Hi, I’m looking at skidmore as one of my top choices, and I was wondering if being a legacy would give me a “one up” in the application process. My family doesn’t go generations back, but my father is a Skidmore alumnus. What are my chances of being accepted?

For reference, here’s my profile

3.7 weighted GPA, 3.83 UW

2 honors classes (we don’t have APs)

31 on ACT, 11 on writing

4 years varsity girls soccer

2 years of publications (student art collective)

published author in award winning school magazine

3 years volunteer with a nonprofit for underprivileged children in Los Angeles (United in Harmony)

2 years of running my school club of said organization^

4 years of creative writing
-2 years of ceramics
-5 years of Spanish (Spanish literature level)
