<p>Congrats to all! I was waitlisted and wanted to know if much of a shot of gaining admission. Advised there were 6,800 applicants, so I assume many waitlisted. It was mentioned that only 23% of applicants accept enrollment which seems low.
Like this college very much</p>
<p>Stats: 3.4 UW GPA
SAT: CR 780; Math 570; Writing: 710
Good recs ; French Club ; Nat'l Honor Society; many community service projects

Undecided on major
Very good essay</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>"23% of applicants accept enrollment" = 23% of accepted students end up going there? That does seem low, but I guess it makes sense if you count people who think of this as a "safety" and people who can't afford it...</p>
<p>I'd say if you're going to stay on the waitlist send them something.. another essay or rec letter to prove Skidmore is really your first choice.</p>
<p>That said, I hope people who are sure they are not going fill out the provided "no thank you" slip ASAP out of respect for waitlist candidates.</p>
