SkidmoreED

<p>I applied ED with 1320 SAT good recs and good ec's... any ideas on what anyone thinks of my chances? any one else apply to Skidmore?</p>

<p>Hey, I'm applying too, with pretty much the same stats, 1330 SATs and good grades and whatnot. I think that anyone who gets 1250+ will definitely get in if the rest of the app is good, but I could be wrong.
Skidmore's not one of the schools at the top of my list, I heard it might be too artsy...I take art classes, but I want a school with a good variety of people. I haven't visited yet, though.</p>

<p>Hi Skigurl,</p>

<p>I copied this from Skidmore's website:</p>

<p>SAT Scores: median for last year’s admitted students was 1300. </p>

<p>I hope you are right about the likely in. When my sister applied a few years ago, she was accepted with similar stats, but .... she had 4 friends who didn't get in with very similar stats. I visited the campus twice, once for interview, I liked the campus, and Loved Loved Saratoga! Skiing is a popular past time for students btw. Hope you get in and good luck on your first choices!</p>

<p>Hey, I applied regular decision to skidmore, and I'm pretty certain it's where I want to go. I have a 92 weighted gpa and a 1440. Would you say I can relax about getting in? And also, would you say EVERYONE is very artsy there? I'm looking for a diverse group of people...</p>

<p>Hey don,</p>

<p>I think you have a great shot! I don't think you can ever be certain in this environment but you certainly are a good match. I wouldn't say "everyone" was artsy. What I would say, is that it is a farily liberal school. I wouldn't say that it was hugely diverse like an urban school such as columbia or NYU, however, I felt like there were all different types of students there. There was a clearly positive attitude from the students towards their profs, and it was also a close knit community. I would also say even if you are not necessarily an artsy type, the school presents lots of opportunities to "play" with any artistic yearnings you may have! Hope I get in and I hope to see you there!</p>

<p>thanks senioritis,
yeah i visited the school in september and fell in love <3. I am sorta artsy (heavily involved in music), I just want to make sure that not everyones finger painting and theres enough kids that stretch their minds in other ways haha. See you in saratoga!</p>

<p>Finally got the package! What a relief, I'm glad I made it, I knew right away I wanted to go. Hope to see you there don!

<p>i just sent my RD application forms to Skidmore. I'm an international applicant from Vietnam. I got 1360 in SAT and my recs are very strong. But a problem here is that I'm applying for financial aid at Skidmore. Statistically, there were only 3 intel' students getting finaid so far at skidmore. Then, I kinda worrying about this. Btw... Skidmore hasnt admitted any VNese students so can diversity count to me ?</p>

<p>I would certainly think so.... but I don't profess to having any real knowledge. GL I'll be pulling for you duncan</p>

<p>Thank you very much senioritis, hope to see you next year at skidmore. I really want to be there :D</p>

<p>Being Vietnamese will definatly help your chances. In my interview I mentioned that I was born out of the country and that english is my second language (I've been living here since i was 3) and the interviewer said it would deff help my chances.</p>

<p>hahaha...cool information then. Btw, where are you from Wonderwall? Are you chinese then?</p>
