<p>So i visited Skidmore and loved it and definitely plan on applying Early Decision. Anyways, here are my stats as of the end of Junior Year.</p>

GPA - Unweighted: 3.44

<p>SAT I: 1860 (plan to retake)

<p>Recieved youth achievement recognition award for Volunteer work at the Teen Center.</p>

<p>Participated in selected-group city Youth Summit with city council members.</p>

<p>anyways, thats about it, so thanks!</p>

<p>I think your GPA is a bit low - is it possible to get into top 25%?</p>

<p>Likewise, SAT is very very low. Skidmore’s average is above a 2000. Try and get it above.</p>

<p>EC’s look okay.</p>

<p>i think its possible. BY 50%, id say im more realistically in the top 1/3 for sure</p>

<p>SAT is low… :confused: I expect it to get up to a 1900 atleast. Ive only taken it once and certainly expect it to go up. </p>

<p>and as for GPa, like i said, i had a slow start but Junior year was pretty successfull, could that boost the chances of it being overlooked some?</p>

<p>some updated stats!</p>

<p>submitting my application next week for Early decision. How am i looking?</p>

<p>SAT I: 1940
CR/M: 1300</p>
