Skidmore’s admission process is based on a thorough, detailed, and holistic evaluation of each candidate for admission. The Seasonal Reader will work in partnership with admission counselors in reviewing applications of candidates for admission. The team-based reading process involves analyzing academic credentials, reviewing recommendations, personal essays, and other application documents, providing a summary evaluation and decision recommendation for each applicant, and participating in Admission Committee reviews.
The Seasonal Reader will need to commit to reading and committee time for approximately 17-24 hours per week in early December and throughout January and February. Some committee work may be scheduled in early March. Reading will happen during regular work hours (8:30 am-4:30 pm Eastern Time Zone) on weekdays. Reading and committee work will be conducted remotely. All readers are required to attend 7-14 hours of reader training in the fall, which may be in person at the Admission Office or remote. Additional mandatory training sessions may be offered through webinars and other online tools at the reader’s convenience.
