Skidmore official RD class of 2020

@zekosadieurokrem , you were really fine though, so I suspect you are a Nepali. so where else are you applying? Got any acceptances anywhere yet? :-S

@kckusal99 thanks, but I’m actually Montenegrin (southeastern Europe, close to Italy). I did not get any decisions yet, and I believe the first one comes on Friday :-w I didn’t really ace the tests, so I don’t expect much. I believe I will get Middlebury’s, Northwestern’s, Colgate’s, and Rochester’s decisions this week. What about you?

@zekosadieurokrem , same situation here. Got just 27 on ACT, it sucked. I am waiting towards Colgate, Gettysburg, Connecticut, Bennington. I think I am likely be rejected from all due to needing aid.
Anyway, best of luck to you. I just hope we both get in, even better if in same college, Skidmore or Colgate any of them. :))

@kckusal99 Don’t worry, if they want you enough, they will certainly find a way to provide you with the necessary aid. Good luck! :-* Can’t wait for the decisions!

want you bad enough* sorry

Before I came to my new school, I was doing my first yr of A-levels and ended my first term with As in Computer Science and English Language.

@RamonaFlowers , you must have demonstrated high interest or creativity in your application. :"> Skidmore values either of them a lot.
Congratulations, by the way. :slight_smile:

@kckusal99 Thank u :slight_smile: I did write my essay about my passion for writing and visual art.

Could you message me your essay please. I think you got your scholarship for diversity as well.

@RamonaFlowers , no offense to @charlesben, but please don’t message your essays to strangers on the Internet. (I’m a mom.)

Hey @RamonaFlowers, that sounds amazing. I wrote my essay about my passion for music and how it helped me grow as an individual. I didn’t write it with Skidmore in mind, but now that I think about it, it matches Skidmore’s forte and “Creative thought matters” motto. I need a large amount of aid too, so I’m hoping for the best. Thanks for sharing with us!

Hey @mc23mvp. Would you share your stats/scores with us?

@WaywardVagabond Just about average stats…
SAT:2060
TOEFL:103(for international)
GPA:92

can’t evaluate my own essay but i think it’s not bad…

By the way,is there any internationals receive the official decision email?

Hey! Yaa im in an international student @zekosadieurokrem @snow30 but I don’t apply for aid

@mc23mvp Those aren’t “average” stats. They’re really, really good. People on CC give a very skewed image of what kind of people actually get into their dream schools. Well, I’m hoping to hear from Skidmore College soon. Thanks for sharing! May I also ask what major you applied for?

Thanks for your approval!!!
My major is Computer Science…
