Was acceptance a package or a regular envelope?
Congrats to those accepted. Waiting out west, probably another day or two. What kind of SAT/GPA numbers did people have?
@gofrogs79 I got mine today in NJ. It was a waitlist 
@DODIAT Waitlisted with 4.2GPA/32ACT. Did not show interest–no visit, no interview (ran out of time).
@DODIAT Accepted with 27 ACT, 96 GPA. Amazing EC and 9 AP classes throughout high school.
D accepted with a substantial grant, best so far.
@ Redpoodles, there’s always that chance they didn’t want to mess with yield looking at your D’s stats. Their acceptance rate is fairly low (35%) but their SAT averages tell another story. They don’t really line up, that’s the first school where I noticed that.
@DODIAT Accepted with a 4.2 GPA, 2230 SAT (one sitting)
I would also credit that to the fact that Skidmore is pretty big on the fact that they look at applicants overall and SAT/ACT isn’t the most important thing to them. So they probably have a large range of SAT scores that they accept from very high to lower. Still their website states a “median SAT/ACT scores for those admitted range from 1300-1320 and 29-30” which isn’t bad at all. I wouldn’t say they “tell another story” in regards to their 35% acceptance rate. Anyways congrats again to all who were accepted today! 
@ Redpoodles, My impression is Skidmore is all about showing interest. My D did make a visit and interviewed. Since we are out West, probably no news for us until tomorrow…
I know you have many great options (I see you on almost ever Board my D has applied to). Good luck the rest of the way…and probably see you on the Hamilton and Tufts boards tomorrow!.
waitlisted with a 2050 and 95 GPA, pretty good EC’s, interviewed and visited
Acceptance in TX 2190 / 3.7
Acceptance in TX 2190 / 3.7
Accepted!
For future applicants’ benefit: S waitlisted with 1560/1600 SAT, 1600 SAT subjects. 3.7 GPA. Submitted art supplement and additional rec from art teacher, a Skidmore grad. Seemed a solid match. Lack of demonstrated interest? No visit, no interview. Skidmore wasn’t his top choice, but he did think he was a good fit for the school.
accepted to Swarthmore College and Pitzer College but waitlisted to Skidmore like I am so confused??? Out of all the threads this is by far the most surprising one. What the heck were they looking for this year???
@twistofame Congratulations on Swarthmore. My brother went there so I know it’s ranked much higher than Skidmore. My son was waitlisted as well (and I attended Skidmore). No interview, and I do believe demonstrated interest played a part in the decision.
@twistofame Congrats on Swathmore, very impressive. With no supplement Skidmore gets bombarded with apps and I believe they actively manage yield, so they reject folks who they know are not serious (if they smell safety school). Did you visit and interview?
Waitlisted. 3.3 GPA, 1980 SAT, visited/toured twice and had a good interview.
Rejected in FL.
waitlisted with 4.0 gpa and 30 act. Showed no interest, so I’m pretty surprised! Congrats to all those who got in
