Hi, I’m an international applicant from Africa. I applied for Ed2. Has anyone heard back from Skidmore yet?
My heart keeps skipping a beat.
hey, i applied ed2 as well, got my acceptance in the mail this past saturday!!
no one asked, but here are my stats lol:
- 1160 sat (600 rwl, 560 math)
- 24 act
- 4.21 gpa
- class rank at time of applying was 10/235
- wrote my essay about working in my grandfather's fields over several past summers
- extracurriculars are really substandard compared to other people (no sports, didn't run for student gov't, etc)
- only two ap classes: us history & environmental science, haven't taken the exam for either yet
- took two dual enrollment classes through my local community college
i did a skype interview with one of the associate directors from the admissions staff around late november, as far as i know it went fairly well
i needed a lot of financial aid and they were extremely generous; i nearly got a full ride ((((((:
my stats are well below their middle 50%, but i think me being an african american female from a really rural part of north carolina, along with the eccentricity of my essay played a major part in them saying yes. so yeah, goes to show that stats truly aren’t everything haha
best wishes !!
Really? That’s so cool, well, I’m African American from the real Africa. I got an email from them with a link to check if I’m admitted. Well, I’m still very nervous, I might breakdown if I’m rejected, that’s why I haven’t checked the link yet. I would have preferred if they wrote me a rejection email than sending me to that link seriously.??.. I’m too anxious, I’ll just leave that email there for a while. Lol.
