-really interested in music and visual arts. Very strong visual arts portfolio and strong but not as strong music portfolio
-have showed demonstrated interest
-would NOT submit SAT/ACT scores

-very strong EC’s and recommendations

looking forward to suggestions!

I’d say you have an okay chance. Skidmore seems to becoming more and more selective. Work hard on a strong essay, potentially interview if you get the chance, and consider applying ED2 if your very serious to help your chances.

I have a strong essay and my interview went really well. Actually one of the best that I’ve had so far. I’m thinking that I will be ok… (hopefully)

I am also a founder of a well known organization in my state which has been growing for the past 6 years. I wrote my essay on this

That certainly helps a lot, that’s the kind of thing that can separate you apart from any ordinary applicant.

Hoping for the best. Looks like you got in, Congrats!!!

Thanks, glad to know where I’m going to be next year!
