<p>Seems to me that you'd have no trouble getting in with your stats. The best thing to do is to ask your G.C. for comparables-- other students from your HS who applied to Skidmore and got in and how you stack up next to them. Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey, I'm going there this fall.
I'd say you're definitely good academics-wise, you beat me there.
As for the other stuff, you look great, but it's hard to say what they go by.
I had four music ensembles, some small clubs, a few awards, perfect attendance. But yeah, you destroy me in academics.
Just make sure you do the interview, and cross your fingers!
Any more questions, send me a message, I'd be glad to help.</p>
