<p>more seriously, good luck to everyone who applied... i won't lie, this year really has been the most competitive. the number of applicants has gone way up. but, good luck!!</p>

<p>Oh my gosh - son in at Skidmore! Can't believe it. Letter said him and 35 others will start in London and then return in the spring. All I know is son is very happy and what a great opportunuity. An Economic degree from Skidmore with a semester in London. Dad is a very happy and very very proud man today. That's my boy!</p>
<p>congratulations jollymom! we are still waiting to hear in upstate ny...</p>
<p>I'm in! YAY!</p>
<p>And then I was waitlisted at Vassar. But what surprised me was that Skidmore's acceptance rate was lower than Vassar's. What's up with that?</p>
<p>Congratulations for your son jollymom! From your posts it sounds like Skidmore has been your son's #1. I'm happy for all the others that have heard good news, too. </p>
<p>Nothing in our mailbox from them today. Looks like we'll be waiting until Monday to hear.</p>
<p>My s was waitlisted. Can't believe Skidmore's acceptance rate was lower than Vassar's. </p>
<p>Ayone who was waitlisted, or for your child, what are their stats?</p>
<p>My S had SAT 800/740/660 (Math is the lowest)
GPA 3.5
Eagle Scout
Church choir head chorister all 4 years
All-District Band 3 years
Writer for newspaper and literary magazine
Pit Band member, stage techs for plays, other clubs but not an officer</p>
<p>jollymon - Congratulations! I am so, so happy. I recall the stress the ED deferral caused your family; I am so pleased to hear the fabulous news. My son got in, too.</p>
<p>Rejected. I wanted to go there so bad...</p>
<p>Thank you all so much! I really mean it. Congrats to all who got in. All the stress and waiting was worth it. Wife and I are on a conference this weekend and we just went out for a couple drinks to celebrate. I am sure I saw a tear in the eye of my usually unemotional wife. Taking a nap as the relief of this longhall is setting in. Again, thanks to all! And, for all the great advise!</p>
<p>waitlisted...I'm really disappointed, Skidmore was one of my top choices.</p>
<p>waitlisted and def staying on</p>
