Dear Student,

Thanks for your interest in Skidmore! We’re a creative, dynamic, intellectual community known for our innovative interdisciplinary curriculum, close faculty-student collaborations, and fabulous Saratoga Springs setting. Last year, nearly 6,000 students applied for a freshman class of approximately 600.

Skidmore’s Admissions team appreciates how challenging it is to identify a college that measures up to your educational needs and puts you on a path\ to achieve your ambitions. It requires careful research and investigation and some genuine soul-searching about who you are and what you want to be.

With that in mind, we encourage you to attend one of our open house programs this fall. We especially recommend the general open houses unless your primary interests are science, math, or the arts, in which case you should attend these specific open houses.

We look forward to introducing you to our campus and helping you decide whether Skidmore is the place for you!

Sincerely,



Mary Lou W. Bates
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid
