<p>I think you’re fine. I got in ED and my stats are around yours-- if not a bit worse. You’re taking more AP classes than me this year.</p>
<p>However, Skidmore is (apparently) extremely subjective. They like diverse students, so it could help that I’m from the South, etc. Students with high stats don’t necessarily get in. </p>
<p>Good luck!!! Your essay sounds wonderful.</p>
