<p>Hello, I was just wondering what my chances are for Scripps College ED! I recently turned in my app...and i'm really nervous to hear the final decision.</p>
<p>Well, here are a few stastics:
Scripps acceptance rate: 36% while avg. ACT score: 29 composite</p>
<p>Mine:
GPA: 4.1 Weighted
ACT score: 28 :(
Great teacher recs.
Extracurriculars: Environmental club/campaign advisor. (I work around the city to advocate for environmental issues/natural preservation. Therefore, I founded a club at school. About 300 hours of community service from that and received a medal from US congress for my efforts.)
Hospital Volunteer: Where i'm president of the youth volunteer unit
Cross-Country running: Varsity
Track Runner: Varsity</p>
<p>I also hope to study the environmental sciences if I receive admission. It really interests me and i'm super passionate about it...Hope all goes well :/</p>
<p>Would it be a reach school for me?? I’ve barely had any B’s except for Freshman year…and a few here and there, other than that: I’ve been SUPER involved with environment issues. Leading environmental campaigns. Hosting events. Fundraising over $5000 in donations. Honored by U.S. Congress. Advocated for preservation of a 510 acre land-- and we pulled through! This, I guess, was very important to me…and I hope that it’ll reveal my passion for the environmental sciences/govt. policy…what do you think my chances are though? I know my ACT score is on the lower side.</p>
<p>Are you also applying to Pitzer due to your major? Apply to both in addition to a few more safeties. </p>
<p>If you really are unhappy about score, then take it this weekend. Only send scores if better than original. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you lacrossemom! I’ve actually alreadu sent in the app because of early decision…my chances seem very thin though because of my ACT score. However, I did have good essays and extracurriculars…</p>
<p>Yes! I will be applying to Pitzer. Recently interviewed there and I love the vibe! However, I like the whole “women’s college” atmosphere. I met the students at Scripps and I feel like I fit there better. </p>
<p>I do believe it’s a stretch though. :(</p>
<p>I got deferred! :(</p>
