<p>I'm a senior in high school right now and I was wondering what my chances are for being accepted into Scripps college, which is easily my number one choice. I have an off campus interview with a Scripps rep on the 16th of this month but I have never visited their campus. Though I know that interviews don't usually count toward admission, since Scripps is so small, I'm just hoping they will in this case! Do they?</p>
<p>I'm a really outgoing person with a 3.75 overall GPA and a 2260 for SATs with a 680 in math, 780 in reading, and 800 in writing. </p>
<p>I'm applying as an anthropology major. </p>
<p>My classes are actually not that challenging in terms of APs, though I took mostly honors classes. The only AP test I took was for studio art in which I got a 4. I am currently taking AP Stats, Bio, and Lit. </p>
<p>I am publicity manager for an art and literary club and I am confident that my rec letters will be pretty good. I also worked in a lab at USC for four months. </p>
<p>I got a 750 in the SAT Bio test and will be taking SAT Chem and Lit this year. I expect scores in the early seven hundreds.</p>
<p>Did you take the ACT? I’m not very knowledgeable on SAT I scores, so don’t mind me. Your scores don’t seem too bad, though. I’d say it still may be a reach. Just make sure to make those essays really unique. Good luck! <3</p>
<p>@Lizz123108. You sound like a great match for Scripps. Scripps puts a lot of emphasis on personal essays as well as an interview if you had a chance to go through one. Grades and scores are also, of course, important. But nothing is the be-all-end-all for Scripps admissions. Scripps has a very holistic approach to admissions and everything is usually weighted very equally. Yes, if you have had an interview Scripps takes that into consideration, definitely. </p>
<p>There are so many applicants who are also very qualified. Make sure you have some back ups that you would actually enjoy going to and would be happy at. I don’t believe there is only one school for someone, but I do think there are many schools that are a better fit for someone than others. Your scores are great and so is your grade point average and extra curricular activities, it seems that you’re definitely a match for SCripps.</p>
<p>I think you would make a great addition to the Scripps community and I wish you the best of luck!</p>
Your scores don’t seem too bad, though.
