Thank you for calling @hakeemh97
@Britsmum , may I ask how your other D likes Lehigh? My D wants to tour it. She’s only a sophomore in high school now but we are touring anyway because there’s not a lot of time junior year. Because my S is going to Skidmore this fall, she has taken Skidmore off her list. Doesn’t want to go to the same college as her brother. Haha!
She absolutely loves it!!! She is not a partier and spent the first two years in substance free with same group of hallmates. The opportunities are amazing. She is currently on study abroad and all of her roommates came to visit her during their spring break. Lots of hills at Lehigh so she actually lost weight her first year and asked me to stop sending her care packages because she didn’t want to lug them up the hills lol. Sopohmore junior and senior housing is awesome apartment style living. My daughter is in the IDEAS program and loves it. She will be doing an independent research project on mountaintop campus this summer. So many opportunities. I know the schools party rep and it had me concerned but there are just as many kids who find more wholesome fun. She fell in love with the campus and still loves it to this day! She is planning a 5th year to get her ABET certification for her engineering degree. IDEAS is a 5 year program. Honestly I can’t say enough good things about her experiences there. She participated in clubs and activities and has just had a great all around experience.
Just a few more hours, all international students! Good luck!!! I’ll post my decision as soon as I get it.
Hi @WaywardVagabond : By what time are you expecting?? 5.30 PM-ish? My S got rejected at Duke 
So, hoping for the best at Skidmore!! Good luck to you.
I got rejected from Duke too, but oh well! I’m sure your son has or will have wonderful options to choose from, @GreenSweetness 
I’m not sure by what time, exactly, but I’d personally expect it after 9AM EST so around 6:30PM India Time.
oh okay, thanks @WaywardVagabond ! And all the best. Lets keep each other posted.
@ WaywardVagabond FA is the tough part, right?!?
@GreenSweetness, yep. Did your son interview? A huge number of international applicants with stellar grades and SATs were rejected on the grounds of FA.
Good Luck everybody!
Thanks, @Dan786! You too Did you interview, by the way?
I requested an interview, but was not able to attend as I was representing my school at a national level athletic conference. Does it still count as showing interest?
I suppose so, @badlands. I had mine on Skype. Also, that’s amazing!
@WaywardVagabond Thank you! I’m sure having interview would give you an edge in the process. Guess we’ll find out in a few hours.
@badlands, if you had let them know the situation, I’m sure they’d understand and not count it against you. Also, is your CC name after the Badlands video game?
Also, I noticed something odd yesterday. The user @KarmaStrikesKS made an account yesterday, and only posted on this thread for a limited time talking to me… Any chance he/she’s a Skidmore Adcom? Conspiracies
@WaywardVagabond My CC name is actually after the movie Badlands, though I have played the game as well.
Hi. Will Skidmore declare thier results via email? There is no portal for Skidmore. Am I right?
@badlands, I’ll watch that one soon.
Hey, @GreenSweetness. That’s right. I think in just a few hours
