According to the Scripps website (First-Year Applicants | Scripps College in Claremont, California), applicants are recommended to have 3+ years of mathematics. This is including precalculus, which I haven’t taken. Can I still be competitive as an ED II applicant?
I have a 3.98 W/3.88 UW GPA. Freshman year was tough! My GPA will hopefully go up after this semester is over.
I’ve won multiple state-level theater awards, am a student representative on a local trail committee, an activities board president at school, and a student ambassador. I have some other EC’s but they probably aren’t as significant.
Anyways, what do you guys think about my chances at Scripps without precalc?
Chances aren’t high because you don’t meet the stated recommended minimum level of math, which is there for a reason. IMO there are likely not many unhooked applicants who would be accepted without pre-calc.
Did you add DE stats for second semester? Did you and/or your counselor send an updated senior year schedule to every college you had already applied to at that point?
I added stats for next semester. My counselor said that there isn’t a way to send an updated schedule once you’ve already applied, but the change will be there when I finish applying to RD schools.
Your portals should have somewhere to send updates, if not send an email with your updated second semester schedule to your admissions reps. Your counselor could also send your updated schedule directly to admissions, but sounds like they unfortunately don’t want to do that.
