How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Skidmore College admits about 21.1% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,340 and 1,480, and ACT scores typically fall between 31 and 33. Among enrolled undergraduates, 12.8% receive Pell Grants and 14.8% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is modest, at 4.3%. Azimuth ranks Skidmore College #716 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects the institution's selective admissions profile: at roughly 21.1% acceptance, Skidmore College's admission funnel is narrow, and the share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students enrolled is limited relative to institutions that admit larger applicant pools. The six-year graduation rate stands at 82.6%, with 88.0% of Pell-eligible students completing within the same window. Azimuth ranks Skidmore College #617 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $57,800 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing Skidmore College in the 85.8 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects a selective institution where low-income students who gain admission complete at strong rates and achieve solid post-graduation outcomes — though the institution's narrower admission scale limits how many students from low-income backgrounds benefit from that pathway.
