Do they use a portal or is it snail mail only?
@IntApp2022 Did the decisions come out on the portal or through mail?
I applied RD!
@knv421 Iām not sure about that
Decisions will be coming out later this week or early next week! I found out by messaging the school on Facebook. lol
Can you tell us exactly what they said @SaphaelEterna ? Thanks 
Can you tell us exactly what they said @SaphaelEterna ? Thanks
@IntApp2022 Sure! They said, āThanks for reaching out. Regular decision notifications are suppose to be sent out later this week/early next week.ā
Ah. Any idea what early next week means? Say by Wednesday? @SaphaelEterna
@IntApp2022 Tuesday or Wendesday seems likely, since later this week could be Thursday or Friday.
Iām so excited!! I hope I get in! Will the Porter Scholarship notification come with the RD results?
@IntApp2022 I think so, you would probably have to ask the admissions office.
Will the decisions only be sent via mail or email too? Iām an international student, so Iām confused.
I believe they will be sent by email as well.
I was wondering if someone could chance me for RD 2022 at Skidmore? Iām an international student (India) and applied for FA, so Iāve been getting worried about my chances of getting in anywhere.

hey! applied RD from a school with a very strong relationship with skidmore. 33 act, 93.5 gpa out of 100!
So perhaps next week?
I messaged them via facebook yesterday and they said:
āThank you for reaching out. International student decision letters will be sent electronically towards the end of the month and then you will receive a decision letter in the mail. Hope this helps!ā
So it seems that internationals have to wait 'til end of Marchā¦
Can someone send me a link to their facebook page? Also, I donāt think international students receive decisions separately from the others @fluffysimba , maybe they just said that to be noncommittal about the dates like other places which say by April 1 but then end up sending the decisions around mid March. Hopefully Skidmore comes out early next week like we expect
Hi! I messaged them on Facebook and got a response today. āHello. Regular decision notices will be mailed out towards the end of the month. Have a good day!ā
