Hi, thought I’d start a thread on applying to Skidmore EDII. Only 10 days left. I have heard they send out official notices in snail mail. Anyone heard anything different?
Ayyy I’m on the same boat
Guys, what about international students? Do they send out official notices in snail mail, too or not?
Wondering the same thing about snail mail… and do they put it in the mail so it will be received on February 15th—which it can’t because it’s a holiday? For ED1 it seemed everyone got their letters on Dec 16 because a lot of people posted on the Twitter class of 2020 feed that day. And on Dec 14, Skidmore tweeted this:
Attention #Skidmore2020 ED1: The letters are in the mail! Welcome to Skidmore! So I’m thinking they mail them on Friday, Feb. 12 and we can expect something in the mailbox Tuesday the 16th… But will anything be posted on line? hmm…
I would ask admissions, Ahmedasm97. I have no idea.
ahmedasm97, i was reading another thread (sorry NO idea which one now) but I read they send emails to international students… letters to domestic.
Skidmore said they are sending out letters on Monday which actually means tuesday because of the holiday, although I have it on good authority that some letters were mailed yesterday and today. Good luck to the ED 2 applicants. It’s nerve wracking knowing this has been a record breaking year for applications.
How did you hear it was record breaking? How many people applied as opposed to last year? I think it’s because Skidmore eliminated supplemental essays, don’t you? That’s what Colby did and they have climbed in the rankings every year after.
Yes I think it is partly because of the essay. Colby also hired the former u chicago president who must have sent advertising to every student i the country getting hen to apply and thus reducing the acceptance rate. Same strategy was employed by Colby in addition to free apps al in an effort to increase the apps, reducing the acceptance rate, making it appear more selective. As far as skidmore, this was posted:
9100 apps this year including 550 ED apps
Anyone receive their package today. Saw someone post on the Skidmore twitter #skidmore2020 I’m guessing t was someone closer to the school. Hopefully will get mine Tuesday or wednesday
The office told someone I know who called that they went out Friday!
I heard that also even though on Twitter they posted they are being mailed next week.
If they mailed them on Friday, they might not arrive until Wednesday.
Are you close to skidmore? We are in Massachusetts. Hoping for tuesday!
We are in California, which is why I suspect Wed might be the day we hear.
Skidmore web site says “nearly 9100, a new record”
Wow! 9100 is monstrously large. What happened? Why all of a sudden all the interest?
They eliminated the supplemental essay this year.
Good luck to everyone today!
Good news for my daughter! Generous money! Recruited athlete! She is still dancing around the house!
