To anyone who has gotten in either this year or years before, could you please post your stats / your decision (RD, ED, etc. I know a couple of people posted theirs in the EDI thread but I just wanted to see some more stats. Thank you!!
^ Seconded! This would be a huge help. Thanks!
This post is for those who are curious to know the stats of a James E. Scripps Scholar. My daughter was admitted 2 years ago. I believe those scholarships are only offered to RD applicants. So, if you think you might be considered for a scholarship by Scripps, apply RD. This is especially important if your family does not qualify for financial aid or is on the borderline.
