Skidmore Class of 2019 RD Discussion and Results

daughter accepted in New England – below 4.0 weighted gpa / 2000+ SATs - showed absolutely no interest - never visited, but is thrilled and will most likely attend.

Rejected with 2140 SAT, 4.0 weighted GPA–but I showed absolutely no interest (no visit, no interview, etc.)

I am still very of shocked that I was accepted looking at everyone’s stats. I did not visit or interview and I needed a good amount of financial aid which they did provide (I was surprised with a generous grant and fa offer). With my low scores ( 27 ACT/ 1810 SAT), I am lead to believe my acceptance was based off of my GPA (96) , strong course load (9 AP classes), EC involving intel science research, and my essay which detailed my passion for science, art, and how they relate. I think I am proof that SAT scores are not everything for a LAC like Skidmore. Again, congrats and good luck to everyone! I know we will all end up at amazing colleges and thrive! :smile:

I still haven’t received a letter? Should I be worried? I’m in the Detroit area not sure if anyone received anything that is from this area.

Wait listed in Texas. 2110 SAT, 4.2 W GPA(sketchy UW GPA though), 10 AP classes, 0 EFC. I didn’t interview but it wasn’t the best and I won’t be taking the waitlist because I got into a great school that’s a perfect fit with incredible aid. Congrats to all accepted!

D rejected. 2200 SAT 4.6 weighted/3.9 unweighted. Strong ECs including dance and research internship at nationally known hospital. Also atring letter of rec from teacher who is Skidmore alum. A little confused here.

Still haven’t received one here either. San Diego. Guess tomorrow…

Accepted, no visit, no interview, 2270 SAT, ORM. I thought Skid’s acceptance rate was 37%, why does it say it only accepted 655 out of 8500 which is like 8%?

They mean 655 spots for incoming freshman. They accept more then 655 students and some choose to attend while others don’t. Finally if they underestimate the amount of kids who will choose to attend skidmore they will take students from the wait list until they reach 655 kids.

Thank you very much! I’ll be attending Swarthmore in the fall! I didn’t visit but I did have an alumni interview and it was honestly the best one I’ve ever had (the lady hugged me in tears at the end and she we got along so well, I still email her!). I was super surprised at the decision but thankful to be able to go to a place like Swat. Congrats to those who were accepted though!!!

Anyone who hasn’t received a Rejection/Acceptance mail yet?

Nothing here. But i am an international student from Asia. So for international is the decision coming through mail or email?

My S has not received his notification. We are in the Chicago area. So surprised it didn’t come in today’s mail.

Accepted! 30 ACT & weighted gpa 3.75. I’m glad they considered her ACT because her gpa doesn’t reflect what she can do. Definitely going!

@lvle1116‌ I haven’t received my decision either! I’m also an international student from Asia. I guess they haven’t sent out the e-mails yet?

@erinaceous Just got mine through email! Accepted! Maybe you can check your emailbox. Good luck!

Accepted! Although looking at everyone else’s stats, I’m shocked at how qualified everyone is. SAT 2140, 3.3 UW GPA. I think my acceptance was due to the fact that I expressed interest in their Equestrian team? Anyways, I read that they cut down on the size of this year’s freshman class to 655.

@whylimeryk, congrats on your acceptance. I’m curious to know where you read that stat about cutting down the freshman class. Can you share?

Simuni, regarding your post #122, is your name Jose Tonto Washington?
