Same. I am laughing at my misery
I thought I would get to reject Skidmore myself…
It’s getting intsense now lmao
@cashme @Meshmesha @intellectboy I got an email from Skidmore admissions around 4pm UK time with the acceptance. In the email it gives you a link to a portal
Congrats to those accepted. And keep your dreams big and your worries small those who got rejected.
Rejected. International student from Romania
Accepted by mail from NYC
rejected international here, too! how cute
Looks like Skidmore wasn’t interested in internationals this year.
Their rejection letter is so gooood =D>
waitlisted from NY 
Nothing in the mail today. Another anxious 24 hours in CT…
Last year was also record number of applicants. The acceptance rate was 28% overall last year.
@maeee09 My daughter was wait listed (RD) when she applied as a senior - we needed a LOT of aid (and classmates with lower scores and grades were accepted, those who asked for no aid). After her freshman year at another college she applied as a transfer, was admitted and given an outstanding financial aid package. Good luck to you!
@mamabe Do you think they are making their decisions based on need? My daughter, too, needs finaid but has good stats for Skidmore. Unfortunately, she got a letter today that looks thinish (she’s not home to confirm). Definitely not an acceptance brochure, from what I can see, but maybe a waitlist.
Need plays a MAJOR role @mnemom. A MAJOR MAJOR role apparently. Because they sort of promised to meet your full need. So if you can pay for your cost of attendance, they’d love that. And if you can’t, they want to make sure they admit everyone asking for aid that when met will not be over their budget for the class
I’m international and i asked for a lot of aid. Unfortunately, I was not lucky to be among the few that still got accepted even after doing so. I even had the “strongly recommended” interview, but I guess that didn’t help.
That is sooooo weird… I was waitlisted at Reed, Babson and Yale-NUS but rejected at Skidmore… WHAT? My SAT (1470) is way above the average. I really wasn’t expecting a rejection… Well,I am running out of safeties and no acceptance yet.
My D was wait listed in NY. Very strong stats for Skidmore. Showed great interest 3 visits my guess is it is likely due to need. She qualifies for FA -not much -but she does qualify. She definitely did not see this wait list coming and she is quite sad.
I’m so annoyed by this whole process. It is just such a crapshoot. You don’t know if you’ll get in even if your stats place you in the top of the college’s stats, especially when financial need is in the equation. No wonder students apply to so many schools. You don’t know anymore what’s a target, what’s a safety and what’s a reach.
My daughter wait listed 1450 SAT, 3.91 uw 8 Ap’s, AP cal junior year, Dance 12 hours a week etc.
Visited and interviewed.
Needed financial aid - it think this is why.
@mamabe thank you! I’m really hoping to get into Skidmore cause the community college we have in american Samoa doesn’t offer a bachelors degree for the major I intend to pursue (which is Biochemistry). I hope being an Asian residing in American Samoa for over 11 years would at least catch their attention in terms of diversity. And good luck to everyone receiving their admissions decision!
