Yhh,it's quite sad someone will believe it's a sign of being close to acceptance only to get a rejection letter 💀🥲

silk inlet
#

perks of being active here is that it’s easier to catch deceptive practices like that hahah

mellow rover
#

Couldn't be more right 😭😂😂

mellow rover
#

Got this after asking him a question about Skidmore. 🤧🤧 This is bad right. 💀 Pls tell me 🥹

grand kelp
#

#

i hate frat culture

#

im definitely a more artistic/musical personal

#

i applied for the scientist/mathmatician scholarship

#

i think decisions r coming out tomorrow

the past few years theyve been consistent with releasing on march 16th

#

regardless of the day of the week

#

and in 2019 it was march 15th, so its today or tomorrow

#

im putting dibs on tomorrow

silk inlet
#

yep!! super excited. looks like decisions come out between 7:00-7:30pm EST usually

next tusk
#

imagine it’s today lol

#

that’d be crazy

silk inlet

im placing my bets on the 16th, but maybe we’ll be pleasantly surprised

near holly
#

omg pls gifload

rotund chasm
#

I got waitlisted

#

I'm kinda surprised ngl

#

SAT is mid af so we ignore that but overall I didn't expect it

#
  • I had a 4.7 in my first sem of senior year
eternal pine
#

nah i’m thinking it’s fr yield protect like

#

coping

#

but also

rotund chasm
eternal pine
#

with such a small class no way they’re letting in ppl with ivy level apps

#

(right?)

rotund chasm
#

Man I wouldn't know

#

This year is so wack

eternal pine
#

fr

#

college feels like a joke

rotund chasm
#

such competition and for what

#

and expensive af

eternal pine
#

i got into my state school which was a safety at first but atp like my only option besides a t10 with a full ride

#

and those chances are low asf 💀💀

shut iron
#

acceptance rate if 700/12000 was 5.8 percent?

#

2$/6: insane

#

thats*

#

actually insane

#

r they being fr

near holly
#

I KNOW RIGHT

#

no shot its fr

#

prob just for rd

#

not counting ed

eternal pine
#

went from 30% to 5? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ain’t no way

near holly
#

my guess is 5 for rd

#

and then ed or whatever they have is way higher so their avg actual acceptance is way dif

shut iron
#

do they hv ed2

#

no bro

#

i jus looked at the common data sets

#

they always admit 700 students

eternal pine
#

any ppl that got in wanna share stats¿

shut iron
#

750 has been their max ever

eternal pine
#

i have 3.85 uw, pretty good ecs, 1550, only a couple aps but school doesn’t offer many

shut iron
#

so they r being fr

#

700/12000 is 5.8%

#

thats insane

eternal pine
shut iron
#

i feel much better now

eternal pine
#

w everyone who got in with that rate

shut iron
#

literally

#

big w

#

congrats

tender grove
#

Waitlisted here, F&M accepted with $100K - they are similar schools so wtf is going on

shut iron
#

its prolly the insanely low acceptance rate

#

as they claimed

#

in the letter

near holly
#

holy shit

shut iron
#

and then they accepted ED prolly

near holly
#

thats actually crazy

tropic remnant
#

they didnt accept 700, they accepted abt 3000 for a class size of 700

near holly
#

so ~25% then

eternal pine
#

i see i see

shut iron
eternal pine
#

yeah where’d u get that

shut iron
#

u look at last yrs common data set

#

they have a total of 2500 undergraduates

#

theres no way hey accepted 3000

#

the class is 700 kids

silk inlet
#

it depends on yield rate though

#

not everyone accepted is gonna go

#

with that said, yield rate this year is gonna spike

#

so it’s probably more like 1-2k accepted

shut iron
#

thats very true

wet knot
#

Let’s go I got in!! Sorry to anyone who didn’t, but I wish you luck in all of your other decisions and hope you get into the best school for you!!

Their loss

slender hill
#

they're bunch of skidmarks anyways 🙄

near holly
slender hill
shut iron
silk inlet
#

that’s not accounting for yield - it’s more like 2000/12000

shut iron
#

they prolly accepted around 2k

#

which would make it around 20%

#

wait

#

they have a yield of 21% historically

#

so lets day that they aiming for that or wtv

#

they would have admitted 3.3k

slender hill
silk inlet
# shut iron they have a yield of 21% historically

that’s gonna go up this year given the selectiveness of everything though. for a school like skidmore, it’s a backup for quite a few suuuper qualified applicants. if someone gets in (who applied as a backup or whatever) they’re more likely to take what they can get

#

tldr it’s gonna be higher than 20% yield lol

shut iron
#

i mean i think so

#

i personally shotgunned (sorry ik thats not a popular opinion here but after rejecyed ED had to do smth)💀 so yea

crude relic
#
