I applied ED2 to Skidmore and I am an international student applying for full financial aid. Does anyone know whether Skidmore gives full financial aid to international students? They say the decision will come by February 14; does anyone know when exactly is the decision coming?
Hello! I am also an international student applying to Skidmore ed2.I think that Skidmore meets the 100% demonstrated need but the its Admission is very selective and has limited funds.Can I know your stats because I think I have very low SAT score (1260)
I got 1480 in SAT.
I got 1480 in SAT and 3.6 unweighted GPA . Do you think I will get through with full aid, and when are the results coming out? I hope they come out soon.
I think that your SAT score is great for Skidmore college. If your essay, extracurricular activities is also impressive then you have a great chance of being accepted at Skidmore.However, Since Skidmore has limited Financial Aid and is need aware,it might effect your chances as you are asking for full aid. The decision will be released on 15th of February. Best of Luck!
Which Major you intend to learn at Skidmore college?Did you apply for Porter Presidential Scholarship?
I intend to pursue Economics major, and I have not applied for the Porter Presidential Scholarship.
@Elins234 what major do you intend to study?
@Noone56778 Skidmore offers around 20 full aid packages each year out of which 12 or 13 of them are given to UWC school graduates. So that leaves us with 100s of students competing for 7 or 8 spots.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you will get into a school that will be a perfect fit for you. Hang in there.
I just received my acceptance for Skidmore and received the Porter/Wachenheim scholarship. It made my day! The financial aid package is incredible and I am going to go visit (they pay for the flight). I want to double major in mathematics/Computer Science anyone who has attended know anything about these departments?
