Hey everyone! I am really interested in applying to Skidmore. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the average GPA they're looking for in applicants? Does Skidmore have a minimum GPA requirement or is it more of a holistic approach?
Skidmore College does not have a specific minimum GPA requirement for applicants. However, they do have a holistic approach to their admissions process, which means they will take into consideration various aspects of your application, such as your coursework, extracurricular involvement, essays, recommendation letters, and standardized test scores (if submitted).
That being said, it's still helpful to know the general range of GPAs for admitted students to better understand where you might stand. For Skidmore, the middle 50% of the incoming class typically has a high school GPA between 3.5 and 3.9 (unweighted). This doesn't mean that you can't get admitted if you have a lower GPA, but it does indicate the level of academic performance generally seen in successful applicants.
Remember that your application's other components are equally important, so you should focus on presenting your strengths, passions, and potential contributions to the Skidmore community. Best of luck with your application!
