<p>Anyone got an email about that yet?</p>
<p>Gah. No. Checking that and my portal obsessively.
I applied by the ED deadline but under RD…still no decision…I hope they tell me if I got in soooon :(</p>
<p>Ah, well, I suppose they’ll inform us in a couple of days. I just don’t know exactly which of those days.</p>
<p>I’m also waiting for the notification. Yeah, I was checking a bunch of the older threads and it seems like they’ve sent out the notifications either on the first or second week. Oh hey, Larentia, I’m from TX, too! Haha.</p>
<p>I just got the notification in my email. I’m not being considered for a scholarship… </p>
<p>Good luck to the rest of you though!</p>
<p>AAH I’M A FINALIST. … Does this mean I got in? Never got an acceptance letter, hahahahah</p>
<p>Paintmuffin, YAAY. I’M ONE, TOO. LOL I’m not sure if this means we got in or not, either. >_></p>
<p>Congratulations, you two. Unfortunately, I’m not a finalist myself. Here’s to hoping I manage to obtain the other ones though.</p>
<p>Awww 
Not a finalist. Congrats to you two! Stats?</p>
<p>not a finalist either… i kind of thought I would be, since my stats are pretty high for Scripps. Disappointing. People who were accepted/chosen as scholarship finalists, what are your stats?</p>
<p>in a nutshell: 2230 SAT, 3.8ish UW GPA, three AP’s last year and three this year, prospective pure math major, leadership in set design, white/asian</p>
<p>hmmm i wonder what i was missing… i have a 3.905 UW gpa, 2300 single-sitting SAT, 5 APs before this year and 4 this year. I’m the cofounder of a nonprofit and a club, and have done a couple other internships in my areas of interest, as well as being dedicated to a sport. I’m white and asian as well and a prospective bio major. </p>
<p>Maybe because my class rank is rather low? Since my school is competitive and weights GPA strangely for calculating class rank? Idk.</p>
<p>Paintmuffin, are your ECs (the set design leadership stuff) really really outstanding? Not to pry but I’m really disappointed and I’m trying to figure out where I went wrong… :’(</p>
<p>I’m basically in charge of the set crew for every production that goes up at my school (which is several per year), and it took a lot of time and effort to work my way up to my position as Artistic Director, but the funny part is that I don’t think Scripps ever received the recommendation from my mentor that explained all that! It didn’t show up on the portal’s list of documents received. I didn’t even send in my visual arts supplement until a week ago. There’s other EC stuff on my resume but nothing really significant.</p>
<p>My school is public, doesn’t rank, and doesn’t offer any more AP courses than I’ve taken, so maybe that’s it. I’m also a legacy at Scripps but I can’t see how that would factor into scholarship competitions–admissions itself, maybe, but not merit aid!</p>
<p>You sound like a very strong applicant! Don’t freak out. If you dig far enough back into this forum you’ll find that being a finalist doesn’t even guarantee an acceptance letter somehow, and obviously vice versa.</p>
<p>Not a finalist either. I’m a little surprised. 2170 SAT, 3.98 UW GPA, strong extra curriculars and community service. Maybe my essays werent that great? My personal statement was excellent but I didnt put that much work into my supplement…? Congrats you two! I hope not being a finalist for this scholarship doesnt mean I wont get in =(</p>
<p>I’m a finalist! 34 ACT, 3.9 GPA at a competitive boarding school, and about 500 hours of community service. Sorry to hear about those who didn’t get in, you sounded like really strong applicants. :(</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know what percentage of the finalists will end up getting scholarships? I’ve gone from excited to nervous because I know I won’t be able to afford Scripps without one.</p>
<p>hi paintmuffin, i don’t think anything from your arts supplement would show up individually in your portal because it was sent along with your common application. when i hit print preview it was the last pages of my common app.</p>
<p>Nah, I didn’t use the CommonApp arts supplement. Just sent Scripps a CD with my portfolio on it on December 28…</p>
