<p>Worth the application fee if you really want to go there. Scores and grades are at the lower limit of their reported acceptance but they still consider Asian as a URM and Skidmore is always on the search for a few more of those. They give out very little money and most URMs wisely follow the money and go elsewhere.
Your music creds are very good but they see a lot of comparables in their applicant pool. If you are intending to tell them of an interest in a music major you will need to provide them with an audition tape with the application.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>you are so in, don't worry.</p>

<p>i think you'll be fine, i have similar sat scores and grades, just about as many ECs, but not as many aps, and i got in ED.
good luck!</p>

<p>btw, i just got my new sat scores!! and they're amazing!</p>

<p>750 CR

540 writing (woow. yeah i have no idea what happened there)</p>
