Since students learn not only from the faculty but from each other, Skidmore also seeks diversity in its student body, looking for a wide geographical distribution and a variety of talents, interests, and backgrounds. Because the number of qualified students applying for admission exceeds the limited size of each entering class, it is not possible to admit all candidates who could be expected to succeed at Skidmore. The Admissions Committee strives to admit those students whose abilities, interests, character, and background give them the greatest promise of profiting from and contributing to Skidmore College. The committee's primary emphasis is on the strength of a student's academic record, as evidenced by quality of secondary school courses, classroom achievement, and standardized test scores. Personal qualities, accomplishments, interests, and capacity for growth are also strongly considered, so careful attention is paid to recommendations, the student's personal statement, co-curricular activities, and, where applicable, the interview.

Recommendations Grades/G.P.A./Class Ranking Grades matter. There's no question that your grade point average (weighted or unweighted) is a key part of the admissions equation. Admissions committees view your grades as future indicators of how likely you are to succeed in undergraduate or graduate classes. Because just about all colleges and universities use grades as part of a scoring index, if your grades are weak, you'll need to compensate for this problem by performing at a much higher level on one or more standardized admissions tests.

Admission officers from some universities also consider other factors, such as a student's socioeconomic level, the geographic location of the high school (rural, inner-city, suburban), and whether the applicant is a first generation college student. In addition, applicants whose parents are alumni or who have letters written on their behalf by persons respected by college admissions officers is helpful.

Higher Standards SAT and Tutorial Specialists Home Courses Free Classes Schedules ... Register SAT Frequently Asked Questions What is the purpose of the PSAT, and when is it taken? The principle purpose of the PSAT is to give students practice on a test similar to the SAT. However, there are also a few scholarships based upon PSAT performance. Only students who take the PSAT in October of their 11th grade year are eligible for PSAT-based scholarships such as the National Merit Scholarship. What is the purpose of the SAT, and when should I take it? The SAT is used by colleges as one of the gauges used in determining acceptance to their school. At least in theory, the SAT differs from school in that all students taking the SAT do so under standardized conditions and are thus at the same advantage or disadvantage. Most students take the SAT for the first time in the second half of their 11th grade year; if they are satisfied they can stop, but if they are not, they can again take it in the first half of their 12th grade year. ETS does advance research to insure that each test is at about the same difficulty level, and the SAT exam is curved to compensate for small scoring differences, so there is no one month in which the test is more easy or difficult. Students should aim to take the test at a time when they will be most available to do extensive studying and test preparation, so when selecting a test date one should take into account factors such as AP exams (which conflict with the May exam), athletics, and extracurricular activities.
