Skidmore Class of 2017 RD Thread

<p>Just been going through this thread and with a sinking feeling i realise i was probably rejected too. I am an international and still havent received the long promised email…what sucks the most is that these colleges barely seem to consider that people actually invest a lot when they apply to a college…the least they could do would be to at least reject us in a non-offensive way. #disappointed</p>

<p>Sorry to say this but if you haven’t heard by now. You probably are rejected. Call them if you want to make it official. They couldn’t even send a god forsaken email. I mean that’s the bare minimum. On top of that they expect us to call and leave our name and email id and do some more waiting before the rejection email.</p>

<p>Turns out thats the way Skidmore generally does things. Even last years applicants… Definitely wont be telling anyone to apply there. and honestly thinking of writing a strongly worded letter to the dean of admissions…I dont deserve to be treated like that even if I am not attending their school.</p>

<p>Got my rejection today :stuck_out_tongue: Guess I’ll have to go to Brown then. I am slightly surprised but not very disappointed since I have already canceled Skidmore from my list and am weighing between Brown and Colby. Congratulations to all admitted, though. Hope you’ll have a lot of good times @Skid.</p>

<p>^^ Aww. I guess you’ll just HAVE to go to Brown and make do with it!!! :stuck_out_tongue: JK, Skidmore makes me irritable.</p>

<p>I emailed the admission office of Skidmore today to ask about my result and got my rejection. I am not surprise though, but the fact that Skidmore didn’t send me my result irritates me.</p>

<p>Any wait listed students out there? We should start hearing within the next week or so!</p>

<p>hi, i’m new to this site and yes, i was wait listed. i’m really nervous… anyone else wait listed?</p>

<p>welcome cryhay77! I’m wait listed too. I’m starting to get really nervous because they said they would call us by May 10, which is so soon!</p>

<p>Thanks for the welcome! Where did they say May 10th? And we they let us all know on that date?</p>

<p>They had those two call-in days back in April for wait listed students and when I called they said they would notify everybody by the 10th. However I heard from my counselor at Skidmore that they finished taking kids off the wait list yesterday. I didn’t make it unfortunately, but everything happens for a reason I guess!</p>

<p>Will they notify us that they are finish with the wait list? I find that hard to believe because they didn’t send out a notification</p>

<p>When I called they said that if I hadn’t heard from them by May 10th, I should give them a call and see where they’re at. I was told a definite “no” by my counselor on the 7th. But if you haven’t heard anything, I would definitely give them a call tomorrow.</p>

<p>I called today and they said that they are not finish with the wait list and if they were they will let us know.</p>

<p>Any news?</p>

<p>nope, none on my end. but, i still have faith!</p>

<p>Same! haha</p>

<p>Hey, my D got off a WL at another school and decided to give up her place at Skidmore today. To any of you who are still out there on the WL ( assuming it’s still open?) I hope this gives you some hope. Good luck!</p>
