<p>Chance threads are so hard, especially at a school like Scripps where due to its size Admission is able to take a holistic view. I think if you are able to go for an interview that would be a ggod opportunity for you to tell your story and get some feedback from an Admissions Counselor. I suspect if you get your scores up a bit that would help, but again, I would chat with Scripps and see what they recommend. Best of luck to you!</p>
