Skidmore Class of 2017 RD Thread

<p>Yes, for internationals, they will be emailed out by the end of the weekend. A counsellor told me so.</p>

<p>So guys it seems that decisions will be mailed tomorrow, yikes!! Its finally here, let the mailman stalking begin lol. Seeing as I’m in NY, I’m hoping to get it by Saturday the earliest.</p>

<p>are they or are they not sending Emails? I live in Oregon. I don’t want to have to wait (even more) because they only send snail mail. ugh. the suspense is killing me</p>

<p>how do you know decisions for domestic applicants are being mailed tomorrow?</p>

<p>I only assumed they would be mailing decisions to domestics today because, the persons who received an early acceptance email were told that their official acceptance package will be mailed on March 22 (ie today).</p>

<p>No emails?</p>

<p>does anyone know when will internationals be notified?</p>

<p>The admissions page at facebook commented that all emails to internationals will be completed by Monday, March 25</p>

<p>original comments:
Hi there, international students will receive an email as well as a letter through the postal service. Domestic applicants will receive a letter via U.S. Postal Service only. Hope that helps!</p>

<p>international e-mails will be completed by Monday, March 25.</p>

<p>@konspace thanks for the update</p>

<p>S just got his acceptance snail mail. Personal hand-written note on the bottom - that’s particularly nice. Out of the private LACs he’s been accepted to, Skidmore has given him the best financial aid package. 3.8 UW GPA, 1500 M/R SAT, 2130 M/R/W SAT, lots of AP and honors classes, not a lot of ECs but the few he has he is very passionate about, NYS resident.</p>

<p>Especially with the huge increase in apps (“nearly 8300. . . for a first-year class of 650”), I wasn’t really expecting him to get in, so this is a very pleasant surprise.</p>

<p>Congrats to others who have gotten accepted too! And if you didn’t get accepted, let it roll off your back the best you can because there’s another school out there for you!</p>

<p>fosterte, do you live near Saratoga Springs? I live about 2 hours away and didn’t receive it. Congratulations.</p>

<p>Yes, magic17, we live an hour or so away. S has not received an e-mail. The fat envelope just seemed to arrive out of the blue. They’re having three accepted students days. We’re definitely planning to go to one of them.</p>

<p>Thanks Fosterte, probably Monday for us. Last one we’ve been waiting for. Fingers and toes crossed with all the applicants this year. Were you happy with the FA package?</p>

<p>Can you tell me what state is Skidmore in,please?I am in MD</p>

<p>Sent from my LG-VM696 using CC</p>

<p>Skidmore College is located in the beautiful small town of Saratoga Springs, New York.</p>

<p>magic17, I was pleased with their FA package. It is quite a bit better than the other offers S has gotten from the privates, which was another unexpected pleasant surprise. Net price still doesn’t compare very favorably at all, though, to any of the publics S has been accepted to (New Paltz, New College of Florida, and Macaulay Honors College at Hunter). </p>

<p>I’m wondering if it looks like for Fall 2013, a lot of freshmen will continue being tripled.</p>

<p>Anyway, yes, hopefully you will get something from them on Monday. Hoping that that “something” will be positive news!!</p>

<p>I’ll second morganhil’s take on Saratoga Springs. It is a FABULOUS little city all the way around!</p>

<p>Just got this email from Skidmore:</p>

<p>"Attached you will find a copy of your admissions notification letter from Skidmore College. The original was sent via postal mail on March 22.</p>

<p>“Congratulations on your acceptance!” :)</p>

<p>They already sent out emails to international students? I haven’t received mine yet :frowning: Very anxious</p>

<p>I am so nervous :SS. Maybe they send out acceptance emails first and then wait list and rejected?</p>
