<p>Ok, so I really don't have that much basis for saying this as I didn't apply to Skidmore (I was looking at the forum because I'm considering a transfer) but I think you have a really good shot. I got accepted into a top 5 LAC (but one that I'm sadly currently unhappy at) with lower stats and similiar, if not weaker, extra-curriculars than yours. So you're probably fine.</p>

<p>I would love to hear about why you are not happy at your LAC right now. Ill PM you</p>
