Hello! I'm planning on applying to Skidmore College next year, and I want to know if they have particular SAT score requirements or recommendations. Any information would be helpful, thanks!
Skidmore College has adopted test-optional policy since 2016, meaning that they do not require SAT or ACT scores for admission. You are free to submit your test scores if you feel they reflect your academic abilities, but you're not obligated to do so. Skidmore's admissions team will evaluate your application based on various factors, including your transcript, essays, and extracurricular activities.
If you decide to submit your SAT scores, you can use the middle 50% score range of admitted students as a general guideline. For Skidmore, the middle 50% SAT scores typically range from 1320 to 1440. Scoring within this range suggests that you are academically competitive with the admitted students, although there is no specific cutoff or requirement.
Ultimately, your decision to submit test scores should depend on whether you think they strengthen your application and accurately represent your abilities. If you feel that your scores don't showcase your potential, it's totally fine to apply test-optional. Skidmore College will holistically review your application, taking other factors into account to form a comprehensive picture of you as a candidate. Good luck with your application!
