Admissions
Welcome Prospective Students
In the universe of highly selective private liberal arts colleges, Skidmore truly
stands out. To be sure, we offer students an outstanding academic experience, a rich
co-curricular life, competitive athletics, challenging and deeply caring faculty mentors,
and abounding opportunities for engagement, international study, volunteerism, and
service. But we try and do all this within an approach we call creative thought matters.Click here to continue to read a message to prospective students.
Welcome Parents
Welcome to the college search process and to Skidmore's Admissions Website. I know
this is an exciting time in your family's life—doing all you can to support your sons
and daughters in finding the right college so that they can prepare for a bright and
fulfilling future. This can also be a potentially anxious time for you, hoping your
children will find the right match in their college choice and preparing to let go.
I know this because I have been in the Admissions world for three decades. My husband
and I have gone through the process with our three sons, all of whom successfully
navigated the college search process, and had, or are having, a great college experience.
