Application Basics
Thanks for your interest in Skidmore. We look forward to introducing you to our campus
and helping you decide whether Skidmore might be the place for you. Skidmore is an
exclusive user of the Common Application:
. A $65 fee (or fee-
waiver request supported by your guidance counselor) must be submitted with your
application. We also require an official high school transcript, the Secondary School
Report (completed by your counselor), two recommendations from teachers who have
taught you in academic subjects, and your midyear senior grades. Beginning with the
2016–17 application cycle, Skidmore is test-optional with some exceptions.
See skidmo.re/checklist for details.
