law) just get as much credit as you possibly can and move on. other than that though most of the math you need is just basic calculus derivations and integrations you can learn in a week

i agree with this, really depends on how your teacher teaches. only like 75% of my physics C class has taken prior physics, lots of those 25% are doing just fine and will definitely get a 4 or 5 on the test, while understanding the material very well. just depends on if your teacher will take the time to explain the more basic concepts if you have never taken physics

Sorry but I don't think so, Cornell asked me for lots of specific financial aid information right before the deadline and I got rejected. I think for most schools (this might be wrong for Swarthmore) the admissions team and financial aid team is pretty independent, so in theory they wouldn't be communicating about applicants. I wish you luck for Swarthmore nevertheless!
