<p>For instance I made a 580 Math and 620 Verbal but my GPA is a strong 3.81, tough challenging classes, high interest in the college, great recs and extra currics...
But will my SAT scores keep me out of Skidmore?</p>
<p>1200 SAT might be borderline low, unless there is something about you that differentiates you from other similarly positioned applicants. I’d consider re-taking the SAT again this fall, and if Skidmore is truly your first choice, do an on-campus interview and then apply ED II.</p>
<p>Skidmore looks at the whole picture rather than just your grades/SATs. If your interest, ECs, grades, schedule are good you should be fine. Make sure they know you’re interested-take a tour, do an interview, they do notice interest level.</p>
<p>Thanks alot for your responses! I upped my scores a little bit to a CR 640 and a math score of a 600.
I have a lot of ECs and other qualities like leadership positions (Junior and Senior class officer, Honor Council Member, School Proctor, School tour guide) and involvement in my school community.</p>
