Waitlisted. A bit of a surprise as DD was accepted at several more selective schools. But she never visited the campus because of an injury this fall, and that may have hurt her chances.
International here and I still have not received my decision. Should I call them?
Domestic applicant, just received my acceptance letter! Super hyped
DD waitlisted in NH. She was a strong applicant i guess, we applied for as well Double sigh
Waitlisted. I was surprised because I had a really good interview and showed interest. 1370 SAT, 3/250 in class, 4.0UW⊠my ECs are decent I guess
Accepted
1270 SAT
3.81 GPA
Very strong ECâs - VP of class, student council, National Honor Society, Model UN
6 APâs
Very unique essay
Did not visit or interview
Son got the skinny envelope today. 4.4 weighted gpa, interesting essay, 36 ACT, good ECs, tons of AP and advanced classes. He didnât interview or demonstrate interest. He also got a waitlist letter from Carleton today, and he didnât interview or demonstrate interest there, either. Lesson learned. Showing interest is key.
My daughter was accepted, but the lack of financial aid makes it NFW. 
Seattle: Received acceptance envelope today around 2 pm today.
Very strong interview, attended a summer program on campus (unaffiliated with the school) but no official tour or visit.
4.0 UW GPA
All honors or AP classes (8 in all)
33 ACT score
Very strong ECs
Etc. etc. etc. - I donât think the basic stats matter very much, you can be the best at your school but if your application doesnât show you embody their motto, they wonât want to accept you.
Lack of demonstrated interested and yield protection are all possible explanations, donât get too discouraged. If a school thinks they are just a safety or an afterthought they wonât be as likely to accept you. I donât know what was up with the college pool this year but it was insanely competitive (depressing) and seemingly random at many other schools. Skidmoreâs listed acceptance rate is around 36% but they had 10,000 applicants for a class of 650 something students. Even though they over accept thatâs still an insanely lower acceptance rate.
Rejected, international. :-*
International student with no letter or email. Help!!!
4 people I know got in to skidmore. Theyâre all internationals whoâre paying full. Two of them had below a 1300
ridiculous
So, skidmore only accepting full paying internationals
@Bluebell2018 Itâs disappointing. But honestly after one day, he is fine looking at the other similarly ranked/selective LACs where he got merit aid. I think it may take ME longer to get over it, lol.
Same with my DD. Weâre getting on Waitlist but in the past, nobodyâs gotten off it!!!
S just got his acceptance package. Its probably off the list as he has gotten into a couple others that were higher on his list. I liked Skidmore, but they really should send out acceptances before the higher tiered schools announce theirs. They are just losing an opportunity to get kids excited about the school earlier. oh well.
international student without notification, donât know what to doâŠ
Check spam. Otherwise, just call the admission office.
Seems as though they wait list everybody and only flat out reject international students. Have any US students received a flat out rejection?
