<p>gpa-
weighted - 4.17
unweighted- 3.8
rank- 46/300
i am in the top 15% right now. but note that i am still a junior. last year i took 2 honors and 1 ap class. i got a 3 on the ap european history exam.
this year im taking 2 honors and 2 ap classes. my gpa is higher this year- right now i have a 4.4 but hoping to bring it up to at least a 4.6.so hopefully my rank will at least be in the top 10% by the end of this year.
act- 29 taking it again to hopefully raise my score.
taking the sat in the spring…</p>
<p>other stuff-
varsity basketball (will be for all 4 years)
volunteer work…
in a few clubs</p>
<p>what are my chances of getting in? scripps is the only school i can actually see myself going to…</p>
<p>I would say you have an excellent chance. If you would consider playing basketball in college, see if you can get recruited by the Scripps coach. That should lock you in.</p>
<p>Scripps looks like a match for you. Your ACT is at the upper end of last year’s 25-75% range, and your cumulative GPA is above the admitted students’ average.</p>
<p>As a LAC, there’s a lot more than numbers to Scripps’ admissions process. I assume, based on your own vagueness, that you’ve had decent (but not particularly mind-blowing) involvement in your school and community. Given that, I’d still say “match.”</p>
<p>I’m curious as to why ijfri believes that recruitment would “lock you in” to an acceptance. I don’t know anything at all about the process, so I’m not disagreeing, but as a D3 school without a reputation for giving special consideration to athletes, it seems like a generous prediction. I guess that in combination with your other stats, recruitment would be a good ‘tipping factor’…maybe that’s what ijfri was suggesting. Sorry…again, not a disagreement at all, just wondering b/c I’m so clueless about the role of recruitment in Scripps’ admissions!</p>
<p>Point is: looks like a worthwhile shot. Good match. Good luck :)</p>
