You asked: Is it true that it won’t hurt an applicant if they don’t submit SAT subject tests as part of their application for admission?

Hi there,

We do not require SAT IIs and if a student does not submit them it will not hurt their chances. We recommend them for placement purposes once students enroll at Skidmore.

Hope that helps!

You asked: I understand that it is recommended that prospective students submit SAT subject tests as part of their application for admission. I can’t seem to find that requirement on the web site. Are subject tests , in fact, recommended and, if so, how many?

You asked: Are there conditions for recently accepted students to Skidmore? I mean their final exam grade?

Hi there,

The only specific requirements are that students must remain in all the classes they were enrolled in when we admitted them. Any course changes must be run by Admissions and we usually say no. Aside from that, there can be no dramatic drop-off in GPA during senior year. Slight dips aren’t a problem, but big drops can in extreme cases cause us to revoke our offer of admission.

Hope that helps!

You asked: What G.P.A do you need in order to transfer from another college?

GPA is a hard one to answer because it depends on the types of classes that you have taken and what is offered at your school. Generally students average at around B+/A- but some schools weigh GPAs, some schools don’t even give out grades, so it all depends on the context of your school.

Hope that helps!

You asked: I know the letters just went out today, but do you have an approximation of the regular decision acceptance rate?

Hi there,

We have not finalized these numbers yet, so I can’t say what the regular decision acceptance rate is, sorry. I can say that in the past, our overall acceptance rate (regular decision and early decision) is typically about 42%.

Hope that helps!
