@Inteledge, I think today or tomorrow. Let me know your stats? All these Pakistani applicants are scaring me…
Scaring me just because I’m Pakistani too, @Inteledge.
Just saw your stats, @Inteledge… I guess I’m screwed.
@WaywardVagabond Ayo. I’m Pakistani too. Awaiting the decision. It’s killin’ me. Where are you from ?
@KarmaStrikesKS, I’m from Lahore (Lahore American School). I’m extremely worried about the Skidmore decision because I’ve gotten to some of my top schools but cannot afford any of them. Judging by last year’s thread, many internationals who needed aid and had absolutely stellar stats were rejected…
Let’s hope for the best, though. Did you interview + apply for aid?
I applied to many but then figured none of them provided financial aid. Skidmore seemed to have a very generous financial aid system. Though, you’re right. I think demanding aid plays a vital role in the decision process.
Didn’t have an interview though. Didn’t get any notification for it either.
Ah alright… But yeah, they have great Financial Aid for admitted students (emphasize admitted). Would you mind sharing your stats, @KarmaStrikesKS?
Almost all As and As throughout in school based examinations.
AAC in A-level.
2 As 5As 2Bs in O-level (including Ad-Maths)
But I only have a 1900 SAT score. That’s what has me worried.
Took it in December so didn’t get time to retake it or take the subject tests either.
What about you ?
Your A/O level grades are great! And the SAT isn’t really a deciding factor for Skidmore College… A lot of it goes down to interest level and what kind of applicants they’re looking for. Did you have any art-oriented, “creative thought matters” extra-curriculars?
Anyways, you SAT is great @KarmaStrikesKS
@KarmaStrikesKS, my SAT is a 1400CR+M, 2080 super scores (2070 single sitting). I don’t know what my CGPA is, but my 9th and 10th grade GPAs were horrible, however 11th and 12th grade GPA are much, much better. I have 6 AP courses (3 science, 1 english, 1 math, 1 history).
I also sent my Math 2C Subject Test scores to them… don’t know if that helps. Did a lot of Pakistanis apply? I really hope not!
@WaywardVagabond Don’t think so. Very average ECs.
Your SAT score is great !!
9th and 10th grade don’t matter much I think so. It’s mainly about the past 2 years.
- A sight of improvement might make a good impression.
Best of luck.
Haha. Well, you know how it’s like here. 98% of us can’t afford foreign education. So keeping Skidmore’s aid package in consideration, I think loads of Pakistanis applied. Many with stellar grades ECs and scores. Let’s just hope for the best for everyone though. There’s room at the finish line for all of us.
Thank you so much @KarmaStrikerKS.
@KarmaStrikesKS, did you register to CC just for Skidmore?
International students: if they’re emailing us today, I wish everyone the best. I genuinely hope each and every one of us makes it to Skidmore College.
@WaywardVagabond how do you know that they are going to email us today? Did you hear from them?
Hey, @charlesben: I don’t really know if they’re emailing us today. Someone in this thread posted that according to a correspondence with the Admissions Office, they were told that the results may be emailed on the 24th or 25th. I hope that helps, and good luck!
@WaywardVagabond Can I ask where else you have been accepted? You seem like a very qualified student, and I want to see if we have been accepted into any of the same colleges.
