Skidmore
seeks students who demonstrate strong academic ability,
intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness and an energetic
commitment to learning.
For
transfer admission, the Admissions Committee will place
particular emphasis on the applicant’s academic record
in college, but will also consider the secondary school
record and standardized test scores. The Committee will
consider how well previous course selection at both the
secondary and post-secondary level has prepared the applicant
to satisfy Skidmore’s degree requirements. Personal
qualities, accomplishments, interests and capacity for growth
are also considered, so careful attention is paid to recommendations,
the student’s personal statement, and, when possible,
the interview.
A
tentative evaluation of transfer credit will be available
upon request at the time of acceptance. The definitive evaluation
is provided by the Office of the Registrar and is not available
until after the student has decided to enroll at Skidmore
and an enrollment deposit has been received. Only courses
in which a student has received a grade of “C”
or better are transferable.
