@charlesben, that’s not a low score! And are you an international student?
I’m really sorry to be a nuisance, but could someone please tell me if I have a fair shot at Skidmore?
International student asking for substantial aid, 2150 SAT, As and Bs in transcript. Decent ECs and lots of sports. Some volunteer work as well.
@WaywardVagabond yes I am an international student asking for a lot of aid. My transcript is all A, 4/4 gpa. Top 10% in class. Descent eca and volunteering
@badlands, @charlesben… damn… I feel like you two will steal my shot at Skidmore.
I do hope we all get to attend. Where are you guys from? I’m from India.
@badlands, I’m from right next! Pakistan.
Awesome! Did you guys demonstrate any interest? I’m kinda concerned about that since I never got the chance to do so.
@badlands, my essay was about my love and passion for music, and I had an interview. I had a couple of back-and-forths on email with my region’s counselor. I don’t really know if that counts as “interest”, but I sure hope so since it’s one of my top schools.
And I am from Nepal. I hope all three of us get in. Too nervous!
Calm down everyone! I know skidmore loves diversity so internationals get good chances. According to the notification date discussion skidmore sent out their official letters on March 25 last two years so it’s just a few days away.
Thanks, @mc23mvp. I’m just really nervous since it’s my top school, considering they tend to give excellent aid to those admitted. Let’s hope for the best for all of us.
Bad news for me that UW UCD BU all rejected me…I thought these schools are “match” for me but I am totally fail…
So REALLY appreciate the chance skidmore offered!
By the way, @mc23mvp, do you know what time they’ll be released on the 25th?
@WaywardVagabond Actually i don’t know when exactly they will send the email. But keep refreshing the mailbox it’s gonna be out soon. Though i got the early acceptance but i’m still anxious about that official letter.
Hey I am from Bangladesh! I guess we’ve got South-East Asia covered right here! XD but yes the wait is excruciatingly painful. I called Skidmore up and they said they are gonna email around the 24th or 25th. Best of Luck everyone!
Thank you @mc23mvp! By the way, what do you think of my chances with a 2080 SAT, 120 TOEFL, essay about music, and some nice ECs (school president), and need aid?
Hi, I see there are a lot of international students here! I wish you guys the best of luck and aid because Skid gives the best aid for international students in the country, I believe. I have a question, when will mail be sent domestically, like in the US, since I am from New York, and I applied too. I’ve seen in the past it has been on March 23.
Hi, @Jasming98! Thank you so much for your kind words!
@WaywardVagabond
I can’t figure out the reason for rejection…so…
PS:120 toefl is spectacular!
@mc23mvp, thank you! I really hope that’s the case. Is Skidmore College your final choice?
