Office of Admissions

Admission to Skidmore College is competitive and selective. Every year, we are fortunate to receive thousands of applications from a diverse range of students who demonstrate strong academic aptitude, intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness and an energetic commitment to learning.

As the Office of Admissions, it's our mission to seek the next generation of creative thinkers whose abilities, interests, character and background give them the greatest promise of profiting from and contributing to Skidmore.

But above all, we're here to assist you as you choose Skidmore.
