Hi! I’m a senior and seriously considering applying to skidmore. Skidmore is definitely a reach me, but I’m thinking about applying ED so…
-White, upper middle class girl from Massachussetts
-Pretty competitive high ranked public high school
-GPA UW: 3.54
-GPA W: 3.77
-Significant increase from freshman year to senior year
-ACT: 31 (submitting this)
-Almost all Honors classes besides two years of regular spanish
-2 AP Classes senior year
-Very weak EC: Spent three years babysitting (trying to emphasize this as it was very consistent and 15 hours a week), I now work as a barista at starbucks about 20 hours a week, Spent a summer volunteering at a summer camp for adults a children with autism and down syndrome (I was assigned to women aged 35-70), and attended the New York Times Summer academy one summer
-My essay is unique to my life and well written (I think), but it’s probably not top tier
-Two LORs and one I think is very strong (I chose a teacher whose lass I struggled with freshman year and then I had her again junior year and I worked very hard and my grade improved significantly)
