<p>To explain the poor amount of EC, I switched schools halfway though high school. From 7th to 10th grade I lived in Luxembourg, Europe with my parents and then I moved to a boarding school in England before junior year began. My new school only allows one EC per trimester.
My essays and teacher recommendations are going to be amazing and I am retaking the SAT I's in October (but I do not think my scores will go up a lot).
oh and I also had a great interview!</p>

<p>Well, your stats aren't outstanding, but you have more Extra curriculars than I did :P It sounds however like your schools may have been more challenging than a typical American public. Your essay+teacher recs+interview+international experience should help you out. But, to conclude, I cannot give you an emphatic yes or no, admissions being a mite unpredictable. You also have your graded analytical paper to worry about. Hopefully you've got a fabulous one just laying about! G'luck</p>

<p>If your SATs don't go up a lot, I wouldn't stress out too much. I would really focus on your essays. I remember the dean of admissions telling us that in choosing the class of 2012, in many cases it came down to the essays. Scripps is looking for intelligent, genuine women, and the best place to show that is through your essay. And it's great that you had a good interview! That will definitely help. I would say that you are a very strong applicant, but, especially with Scripps, admissions are unpredictable. Best of luck :)</p>
