Tips for Getting In
  • Ask teachers (or anyone else that you deem appropriate) that know you well for recommendations.
  • Be involved in your local community.
  • Be sure to call admissions and schedule a tour/interview/etc.
  • Be yourself. Don't try to fit any "Skidmore mold" because there isn't one.
  • Go on a campus tour.
  • Have a strong academic background and work hard in high school!
  • Have an on-campus interview (if possible).
  • Highlight your interest in learning; remember, you're applying to school.
  • If you want to apply Early Decision, do it! (There's also Early Decision II.)
  • Show depth of interest and passion—quality of extracurriculars, not quantity.
  • Skidmore is constantly looking for more diverse classes, for students from different socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds.
  • Take time on your personal essay; Skidmore wants to get to know you!
