**Skidmore Class of 2022! RD Official Thread**

I’m an international student and haven’t heard back yet!

@mrjsmom I’m from San Jose, California. But yes, I’m also URM. They only sent those emails to accepted URMs so they can register in time for the all-expense-covered 2018 Discovery Tour (exclusive to URMs). So don’t despair if you didn’t receive your decisions today; it only means that you are not URMs. If you are URM and didn’t receive the email, well, that kinda sucks. But from what I understand, these emails have nothing to do with how far up the applicant chain you are. Good luck to everyone who didn’t receive their decisions!

@S.alazar_sly Thanks so much! We’re not URM so we’ll just sit tight.

I got in and find this whole Discovery invite and URM label so funny; I just never thought of myself in that way; oh well, declining my acceptance so congrats to all, best of luck at this wonderful school

@teheaux yes. The “accepting the URM” for the discovery tour makes sense now.

I didn’t get that. I am an international student by the way. Is that for domestic applicants only?

maybe only for international URMs?

Yeah I’m domestic, NE specifically.

This is on their website. “The Admissions Office will mail decisions by Friday, March 23. Applicants with U.S. mailing addresses will receive their decisions via U.S. postal mail. Applicants with non-U.S. mailing addresses will receive their decisions via e-mail.”

Does that mean emails will be sent out on 23rd as well?
Also, can you share the link to that @hosh150614?

@hosh150614 Nevermind. Found it :slight_smile: So decisions will be emailed on 23rd?

Based on day of the week and last year’s release, I would guess mailed on the 21st. The URM release date this year, was predictable to the day based on last years information.

you guys i’m so nervous!! ughh the waiting is killing me

I just got my financial aid package from them in an email and I’m so happy. My EFC is 0 so I wasn’t sure if my need would be met but lo and behold it was! Best financial aid package I’ve received thus far!

OK - silly question: What is URM?? My daughter also got invited to the Discovery Tour. No financial aid or scholarship though.

@Carma370 URM stands for Underrepresented Minorities

Emails were just sent out a few days ago to accepted students stating that official letters will be sent out soon!

@calijunior22 Do you mean to URM and international? Or to all accepted students? My son hasn’t received that email so can you clarify? Thanks.

GUYS IGOT IN??? AND I WAS INVITED TO THEOR URM DAY

@teheaux CONGRATS!! =D>
