<p>WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?</p>

<p>If you want a merit scholarship you had to apply by Nov 1st, did she do that and was she a finalist for the JES scholarship?
Finalists were invited to come to Scripps this Thursday and Friday.</p>

<p>no she did not get this. Her sister is an alumni and her recommendation was from an alumni also</p>

<p>can anyone let us know her chances of getting in?</p>

<p>Scripps accepts 46% of all applicants according to USNews. A 1290 on a 1600 SAT is sufficient for admission. Your daughter,therefore,should get in .</p>

<p>Garrity's prediction seems to presume that the majority of applicants' SATs are not also sufficient for admission. I don't know numbers or details off the top of my head, but all of the Claremont schools have fairly self-selected applicant pools, so this can't be assumed.</p>

<p>That said, your daughter's grades look great. Her SATs are below Scripps' average (math is the clear weak spot), but her GPA is above average. Her ECs look fairly run-of-the-mill in terms of their nature, but demonstrate great dedication and service. The language-related EC stands out as being very Scripps-friendly. </p>

<p>It might come down to what kind of applicant pool the school has this year. Your daughter's chances look just fine. Not outstanding, but by no means poor. She has a good shot. Best of luck through the waiting, and congrats to your daughter on her achievements :-)</p>
