<p>I am a high school senior at a small arts magnet school.
My gpa is 3.802 UW, and I’m 10/62 in my class (I wasn’t kidding when I said it was small!)</p>
<p>My main extracurricular is Irish dance, I’m at the highest competition level, have competed at Nationals, perform all around the community and assist teaching classes at my studio
I’m also…
-President of my school’s NHS, which includes about 50 members.
-Involved in vocal music (highest level choir, and I take private lessons as well); I’ve been to All-State Choir and have participated in Solo and Ensemble for four years
-Member of my school’s modern dance performing ensemble (by audition)
-Associated Student Body (Student Gov.) representative in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade
-Staff member of my school’s Literary Arts magazine (we publish two “lit mags” per year, with poetry and prose witten completely by students and faculty)
-Entering the NFAA youngARTS program (I’m entering in Irish dance), a national art competition for high school seniors
-I’m taking or have taken all 5 APs my school offers</p>
<p>The first time I took the SATs, I recieved 630 M & W, 760 CR
My new set of SAT scores will be in on Thursday! :)</p>
<p>I have visited Scripps and LOVED it, I’m also applying for the JES scholarship, because the one way to definitely NOT get it is by not applying 
I also have some family history w/ the CCs (my grandfather got his MA at CGU and is in the CGU Hall of Fame, and another relative was the first Pomona board of trustees member).</p>
<p>Also, I especially interested in the English and International Relations programs, and would like to minor in dance. I’m also really like science and am interested in the Scripps College Press!</p>
<p>Anyway… it’s kind of strange listing this all out, but I really just want to know how some of you Scrippsies think I will do in the admission process :P</p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>Just a random fact: </p>

<p>The girl also happened to be a dual English/Politics major and a JES Scholar. So there’s definitely a <em>niche</em> that’s been left open ;)</p>
<p>I would say that your chances of admission seem quite good, but your chances at the JES scholarship are very slim. Numbers are a big factor and I believe that the average finalist SAT/1600 is 1500+. That said, your attitude is a good one…you can’t get what you don’t try for! Just be aware of your odds and don’t depend on the scholarship.</p>
<p>Were you able to interview when you came to campus?</p>
<p>Also, if you’re applying for JES, I assume you’re aware that the deadline is coming up on Nov 1 (scholarship deadline is separate from RD). Just making sure to put that out there.</p>
<p>Lastly, the girl I mentioned above is a friend of mine. She continued her dancing all through college (and now in grad school). I can try to put you in touch if you have any specific questions. Feel free to PM.</p>
<p>Good luck with admissions. Looks like any school will be lucky to have you :)</p>
<p>ETA: The link doesn’t seem to be working, but it brings you to roughly the right spot. Just scroll down the “Features” list on the right until you find “Dreamcatchers: Elizabeth Gallagher.”</p>
<p>Hahahaha, you won’t need to put me in touch with Liz, she’s one of my good friends! I had forgotten that she was a duel English and International Relations major… I knew she majored in one of them but I couldn’t remember which one. I’ve heard that both of those majors are really great at Scripps. Thanks for all the feedback, too. I know my chances for the JES are pretty slim, but I’m applying by Nov 1 anyway, so I might as well. Also- I was able to do an interview while visiting Scripps, I felt it went really well. The admissions officer was really nice, and I’ve emailed her with a few questions, too.
Thanks again! :)</p>
