<p>I just visted Skidmore and it is definitely my first choice. I absolutely loved it, despite expecting to hate it.</p>

<p>I would love to get an idea of what my chances might be, I am planning on applying Early Decision Round I.</p>

<p>I go to a moderately competitive private HS. I live in Virginia, I am female and white with dual citizenship for the US and England.
GPA: 3.8/4.1
SAT: CR: 700 W: 650 M: 480 (total 1180/1830)
Honors classes, AP Spanish and AP Chem
Top 5% of my class (approximately, school doesn't rank, this is what my counselor said though)
ECs:
Debate
Co-Founder of STATIC Film Society in my town
Student Senate
Class Representative
Scuba Diving (working towards the Dive Master certification)</p>

<p>I ride horses at the international level, and am very highly ranked nationally and internationally. Since Skidmore has a varsity team, maybe I can get recruited?</p>

<p>I am taking a year off (graduated early) and I am going to China for 10 weeks this fall for a language program, volunteer work at the Panda Reserve and Research facility in Chengdu, and a journalism intership in Beijing. </p>

<p>I will not require financial aid.</p>

<p>I am interested in an Asian Studies major. </p>

<p>I can get very good recommendations from my teachers, my math teacher (hopefully with augument my crappy math score... my coursework has always been very good with her) and my english teacher have already offered to write me great recs. Writing is my strong point so I think I can have good essays.</p>

<p>Umm... I think that is all of my information.</p>

<p>You look good to me! I would not let that math score totally bother you.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance. I don't mean to be creepy but did you attend a skidmore open house in march?</p>

<p>Thanks for the thoughts guys! Its much appreciated.</p>

<p>Ilovesoftball44- No, I wasn't. I just happened to stop by Skidmore by chance in September and decided it was the place for me! I didn't know anything about it before then.</p>

<p>I wouldn't think that your math score could hurt you too much considering your impressive resume and your other two SAT scores. I had a low math score also but I retook the test and scored a 600, much better that the first score but still not great... </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks Yogalicious. I hope you're right! Good luck to you as well. Hopefully your letter will come today! I'm waiting for mine... dun dun dun.</p>

<p>What if your CR score is in the 500's and others in the 700's? Is there a chance of getting accepted?</p>
