<p>I’m not international but do need significant aid. Skidmore is not need blind but I was not given a reason for the deferral so can’t say whether that was a factor in my case. </p>
<p>@emotup okay thanks for the information! With your stats I’m sure you’ll have a good chance in the RD pool for Skidmore and at other schools. I knew Skidmore was need aware and a lot of schools I’m considering are but maybe one will consider me worth the money. </p>
<p>I am not an international student, but like emotup, I need significant aid. </p>
I believe that geographic location plays a big part in Skidmore’s acceptances also. The admissions office essentially told us that when we visited. They are trying to have more geographic representation. My S is a freshman there - admitted regular decision from TX with stats that aren’t any different than what’s been posted and needing significant aid. So…only one of you has posted location (Jmbakh from TX) but that is something to consider. Good luck to you all - he has loved his first semester.
That’s encouraging! I am applying to a large amount of OOS LACs just hoping one takes me. I don’t want to seem like I am taking advantage of the common app fee waivers, but I feel like any school that meets full need is a reach with my stats. Only a few schools have any data on naviance but I did notice that Trinity College had only two applicants and both had stats extremely below the average. GPA and SAT aren’t everything but it was still surprising. I’ve decided to go ED2 at Grinnell. I know I’ll be setting myself up for another rejection but it’s been my first choice this whole school year. Skidmore and Mac are atop my list in RD, so if I’m lucky enough to get into one I’ll likely enroll.
Has any ED2 applicant heard from Skidmore yet? I have not received any mail…
Skidmore sends its decisions by snail mail. Since today is a mail holiday, I imagine most ED2 students will get their letters tomorrow. Good luck!
I’m waiting for my result too 
Have anyone got their ED2 result?
Anyone get in?
I just got off the phone with an admissions officer…she said that ALL decisions have been mailed out today. I live in NYC so I should be receiving mine in 2 or 3 days hopefully.
